Amen.
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
We hope that you take advantage
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.07
of contacting
Holbrook Indian School
00:00:04.10\00:00:05.43
of praying for them or
financially supporting them.
00:00:05.47\00:00:07.97
And if you did not have
time to write down that address,
00:00:08.00\00:00:10.64
you can always call us at 3ABN
00:00:10.67\00:00:12.84
and we'll be happy to put you
in touch with Holbrook School.
00:00:12.87\00:00:15.98
And we just want to thank
each one of you for coming here
00:00:16.01\00:00:18.68
and want to give you a moment
to share a closing thought
00:00:18.71\00:00:21.82
with our family
at home, so Loren.
00:00:21.85\00:00:24.42
One of the things I found out
00:00:24.45\00:00:25.79
when I first got to Holbrook
SDA Indian School is that
00:00:25.82\00:00:28.39
the students view
family much differently
00:00:28.42\00:00:30.16
than western culture does.
00:00:30.19\00:00:33.06
So I would ask them,
so you have any family
00:00:33.09\00:00:34.76
or any brothers or sisters.
00:00:34.80\00:00:36.13
They said, "Yeah I
have a brother and sister."
00:00:36.16\00:00:37.50
And I find out later
know that was their cousin.
00:00:37.53\00:00:39.43
And so family is
viewed much broader
00:00:39.47\00:00:42.37
and that's
because they see family
00:00:42.40\00:00:44.04
just beyond the
nuclear family, they see clans,
00:00:44.07\00:00:46.34
and they have a way
of introducing themselves
00:00:46.37\00:00:48.84
that describes their
clans of their parents
00:00:48.88\00:00:50.25
and their grandparents.
00:00:50.28\00:00:51.61
And I wanted Adrienna
to share that with us.
00:00:51.65\00:00:53.08
Oh, wow. Yeah, let's hear.
00:00:53.11\00:00:54.82
Let's hear what
that sounds like.
00:00:54.85\00:00:56.18
Wow. That's incredible.
00:01:05.93\00:01:09.56
So the root, you were
saying the root system
00:01:09.60\00:01:12.17
you would say with
the family is much deeper.
00:01:12.20\00:01:13.97
Ancestry.
Ancestry, you could say.
00:01:14.00\00:01:16.04
So you are, and
what language was that?
00:01:16.07\00:01:18.71
You're Navajo, all
right. That's Navajo.
00:01:18.74\00:01:20.94
Navajo. Wow!
00:01:20.98\00:01:22.31
It's incredible. It's
beautiful. That really is.
00:01:22.34\00:01:24.18
And that just
goes as a testimony
00:01:24.21\00:01:27.52
of how close family is,
00:01:27.55\00:01:28.88
and how much your family
is a part of your identity.
00:01:28.92\00:01:32.15
Because that is
what the students are,
00:01:32.19\00:01:34.39
they identify by
this chain of family,
00:01:34.42\00:01:36.96
much like in the Bible
00:01:36.99\00:01:38.33
when they used to
introduce someone,
00:01:38.36\00:01:39.69
they give the lineage.
00:01:39.73\00:01:41.70
Yes, the genealogy. Yes.
00:01:41.73\00:01:43.06
And that is something
that the Navajo people do is
00:01:43.10\00:01:45.13
they give you
lineup of this is who I am.
00:01:45.17\00:01:48.50
This is the
people I've come from.
00:01:48.54\00:01:50.51
Yes. Yes.
00:01:50.54\00:01:52.11
Now, Jovannah, what
if someone's watching
00:01:52.14\00:01:54.34
maybe today and maybe,
00:01:54.38\00:01:55.71
and I didn't tell
you this ahead of time.
00:01:55.74\00:01:57.21
But maybe someone comes
from a background of abuse,
00:01:57.25\00:02:00.22
someone's hurting
and broken inside.
00:02:00.25\00:02:02.18
What would you tell them?
00:02:02.22\00:02:04.55
I would tell them that
Christ provides healing.
00:02:04.59\00:02:08.02
And when I first came
to Holbrook Indian School,
00:02:08.06\00:02:11.33
I rejected Christ.
00:02:11.36\00:02:12.69
I rejected Christianity
because of what I thought
00:02:12.73\00:02:16.03
that it stood for.
00:02:16.06\00:02:17.87
And as I learned more
00:02:17.90\00:02:20.17
and as I cling to Christ more,
00:02:20.20\00:02:25.11
I couldn't let go
because of who I learned
00:02:25.14\00:02:27.81
and I knew that
He was in reality.
00:02:27.84\00:02:29.48
Amen.
00:02:29.51\00:02:30.85
And God provides
healing and He doesn't...
00:02:30.88\00:02:35.48
You can't keep secrets from God.
00:02:35.52\00:02:37.22
And so He can heal
even the broken pieces
00:02:37.25\00:02:41.32
that you try to hide.
00:02:41.36\00:02:42.69
Amen.
00:02:42.72\00:02:44.06
What a testimony of the healing
that God has done in your life.
00:02:44.09\00:02:47.20
Your testimony has blessed
and inspired me and thank you,
00:02:47.23\00:02:49.63
Jovannah, for
coming and for sharing
00:02:49.66\00:02:51.77
and for giving back.
00:02:51.80\00:02:53.13
As God has worked to heal you,
00:02:53.17\00:02:54.74
you're working
to heal other people
00:02:54.77\00:02:56.91
or God through you is
working to heal other people.
00:02:56.94\00:02:59.51
Adrienna, thank you for coming
00:02:59.54\00:03:00.94
and sharing some of your journey
00:03:00.98\00:03:02.74
as a student there at Holbrook,
00:03:02.78\00:03:04.48
and we pray for
God's blessings over you.
00:03:04.51\00:03:06.41
And, Loren, thank
you for you and your wife
00:03:06.45\00:03:09.05
and for your
ministry at the school working
00:03:09.08\00:03:11.65
to bring that help,
and hope, and healing.
00:03:11.69\00:03:13.56
Praise God, covet
your prayers. Amen.
00:03:13.59\00:03:15.69
And we thank you at
home for joining us.
00:03:15.72\00:03:18.43
