Dunamis Ranch to Welcome New Directors
On March 16, 2010, Greg Smith (who has served as Director at Dunamis Ranch and Minister at White Mountain Apache Christian Church) informed the Dunamis Board Chairman that after much thought and prayer he was resigning from Dunamis Ministries to pursue other opportunities. The board was saddened by this news.
The Dunamis Board members immediately began communications with the Worship Team at the White Mountain Apache Christian Church (WMACC) to ensure the ongoing viability and mission work of the church located on the White Mountain Apache Indiana Reservation. Those very capable team members (Bob & Carolyn Eikenberry, Pete & Kim Kemp, Kurt & Kelle Foland, Frank & Zarine Estelle and Vanessa Hammond) have enthusiastically accepted the challenge to continue our Dunamis Ministries partnership and to keep the WMACC functioning and serving their members needs. The average weekly Sunday morning attendance varies between 100 to 150 men, women and children, and services include weekly prayer meetings, men’s prayer breakfast group, women’s group, and jail and recovery support group meetings. The WMACC has a great working relationship with the Apache tribal members and we are confident that will be maintained.
Dunamis Ranch, located about an hour from the reservation, has been without a director on site since August. Dunamis' Board has since been seeking a couple whose function would be to maintain the property and to help accommodate the 15 to 20 Missionary Teams that come every year to do ministry work on the reservation. The WMACC worship team has been very supportive and assists with the missionary groups that come each year and will enthusiastically continue to do so. The Dunamis Board was successful in finding Matt & Karen McLean from Columbus, Indiana to be camp directors and will be moving to the Ranch April 15, 2010 to begin their ministry with Dunamis and look forward to having an active roll at WMACC.
The Dunamis Board sincerely thanks you for your past prayers and financial support. We covet your continued prayers and financial support for Dunamis and look forward to hearing from you; or better yet, having you visit the Ranch and experience the ministry that is going on there and at WMACC.
If you have any questions or concerns please, please call one of our church members who serve on the board: Keith Schoettmer or Ron McGill; or WMACC worship team member Bob Eikenberry or Pete Kemp. Contact information is available from the Cicero Christian Church office.
Dunamis Ranch Worship Center Construction
June & July, 2007
Hanging drywall, finishing bathrooms...it's rough, but ready for visitors to sleep in the worship center now instead of the Smith's garage! A group of 30 arrived in late June to do just that.

Lots of drywall awaits in the main room of the worship center. The view is toward the entrance to the restrooms and sleeping areas. |
The same basic, view, but now the walls are closed in and the finishing work has begun. The kitchen area will be in the far corner. |
  Preparation for a privacy screen in the bathroom stall in one of the two large restrooms.
At right is the rough and ready men's restroom. There is a temporary sink and lighting. See the pattern of the non-stick flooring at the bottom of the image. |

The mattresses have moved from the Smith's garage to the worship center! The bottom right shows it was a bit crowded in the garage! |
Painting is being done on the home built for the missionaries at Dunamis Ranch. |

This is Nicky and her baby sister Vicky with Kennedy. Vicky has 4-5 holes in her heart. She is having surgery later this summer. |
At a church service on the reservation. There were two baptisms in the river. People were there to “party” at the river and they had a big surprise when 45 of us showed up for baptisms!! We all sang “Now I belong to Jesus” and it was very touching. |
