It is so awesome to see the Lord work in the lives of people as they
come here and encounter so many things that are out of their normal life
experience. To us it all now pretty
common place but to watch the thoughts bounce around in the minds of people as
they fly out of the city life of Anchorage to the little village of Port
Alsworth then take the boat ride across Lake Clark to our place it is all very un-normal.
As the first few days of jet lag, transitions, and adjustments pass the days that
come after those are precious, sometimes, life changing. The Lord enters into that space and people are able to really listen to God speaking as we
interact around his Word and in the unique community that begins to take shape
as men and women open up about their lives.

And…its fun. We get
to go places and do things that are amazing adventures.
Julie is coming back this afternoon with the girls after
being out for a three day trip. I know
they will come back tired and a little wet from the soaking rains, but I also know they will come back
having a trust that only being in the wilderness together can bring. Its
fun…it's exhilarating, its exhausting…it’s a complete privilege to seek the Lord as He works in the
hearts of people.  |
| Zach's birthday fish |
As Julie has been gone the past few days with Kaitlyn, Josh and Sam are working as activity counselors at the Bible Camp in Port Alsworth this week leaving me lots of time with just Zach. Its been fun to read to him a lot and to take him fishing as much, well almost as much, as he wanted to go. I get to take lots of people fishing but he is by far my second favorite fishing partner. And he is a really good fisherman, maybe the best in the family.
We leave to go to Cru Staff Conf. in CO in a few days. Excited to see our staff, really bummed to be leaving after just getting here. The good news is that we get to come back this time!
