The Beauty of Alaska

This picture is amazing isn't it. It is the cliff near Savoonga, St. Lawrence Island. I hope that when you read this blog that God has blessed your day some how. I have just listened to my Cowboys beat the Colts. Needless to say, I am a bit happy. We hit the ground running hear. After we completed our training and two months on St. Lawrence, we started working. We are spending the month of Novemeber in daily staff meetings and then base work duties. We are spending time seeking the Lord for direction for different ministry opportunities. Besides returning to St. Lawrence, possibly as soon as January or Febuary, we are looking at opportunities on Kodiak Island. We have a First Nations DTS starting the first of January. YWAM Arctic Mercy is really growing fast and being blessed by the Lord daily.
Sherri and the kids and I are doing well. Josh is working hard home schooling. This is a tough new adventure for us and Josh, but he is still making A's and B's. The girls are really having fun with the snow. We will be returning to Texas for most of December and are looking forward to seeing friends and family. We ask that you really keep us in your prayers for spiritual growth, safe travel. We continue to ask for prayer warriors to keep us lifted up and ask for you to pray and seek the Lord about joining our ministry in some fashion. God Bless you. Kevin

God is so good!

As we returned home from St. Lawrence Island last Saturday morning, God showed us the Northern Lights. It was the first appearance of the lights this winter. I think it was his way of telling us well done on the island. Well as our week went on, Sherri and I returned to our normal way of life. We had a little personal meeting and returned to tithing and giving a little monthly support to a friend of ours in the mission field. Well within 24 hours of that committment, we were informed of a church back home that wants to meet with us about support when we return home in Decemeber. We were informed by the lady that owns the B&B we were going to Saturday night, alone, that she wasn't going to charge us. A lady from a church here in Homer walked into our building and met with Sherri for 45 mins, unexpectedly, and gave us a support check from her and her husband. Then to end the week off, we recieved some more good news from two other friends who support us. All of this because we are being faithful and committed to serving Him. That's all He asks of us, to be committed to Him and what he asks us to do and serve Him. God blesses us everyday in some form or another. Sometimes we may not notice it, but He is always faithful to us. Stay committed to Him in pursuing the calling on your life, because He is so committted to you. God Bless you all. Kev
