If you are following our upcoming 4 family Mission trip to Stebbins Alaska, I have enclosed below an Itinerary as well some specific daily prayer requests. We will be updating as frequently as we can, but we do have some limited connectivity during this trip. Please be in prayer for our team as well as those who we will be living along side in Alaska. We are grateful and blessed to have so many interested in this trip. This trip is the first full family oriented trip and there are many uncertainties and concerns. We do however know that the safest place to be is in the center of Gods will... and so we GO!!
Yours In Christ,
