Every Thursday morning Dennis has breakfast with some local pastors and missionaries in the community. Some of the them minister in Anchorage and others to the native Alaskan villages. Don and I were able to come along and it was very informative to hear about the ministry to the native villagers. The guys educated us on the native culture, history, and the most effective ways to minister to them. I was overwhelmed with how much ministry there is to the villages. Alaska is so big (like 3 or 4 times bigger than Texas) with tons of native villages that you have to fly to get there. It was an eye opening experience and also encouraging to hear what these guys are doing to reach the native Alaskan villagers.
After doing some office work and preparing for ministry next week most of the day about 20 high school and college kids came over for our "Jesus Night." We spent about 2-3 hours wrestling with questions they had, challenging them to live boldly for Christ, and then spent some time singing songs and worshipping. We met a lot of awesome kids today and I hope that God does some amazing things with them. I am going to try to catch up on some sleep tonight because tomorrow night it is time to fly back to Ohio.
