About Us
Hi, all, and welcome!
Blog Diyiin Bi is finally running smoothly. We had several technical problems, including a denial-of-service attack against the company where our e-mail accounts are hosted (soon to be moved to our own host) and some domain-name server problems. But things are now working as they should.
So here is what should have been in the first post, but was displaced in favor of information about the Southwest Indian Ministry camp meeting…
…The purpose of Blog Diyiin Bi is to minister the Gospel to the Navajo people and the world. We are not an official website for any ministry organization, but most of our ministry-related posts will be about activities and functions of Southwest Indian Ministries since I am associated with SWIM. Southwest Indian Ministries is part of the Church of God (international HQ in Cleveland, TN.) Their website is http://churchofgod.org. SWIM does not yet have an official website.
Diyiin Bi is a Navajo phrase that means “It is God’s.”

We will need to keep the lights on, so there is a PayPal donate button in the sidebar, and there will be some advertisements in the sidebar, the footer, and in some back pages. We also have a category called “Pastor Marv Recommends” that will have posts about everything from business opportunities to software. The first post to that category has a review of the best Bible study software in the world (and it’s free!) and a review of the best online business opportunity I have found so far. Check it out by clicking on the Pastor Marv Recommends link in the sidebar.
There is also a page for link trading partners at http://diyiinbi.org/links.php (link is in sidebar) and another page that has links from the Pastor Marv Recommends articles, located at http://diyiinbi.org/links.html (link is in sidebar.) We may add other pages with links, advertising, or other information from time to time.
We have both atom and rss feeds, and you can follow us on twitter. Again, these links are in the sidebar. We will probably also post excerpts of our articles to other social networking sites, such as facebook, myspace, youtube, and/or others. Please let us know what your favorite social networking site is, and we might post to that one as well. Our twitter homepage is http://twitter.com/diyiinbi, but we would appreciate it if you took a look at http://nothingcomparesto.com/diyiinbi/twitter and help us to get more followers. If you don’t have a twitter account yet, you can click on the “Join today” link on our twitter homepage and sign up for free.

Now, just a little about me (Pastor Marv) and my wife, Betsy. I am an assistant pastor at Thoreau Church of God and a computer teacher at Southwest Indian Ministry’s Western School of Ministry. My beautiful wife, Betsy, is Navajo and I am belagana. (Belagana is a Navajo word that means “the people we fought with,” but is generally used to refer to any white person, friend or enemy.) Betsy is one of the finest Christians I have ever met. She loves the Lord with all of her heart, mind, soul, and strength. Not one day goes by that I do not thank God for putting her in my life.

The header photo was taken with a real cheap antique 2 megapixel digital camera, and cropped down from the original 1280×960 to 760×200. When I am able to buy, beg, borrow, or otherwise acquire the use of a better camera, the photo will be replaced with a similar but higher-quality one. The photo shows Prayer Mountain, which is on the SWIM campus.
God bless you all,
Pastor Marv
