Shana visits Twin hills

February 25th, 2013  |  Published in Native American: July 14 - July 21, Uncategorized by MissionTeam

I am visiting the churches we will install solar power at this summer.  The first one I went to today was Twin Hills.  Located at almost 7,000 feet elevation and very far north in Arizona.  We travelled about 5 miles on dirt roads to get to the church.  They are off the power grid, have no running water and use outhouses.  When we arrived, there were 25 people in the little church that is heated with a wood stove.  They are anxiously awaiting our arrival in July!!


And we’re off….
