Native American Urban Ministry in Phoenix

06/02/2026

Wow-Creator God is good. 64 people in recovery finding ways to help their journey of sobriety. Thank you to Malcolm Kootswatewa for leading the circle and to Tamara Yazzie for assisting.

It was such a joy to visit with the young people who came early at 5:00 to enjoy our first of the month meal. We are so blessed to offer the Talking Circle to our community. Thank you to recovery homes who provide transportation. We are blessed with a solid core of leaders. Beautiful people without ego, who share the leadership of the Circle filled with sacred souls. Thank you , Tunkashila/Grandfather, Creator God.

A huge THANK YOU to Christ the Lord Lutheran Church in Carefree for the donation of 1000 (thousand) coffee cups! Plus coffee, sweetener and other supplies we use for our ministry!! I was pleased to be able to share a bit about Native American Urban Ministry and they even made us this great display.
We are grateful for every ministry that invites us into their church and wants to learn about us.

Connection. Community. Healing. Love. The energy in the circle tonight was strong. We had lots of songs on the big drum, on the water drum and the hand drum. Most of the people don't know each other when they arrive but leave knowing they are valued, respected and part of something bigger. I have to give thanks to the Creator for sending so many leaders to us, for without them the circle would be incomplete. We are blessed to be able to help so many people find peace in a place of love.
