The Team

Josh and Annah Brock

KENNEL DIRECTOR

While attending the University of Arizona, God began calling Josh into full-time ministry through the campus ministry The Navigators. After attending Bodenseehof Bible School in Germany, Josh actively sought where God might have him work. Stepping through an open door, Josh served in Native America, first in British Columbia, Canada and then in New Mexico on the Navajo Reservation. Following six months with his brother’s church plant in New Mexico, Josh accepted a position with AYM. Since 2016, Josh has led the ministry of AYM. He met his wife, Annah, in 2019 in Pinetop, AZ when Annah visited the reservation from Kansas City, KS with her church. They married in October of 2020 and work fulltime with AYM.

PROGRAM DIRECTOR & OFFICE ADMINISTRATOR

Danielle first engaged in full-time ministry with her father at UIM International, a church-planting ministry among North America’s indigenous people groups. During this time, Danielle often visited her brother and sister-in-law on the Navajo reservation. There Danielle began to realize God’s leading to minister among Native communities. The Lord narrowed her focus to Native youth through her volunteer work at Rock Nest Ranch Bible Camp in British Columbia. When her brother Josh accepted a position with AYM, Danielle jumped right in after finishing her BS is Health Sciences from Arizona State University.
