What a week....

well...we made it back home to Arkansas after an incredible week of life and ministry in Alaska....God had such a different plan in store for us than we did...just like HIM! it was so fun to keep in step with what He wanted for us instead of what we had 'envisioned'....He is good like that.

we had the blessing to work with scott, jerry, melissa, billy, and geri on the field in Alaska and they took GREAT care of us. we really fell in love with jerry, melissa, billy, and geri and their love for the village that we had the privilege of serving. these 2 retired couples have done anything but retire as they are serving this village and the people of Alaska with all they have. what an encouragement.

obviously from the pictures you can see the glory of God showing off everywhere we turned in this great land. what spectacular sites of God's power and splendor. thank you for these glimpses Father of your greatness!

here are some links to our facebook pictures for more glimpses into our week. thanks for being prayer warriors on our behalf. to God be the glory!

Team Alaska Update

sorry it's been a few days since we have been able to update. we left tuesday morning to head to the village that we have been ministering in for the past few days. it has been an incredible journey as God totally took us out of our comfort zone to see things and do things that we most likely never imagined doing when we boarded the plane Sunday afternoon.. seeing how He wanted to use us in His ways and His time has been interesting to say the least! the people of the village were so gracious and accepting of us. they were a joy to be with as we had the opportunity to minister through serving and worshiping with them! we will try to get some more pics up tomorrow. pray for us as we prepare to travel back home tomorrow evening!

Team Alaska Day One

Today has been a great day as we got some incredible sleep after a long day of flights! We were awakened by a home cooked breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, grits, and biscuits! After a time of orientation we headed out for a day of sightseeing. What a blessing to be able to enjoy the glory of God through experiencing His creation. We got to see some incredible snow capped mountains, glaciers, and animals. We also spent some time sliding on an ice covered lake and sliding down some hills. During all this time we were surrounded by the beauty of God's creation. Pray for safety as we travel and for the Gospel to go forward and for His Kingdom to be extended. Click to see pics of Day One! We will not have internet for a few days so our next update my not happen until Friday. Tanner says to tell his momma hi! :)

All of our flights went well and we are settling in now for the evening. Looking forward to a great day tomorrow as our schedule has changed a little bit. We will be doing sightseeing tomorrow and heading to out from Anchorage on Tuesday morning. Thanks for your prayers as we continue to seek what God has for us during these days! Much love from the great Northwest!
