Great to see the Team USA Service Corps Team serving in Wrangell Alaska. May God bless your work and may you end with testimonies of changed lives and people coming to know Christ.

Alaskan Adventures
Jun. 22nd | No showers, no beds, no worries. We have lots and lots of coffee and craisins, and even more Jesus! We arrived in Wrangell and immediately began working. We talked with the Corps Officers about VBS that would convene the next morning and began planning out the day’s activities. What we thought was part of the USA, really is another country. Alaska is like Portland, OR on steroids. It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. Whenever we venture off to get a taste of glory in nature, someone always says “why does this look so fake?” Seriously, the beauty is surreal. I will never get used to seeing the 7 foot wingspan of a bald eagle fly twenty feet over my head. It gets dark here around 11pm and the sun is all the way up by 4am. We are all so tired by the end of the day that we really aren’t bothered by it. VBS was awesome. There were about 20 kids that attended the VBS. The last day of VBS we took the kids to the park in 50 degree weather where they all played water games in shorts and swim suits while the rest of us cheered them on in our doubled hoodies and pants. Then we all went back to the corps and camped out with s’mores and tents in the chapel. 20 kids came to VBS and 20 kids rededicated or for the first time gave their lives to Christ. It’s only been a little over a week and hearts are changing… Especially mine! After many VBS days, moose stew, and White king Salmon, we left Wrangell Sunday and arrived at Ketchikan in the evening. We caught the Ferry from Ketchikan to Klawock and the Salvation Army Community greeted us with a Salvo potluck and lots of love. One of the Elders named Jeff gave us a tour of the island and brought us out to a cemetery and to look at a handmade canoe that we are going to go on later this week. It’s only been one day in Klawock and I love it. People have opened up with us and shared their personal lives with us. I can’t wait to see what God is going to do with us and the Klawock community.
Signing off…
