We are thrilled at the fruitfulness of the Lord's work in Navajoland. Having grown up on the Navajo Nation as a missionary kid, I remember a time when the Navajo were very closed to the Gospel. In fact, most Native American Tribes were that way. By God's grace we are beginning see a softening of hearts and doors of opportunity opening, especially among the Navajo! The Water of God's Word is producing a vibrant Harvest Field ripe for laborers to go, win the lost and establish Bible-Believing, Baptist Churches!
God has mightily blessed the vision of Bro. Joel Haynes as he and his family have participated in the planting of 10 brand new churches on the Navajo Nation over the past 16 years while living on the Navajo Reservation! Ganado Baptist Bible College was established in 2012 where Native preachers and full-time workers are currently trained for the ministry. Navajoland Baptist Youth Camp was established in 2020 and has impacted the lives of young people from 8 different Native American Tribes and host camp weeks annually in the heart of Navajoland.
In 2025 God moved the base of operations for Navajoland Baptist Missions to the Haynes' sending church in Arlington, TX where Bro. Joel Haynes is the pastor. This move is enabling Navajoland Baptist Missions to spread its initiatives further than ever before! By God's grace there will be a Gospel Light in every one of the 574 federally recognized tribes across the nation in this generation!
Feel free to navigate through the various pages and links of this site. We hope you find the website both encouraging and informative but even more than receiving information about the great work being done to reach Native America, I hope God will touch your heart and give you a burden for Native people. There are many ways you can be involved and we hope you will make it a point to invest in reaching Native people for Christ.
