During Thanksgiving and Christmas, Operation Compassion delivered
12 semis to many of the 22 Indian Nations of the Western United
States equipping Native American pastors and leaders in providing
Thanksgiving and Christmas for tens of thousands of First Americans.
Under the direction of James Rodgers, Coordinator of Native American
Benevolence for Operation Compassion, food, clothing and toy drops
were made in North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Arizona
and New Mexico.
Recently a major event occurred at the Church of God Ministry Center
to the Navajo Nation, directed by Bishop Douglas Cline. Each December
Bishop Cline hosts a Christmas banquet for his pastors and members.
This year Operation Compassion delivered several semi loads of food
used at the banquet as well as providing family food boxes for the
pastors to take home with them.
James Rodgers also oversaw the delivery of 2 semi loads of toys
that were distributed both to the children of the Navajo Nation
attending the banquet and later to children throughout the Navajo
Nation, that extends over 4 states, just days before Christmas.
