Alaska Journeying

[Nome • Saturday 20 - Sunday 21] On Saturday, the guys took a trip to Teller... musk ox sighting, reindeer hunt, fishing and many hours of fellowship and discussion in the van with Pastor Bruce Landry of Nome Community Baptist Church. The girls spent the day at the local craft fair, meeting and ministering to the native crafters in Nome.  And best of all, we spent a few hours at the children's home with 12 beautiful kiddos that wanted nothing more than our love which we gladly poured out over them!  Sunday, we took part in the worship service at NCBC by sharing with the congregation all the mighty works God is doing through Kellan & Marlene, as well as our adventures at Camp Unity.  Also got asked by a few of the local gold miners that were present at the church service to come out and see their gold mining operations on the beach.

[Monday 22] We flew into Anchorage and are now driving to Kenai Peninsula.  Staying at First Baptist Church of Kenai to catch the end of Brenda Crimm's 'Salmon Frenzy' operation before heading home late Tuesday evening to Charlotte.  God's glorious creation around us is overwhelming and simply breathtaking!  Even spotted a young bear in the water while driving along the river, thank you Lord! 

    (Look closely to see the bear!)

{Psalm 19:1-6 GNT}  How clearly the sky reveals God's glory!  How plainly it shows what He has done!  Each day announces it to the following day; each night repeats it to the next.  No speech or words are used, no sound is heard; yet their message goes out to all the world and is heard to the ends of the earth.  God made a home in the sky for the sun; it comes out in the morning like a happy bridegroom, like an athlete eager to run a race.  It starts at one end of the sky and goes across to the other.  Nothing can hide from its heat.
