(2) Story hour

When an Adventist named Verna Clay tried to minister to the people of the Umatilla tribe of Native Americans, they were suspicious, and resisted her initial efforts. It was not until she began a Story Hour program that they started sending their children to her.[1] This initial program blossomed into a 20 year ministry, and many of the Umatilla came to know Jesus through her efforts. Verna Clay died in 2006, and was honored with an official Long House ceremony.[2] It is extremely rare for anyone outside the tribe to receive such an honor, and it all started with a Story Hour ministry.
