WEIO....WOW

What a great week we had. YWAM Arctic Mercy was asked or better yet, invited to assist a native ministry call Young Warriors at the World Eskimo and Indian Olympics this week. We spent the week serving the WEIO staff, as spotters in the event, floor helpers moving chairs, among many other duties. If you haven't ever seen anything like this before, it ain't like any Olympics we have ever seen. All of the event are taken from the culture, and are ways they prepared to succeed in the cold hard Arctic. Some of the events, were the two foot and one foot high kick, the Eskimo and Indian stick pulls, and many other strength events, that I could not even begin to compete in, except the four man carry. I carried four 150 lb. men, 30 feet, after the event was over. The winner, trained all year and carried his men 86 feet. The difference between his carry and mine, was that he walked away without a limp....and back pain. We were so blessed to serve and were really appreciated by the Native people that lead the event and competed. We can not wait to tell ya more later. Lord Bless You all, Kevin
