Tuesday we were blessed with rain, but we headed to town and prayed it would clear which it did. The first stop was Wasilla, and we split into 3 groups for an ATL (Ask the Lord). Make sure you ask what the Lord did because there are so many God stories from here and from the ATL we did later that day in Anchorage. It seemed one team was to be an encouragement for so many, one blessed people with spreading joy to others, and one was on a mission for the homeless. We dropped back by Ship Creek for a stroll looking at the salmon running, what few were there. Van time is even fun with this group. Last night we spent almost 3 hours just sharing what the Lord did that day. What a blessing to hear from the Lord!
Today the AM rain changed our plans but God provided. One of the churches we attended Sunday needed VBS help so most of the team decorated and built a stage. By the end of the day the church was becoming an Amazon Jungle and they were very appreciative. BJ, Evan, Carson, Jason, Jordan, and John had a “man day” where we did some wood work carrying firewood, logs, and limbs in the AM and stacking over 5 cords of firewood (that’s alot) for the local pastor. Looking forward to a good debrief, and one last good long day.
