Dear Friends and Family,
If you’ve been around the Maxfield family at all the last
few months you will know that the people of the Yakama Indian Reservation and
the staff at Sacred Road Ministries (SRM) have become very important to
us. The Yakama people are in great need of love, compassion and
care. The staff at SRM are
about giving them love, compassion and care through mercy ministries and
sharing the Gospel of Christ.
Some of you have felt the call of God to do something
unexpected, outside your comfort zone, beyond anything you’ve ever done
before. If that is you then
you might have a taste of what we have experienced the last few months.
Well, as my pastor has said, it is hard to ignore the call
of God.
The Maxfield family is working toward joining the staff of
SRM full time. We have
begun the process of raising partners to support us in prayer and through
finances. Darren will take
on a Director of Operations role and look to help expand the ministry in new
areas of economic development and a Christian School. The entire family will be involved in
this ministry in different ways.
This year will be a year of transition. Raising funds, transitioning from my
firm, selling our home, etc. Our
goal is to be on the Reservation January 2015. We ask for your prayers.
If you would like to partner with us financially in the
ministry we would like to talk with you and let you know how you can do that. We need donors to start giving on our behalf
now so that we can raise the funds needed before we join Sacred Road. The funds we will raise will go to pay our
salary – i.e. our food, housing, health insurance, etc. – and other ministry
related expenses.
If you want to learn more about this journey of ours you
can go to our blog at www.maxfieldsintheshadow.blogspot.com. If you want to learn more about SRM
you can go to www.sacredroadministries.com or please call or email me.
Blessings,
Darren, Susie, Emily and Rachel Maxfield
