I just wanted to post a link to a YouTube on some recent flying I have done around our great state of Alaska serving the servants of Christ ministering in very remote places.

I am leaving today with my wife, Sara and several others to serve in the kitchen at the Tanalian Bible Camp for their Spring conference this weekend.  I will also be doing some flying to bring conference attendees to the camp from their respective villages.  After returning home on Sunday I will turn around and leave on Monday for Galena which is on the Yukon river to take an interning couple here from Moody Aviation to serve with the pastor of the Galena Bible Church.  Hopefully I will also be able to stop and visit some other families we serve in that region.

Thank you for your prayers and support of our ministry encouraging pastors and missionaries serving in remote Alaska.

The current project in the hangar is an extensive annual inspection on our Piper Navajo Chieftain.  We do this to make our flying safer to make sure the plane is in airworthy condition.  With this being my primary responsibility I am quite busy keeping up with this inspection, there is a lot to keep track of on a plane of this size.  In addition I will be home with our children for a couple of days next week while Sara serves at one of Arctic Barnabas' ladies retreats as the "chef" along with Natalie.  I will be travelling to Port Alsworth, AK from 1/22-1/27 to assist the Tanalian Leadership Center (TLC) with a conference that deals with abuse and how to Biblically respond to abuse in ones own life as well as how to help others who have experienced abuse.  In rural Alaska abuse is a tremendous problem so this Biblically based program, "Hearts Going Towards Wellness" was developed specifically to help those who live and work here.  Jesus Christ is the only one who can heal the heart and this is what this weekend is geared to do.  Several friends from our community will be flying to Port Alsworth with me to help the kitchen to serve meals to the participants.  Additionally I will be flying to the surrounding communities to pickup conference participants and fly them into Port Alsworth.  I am thoroughly looking forward to coming alongside the staff of TLC during this conference.   You may click this link to view a short video of what TLC is doing to spread the Gospel.
