More on Chuck, Neena & Asha Clevenger


Married in June of 1996, we have been involved with varied ministries of First Presbyterian Church in Chattanooga for over 15 years. Having been introduced to the Yakama Indian Reservation through a number of short term mission trips, we began to reflect on what we believed was God’s call to join the work of Sacred Road Ministry on the reservation. After meeting with pastors, elders, the board of Sacred Road and successfully completing Mission to the World’s Readiness Evaluation - we are now convinced of God’s leading our family to be part of the team in Washington.

Chuck has worked for 15 years as a graphic artist and web designer while serving as a deacon since 1999. Neena has taught elementary school for almost 18 years and has served with the World Missions Committee from 2003 to present. In September of 2003, the Lord blessed us with our precious daughter, Asha. (Asha is the Hindi word for hope - an acknowledgement of Neena’s ancestry in India and Pakistan.)

We hope to join Chris and Mary Granberry and their children on the Reservation by the summer of 2008. The immediate goal of Sacred Road is to see a PCA church planted in the impoverished community of White Swan. We hope to help the outreach and ministry of this church through after-school programs, establishing a Christian school and youth ministry for teenagers. Please prayerfully consider supporting us by praying for us regularly and giving financially. God Bless!
