We're Back!!!

Sorry it has taken me so long to write. I have been trying several days and am having problems uploading a photograph on the page. Also, our internet service has been in and out. Well, on to the important stuff. We returned from St. Lawrence Island on 10/28 at 4am. I was an amazing trip. The kids were awesome. You would never have known that we were in a different place/culture. They made friends in both villages and had children coming by each day to play with them.

We stayed in each village, Savoonga & Gambell, for one month. Our residence was the Presbyterian Church in the village. In each place, our whole family was in one room. What an adjustment! In each village, we were able to have daily prayer/worship times, quiet time, and time with the people in the community. While in Savoonga, I was able to do a teaching on prayer. In Gambell, Kevin gave the message in church, once on discipline and the other on putting value in each other. In Gambell, I gave a talk about unforgiveness and how it affects our walk with the Lord. God has done some amazing things in our lives while we were gone. We have learned to listen to Him, trust in Him and most of all that love truly is the "greatest". That is how most of our ministry exploded, just loving the people and showing them value, which is one thing that they long for the most.

We are looking forward to our return to Texas and have so many stories to share. We want to thank all of you for your prayers and support - we wouldn't be doing the things that we are without God & your support.

God Bless

p.s. God really blessed our trip and ended it in the most amazing way. On our way home, we stopped by the side of the road at 1:30 in the morning and saw the Northern Lights. Who could see such a site and not believe in a higher power?
