A man who has had such an impact on my daily walk with Jesus Christ, Pastor Leonard Navarre of Valley View Christian Church in Edgewood, NM, will be leaving this month on the 19th for his 6th mission trip to India. Leonard is pictured with his friend, who he calls “Happy Man” who made a guitar out of the shell of pumpkin!!! WOW! This past Sunday at each service all the Elders at Valley View laid hands on Leonard and prayed over him. Here is some information from Leonard: “I am so excited about my 6th Mission trip to India, January 19 thru Feb. 1st. First, thank you all for your prayers and your financial support. Without you, this trip would not be possible. Here’s a few highlights, and of course, upon my return a full report with pictures. So the itinerary looks a little like this: we will be traveling to several places in India to preach and teach. One place looks like the Evangelist training center in Darjeeling (where they grow the world’s best tea)! While there we may have the opportunity to enter the country of Butan and preach. I am really excited about this opportunity. We will also be providing blankets, wheat, rice and a new sari to about 150 widows. Another highlight of this trip is to relocate 500 orphans from the forest to their new homes near a large city where several churches can help oversee the orphans along with their full time personnel. With your super financial assistance I will be able to give 2 motorcycles and 12 bicycles to Indian evangelists so that they can better carry out their ministerial duties. This Mission trip is promising to be very exciting. I covet your prayers for our team. The light Leonard shines so brightly for Jesus Christ here in New Mexico will soon be shining in India. Please keep Leonard and all in your prayers, including Leonard’s lovely wife Diana and family and the congregation at Valley View.
Just a side note, Leonard is celebrating his birthday this week and I would say he is at least looking a couple of years younger!

You see I know the heart of this man Leonard, he shows his love for me and my family daily, he shows us the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
