Amlin Update: Siloam Church Gets a New Deck

3/18/2023

Comments

 
​Thanks to some of the church members of Siloam church and thank you to the work team from Hedges Chapel for the hard work on the deck at Siloam church in Laveen, Arizona. Pastor Steve Cartwright stained and sealed the deck after the team left for Ohio and that topped off the fine job this team did. The hope and prayer is an outdoor ministry under the stars on this beautiful deck. Thanks again to the team for their hard work!

Amlin Update: August 2022

8/22/2022

Comments

 
Hello and blessings on you. Thank you for your prayers, financial support, and taking the time to read our update.

First I want to thank God for His many blessings. He has supplied prayer warriors, which we desperately need, financial investment support, without it we could not go where He wants and do our part for the ministry, and Holy Spirit presence to fight the battles before us. We seek the Holy Spirit, trust the Holy Spirit, and do our best to follow the Holy Spirit. We count on you to help us make a difference in people’s lives for eternity!

I am now trying to plan a couple trips to the reservation to work on the following items.
  1. We have two exterior doors that need to be replaced.
  2. We need to make some adjustments to duct work in the attic until we can get the units replaced.
  3. New soffit and fascia board.
  4. Insulation
Just to name a few things.

Steve and Debbie have been blessed with God’s moving in the church family but of course there are challenges. Please keep them in your prayer. Debbie’s father passed recently so a special prayer would be helpful for her, Steve, and the family.

Thank you again for being a part of the ministry.
 
In His service,
​Tom and Pam

Greetings! I wanted anyone interested to know that we have an updated power point presentation (below) from the start of the work at Siloam up to May 25, 2022. I hope you find it interesting.
Also, I spoke at Harvest Chapel in West Jefferson, Ohio on Sunday, May 29. The sermon title is, "Walking in the Rain with Jesus" and it's available to view below.   

Make it a great day.

June 2021 Update from Siloam Church

6/25/2021

Comments

 
Greetings from our house to yours. We have heard it said, and most of us have said it, it has been a different year. No matter your occupation, your age, or anything else that defines you, it has been over a year of wondering what is next. I assure you, nothing has caught the Father by surprise, or wondering what to do next. I know He is in control.

We still have some work to do on the project at Siloam before we enter into phase II. We decided before we start the addition, we should upgrade and repair anything on the existing church building that needed it so we don’t have to go back later to complete those items. The present church building needs to have new windows, two egress security doors, and electric conduit from the back of the building to front of the building placed in the attic. We also need to check all the old wiring in the attic, and then blow insulation into the attic for better temperature control. We are now discovering the shingles may need replaced as well. The windows that are there will be removed and we will frame in a smaller horizontal style window for light, fresh air, and more security. The conduit will give a place to pull in wiring in the future, if needed so we can proceed to add insulation sooner than later.
​

Siloam Indian Church has been there over a hundred years and during that time they have gained respect for their participation in the community while sharing the truth and love of Christ. Steve and Debbie Cartwright have pastored there for many years and have become a part of the community offering their gifts and talents to help the Pima people. One example, Steve started a guitar ministry a few years ago that has now reached into other communities and churches because of some of his students taking what he taught them to their church.

The electric is hooked up and now Steve and Debbie are ready to get settled.
They have now moved into a double-wide on the church property (pictured above and below) so they can offer more to the community, and to the church. They will not have to drive an hour one way to the church four times a week to do ministry.

Siloam has always been a special place and since the ministry, and the church have been there for over one hundred years, we don’t think God is finished with it yet.  

I have been blessed with supporters that have continued through the Covid situation, and we have banked your investment, sending Steve and Debbie money to help some of the people have food to eat, helped purchase a projector they needed for service, and trying to prepare for the day the restrictions are lifted.

The restrictions are beginning to loosen and we can now begin again to help make a difference in reaching people for Christ. On July 23rd, I will go to Arizona to work with Steve to begin to put action to our many months of talks to start the project again. I may take one day and do some site work excavation around the church and their new double wide. 

We will also be working with a team from Capital City Church arriving July 29th going to our Tucson churches as well as the Siloam Indian Church. They will be helping with children’s ministries, bringing a puppet team helping to encourage the Arizona Project and Siloam Indian Church. I will be reviewing our church buildings in Tucson to see if we need some structural work done on them.

Please keep all of us and our families in prayer. Pam will not be able to go with me this time and they, as well as I, wish that wasn’t so. I have a lot to do in a short time and I also believe the timing of this ministry team is of God so I am anxious to see what God has planned.

I hope this next week to get back to updating the web site, BeautifulHandsMinistries.com, as well.

Please check it out.
Thank you again for your prayers and support,
In His service,
Pam and Tom

Update from Siloam Church on the Gila River Reservation

11/6/2019

Comments

 
Hello to you all.

I am happy to report we had a great work team with us in Arizona on the Gila River reservation working on the Siloam church. We got a lot of work done, but most of all we made some good relationships with some of the church people who come in to work with us, and some who brought in great food. 

It was a joy for me to have the team from Ohio come and meet some of my dear friends at the church and to experience their hospitality. They brought in delicious food, which we enjoyed so much. I especially love red chili stew and fry bread.

We were able to put in a new floor, base around the new floor, new doors on the two bathrooms, and two new vanities. We also was able to put in 13 new lights in the sanctuary. You can see in the pictures below the united effort between the church and the team. 
 
We had a few challenges along the way, such as two vans that decided to act up, or shut down might be a better word, but the Lord helped us through that as well. 
 
Thanks to the church people who stopped in to help and the team who took vacation and paid their own expenses to come and work. It was a great week. Busy, but great!
 
I hope you enjoy the pictures. If you would like to contribute to the ministry, you can do so securely through the website. We had some extra expenses for this project, so we do appreciate the people who have been supporting Beautiful Hands Ministries. 
 
In His service,

Siloam Church Progressing Towards Re-Dedication on Nov. 12

10/28/2017

Comments

 
The work at Siloam Church is progressing. We have been pretty busy trying to get Phase I finished in time for a re-dedication on November 12th.

The work team from Ohio, and some of the people from the church did a great job together. We hated when it was time for the team from Ohio to leave. Together, we have been able to reconstruct some walls, re-route some electrical switches, build a good permanent storage room and a temporary storage room, build some false beams, change some lights, fill in 2 doors, repair some drywall, and now we are trying to finish the drywall, paint, and put up the trim.

After the team left, some of the people from Siloam Church have continued to help and it is such a joy to work with them. I will try to keep updates coming with pictures. Please continue to keep us in your prayers.

In His service,
​Tom Amlin

Siloam Church Ministry

7/24/2017

Comments

 
One of the ministries we are blessed to be a part of is the redesign and remodel of the Siloam Church on the Gila River Reservation.

This church was established over 100 years ago when a man donated the land to the people to build a sandwich building for church.

​What is a sandwich building you ask? We will answer that question and more as we continue to feature the Siloam church with more history, new progress, ministry development, and how you can help if you like. The information will be ongoing for the next few weeks which will include members, work teams, and maybe pictures of a sunset.
