Thank you Lord..... Just Thank You

Well, after leaving Nome and being away for a few days now..... My heart is aching to be with my kids again. It is aching to be with the people of Western alaska! As many of you know, I am headed back to AZ for my best friends wedding this Saturday, and I am so excited for her and her fiancé. But, right after the wedding I am flying straight back to Alaska and getting on another plane to go back to Nome. From there I will fly to the village of Gambell on Saint Lawrence Island. Please pray for the people there. The people group on that island are Siberian Yupík Eskimos, an they are absolutely incredible people. Please pray tht their hears be softened and that they are receptive to the Gospel message. 

 The Population of Gambell is about 700, and their village sits about 35 miles from Russia, and 18 mile from the international dateline. These people are in total isolation, and with that isolation comes tough living and sustaining circumstances. Pray hard for the children that call this village home. Pray that any alcoholism or drug abuse going on is wiped away by the hand of our Lord. Please pray that these people will come to know Jesus as their savior and redeemer. Pray that try understand an fully grasp that they are special and worthy and beautiful in the eyes of our Father. Pray that they feel loved and accepted by us, but that they realize that that love and acceptance is coming straight from Jesus. And pray that our Lord is vividly seen in this village! amen...

I love you all so much, God is moving mountains. He is opening doors and showin me His creation. 

OVER AND OVER again, God reminds me about what ministry is really about. It is about love. It is about compassion. And most of all, it is discipleship. You ALL, no matter who you are, are missionaries under His great commission. You ALL are told to share who He is through your lives!!! So Do It!!! Don't wait around for others to, share Him! Think about this, ...... After you accept The Lord and make a decision to love for Him, you take on the responsibility of being His ambassador: ALL OF THE TIME. But, do your actions, words, and Love accurately express our Lord? 

Are You Unable to answer "yes" to this question? Because the fact of the matter is, we will NEVER be able to answer yes to this question, we will only be able to constantly realize the lengths to which we must go to make His name great! We realize just how urgent and important it is to share the good news of Jesus! And because we are ambassadors for Him, We MUST live a life worthy of the calling He has placed upon our hearts! Why should our lives be full of hate or distrust or anger if the God of all creation has already cleared our path!?!?! We should be showing others who have yet to see that cleared path, the amazing journey that is ahead if they follow Jesus!!!!!! Through His people, He will be heard. And through His people, He will be seen...


The Church in Nome is doing great, and Aaron, the pastor, is actually currently with me here in Anchorage. I picked Him up today front the airport in order to assist him with some city business. Please keep praying for Nome! Pray for the people of the entire region! For All of western Alaska! 

I love you guys, I miss you, and I pray that God is moving mountains in your life! And of it doesn't seem like He is......He is!

As always, let's know how ican pray or you! <3
