Ministry Detail
Ministry Description:
Location and Culture
20 miles south of Gallup, New Mexico, Broken Arrow Bible Ranch is bordered by the Navajo Indian Reservation and the Zuni Pueblo. Broken Arrow is a summer camp ministry where American Indian youth come to hear about Jesus and how he can make a difference in their lives. In the off-season, this beautiful location is the site of many retreats and conferences.

Ministry
Your group will come alongside the Broken Arrow staff, helping them maintain the facilities and encouraging them in their ministry. Days at Broken Arrow may be filled with painting, carpentry, youth ministry, landscaping, prayer and devotional times, learning about local culture, and more. Come prepared to spend a week in American Indian country, listening to God’s voice and then stepping out in obedience.

Food & Lodging
Food will be prepared on-site by the staff of Broken Arrow Bible Ranch. Safe drinking water will be provided. Lodging will be either in the lodge on bunks or in cabins on bunks. You will need to bring your own bedding and towels.

Airport & Transportation
Groups must provide their own transportation. You may drive to Broken Arrow Bible Ranch or fly into Albuquerque, New Mexico, 150 miles northeast. The Albuquerque airport has excellent vehicle rental capabilities.

How to Pray
Life is hard on the Navajo Reservation as well as the Zuni Pueblo with limited economic opportunity, poverty, broken families, suicide, alcoholism, drug addictions, diabetes and a high rate of violence and automobile accidents. Broken Arrow Bible Ranch, in the midst of this area, is a bright place in a dim world. Pray against these strongholds and ask God to use Broken Arrow to share the hope of Christ with those who so desperately need it.


Dress Code & What to Bring
Dress Code:
We do require all trip participants, leaders, and staff to adhere to a dress code on each of our EDGE mission projects. We do this to show respect for God, respect for ourselves, and respect for others. Please help us achieve this goal by teaching your group that our dress code isn’t because we’re extremists, but because we love God, we wish to honor His creation, and we don’t wish to cause others to stumble. You can find specific guidelines in your M101 manual or by contacting your EDGE representative.
