| Mr. Tiger congratulates the Kindergarten class and Parents. |
Dear Friends,
Thank you for blessing us with your prayers and gifts
throughout the year. We will be
traveling this summer to visit friends and share our ministry to the Navajo
children at Hilltop Christian School (one of the facets of Western Indian
Ministries). We appreciate prayers for our trip.
As we closed out our school year, Roger and I gave each of
our students a character award and an academic award at the assembly. But, even
more important was the Blessing that we prepared for each child. The Blessing
was done in our own classrooms, and it was amazing how seriously the children participated
in this and how they listened to each other’s blessings.

Mine were fairly short, so I’d like to share a few of them
with you. The names and genders have been changed, of course.
May Liam walk before You, God, as King David walked, with integrity of heart and uprightness, doing
according to all that You have commanded him, and keeping Your statutes and
rules. May Liam use his gifts of communication to lead Your people and his
nation.
Bless Esther with good health, as she grows to be a faithful
friend and helper as was Dorcas. May
the Lord go ahead of her and prepare the way. May God come behind her and
protect her. May the Lord surround her and make her aware of His presence. May
Esther use her gifts of friendship and helpfulness to bless her sisters and her
friends.
Terrell, God has uniquely equipped you for His service. You have a wonderful ability to see God’s
hand all around you and to share that with others. God has gifted you in the
area of academics. May you commit to God those gifts He has given to you. Use
the gifts to be a breath of fresh air and to help others who are seeking the
Father. May they see in you a life blessed by faith.
May Larry be a soldier of prayer as was our Savior Jesus. May he seek the Father
before, during, and after his time of struggle.
May he pray at all times, asking for everything he and his people need.
May Larry use his ability to learn quickly to help his brothers.

May Rhianna’s heart be encouraged as she learns more about
Christ Himself, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
As she discovers the talents and gifts You have given her, may she grow up like
Timothy, who was an example to believers
in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity.
May Ilene be willing to be giving and loving and enable
others to fulfill their potential as did Leah
and Rachel in the Book of Genesis.
Lord, help her to be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power and put on the
belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, have her feet fitted with
readiness that comes from the Gospel of peace, take up the shield of faith, the
helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. May
Irene use her fine reading ability to glorify God and bring pleasure to others.
May Abigail continue to love God with the fervor and
child-like faith she has now. May her love for others increase and overflow on
Your people and her nation. May the Lord strengthen her heart so that she will
be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father, when our Lord
Jesus Christ comes with all His holy ones. May Abigail use the gifts you have
given her to be the leader you want her to be.

| Pajama Day was a favorite. |
May Clayton use his strengths to be a mouthpiece for Your
grace. May he be protected from the evil one—for You have not given Your
children a spirit of fear, but a Spirit of love, power, and a sound mind. May
he be bold like Peter in following Jesus.
May Agnes, who knows so many things, know the Author of all
wisdom and knowledge. May she be like Paul
and be able to teach others with joy what she knows and what the Lord will be
teaching her throughout her life. May the God of peace equip Agnes with
everything good for doing His will, and may He work in Agnes what is pleasing
to Him.
May Janet be like Mary,
who was the sweet, loving Mother of Jesus. May her love abound more and more in
knowledge and depth of insight, so that she may be able to discern what is best
and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of
righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ – to the glory and praise of God.
May Janet be a great blessing to her people with her gifts of service and
kindness.
May the Spirit of the Lord – the Spirit of wisdom and
understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might – rest upon Ivan. Keep him from
the evil one and help him to rejoice in the Lord always. May his gifts be not
only useful in his own life, but in the preservation of the lives of others.
May Kristina always know that her needs are being met
according to God’s riches in Christ Jesus. May she walk a righteous path, which
will be like the light of dawn that shines brighter and brighter until the full
day. May her diligence, perseverance, and forgiveness bless her way and bring
comfort to her family.

May Donald know he has been chosen and blessed by God. May
he not be tempted to do wrong, but always follow the Lord’s teachings. May
Donald learn to be sensitive to others and inspire others to do their best. May
Donald’s gifts and abilities be used to help others who have difficulties to
trust in God’s power to be overcomers.
Show Terry that he is fearfully and wonderfully made, and
that Your works are wonderful. Teach him that he is precious in Your sight, and
that You love him. Bless Terry and help him to use his gift of friendliness to
bring people together in harmony.
God has endowed you, Jacob, with special artistic talents.
May you be surrounded with many opportunities to use those talents for good
works. May the Lord accomplish great things through you, and may you touch many
lives and make a difference in many people.
Until Later.
