ALASKA

Although we have been away for many years, Alaska still feels like home.   When we return for a visit, we are in awe of God's majestic beauty found here in Alaska. As we drove to my dad's home this weekend,  the beauty of the snow capped mountains left us breathless.  


Another highlight has been visiting with our families.  Being several thousand miles apart, we rarely see our sisters, nephews and nieces.  It brings joy to our hearts to be with them!!!! :-)

Jim had the privilege of preaching at Kenai Lake Baptist church which is nestled between an emerald green lake and a towering mountain peak.  We've also been meeting with individuals and church leaders to share the vision of our strategic ministry of equipping pastors and leaders in Latin America.  We're convinced God has provided us with sovereign appointments which will help advance God's kingdom work.  This trip has reminded us of God's awesome, creative wonders as well as His wonderful, sovereign wisdom.

While riding bicycles through a local park, we came upon this mama moose and her little calf. We were able to watch them for several minutes while we waited for the baby to join the mother.  With mama on one side of the path, and baby on the other, we didn't dare ride between them for fear of being charged.
