Alaska - Day 5







"Men are never duly touched and impressed with a conviction of their insignificance, until they have contrasted themselves with the majesty of God." - RC Sproul

I thought I have seen God's majesty on this trip but today blew me away. We grabbed Dennis & Celesta's son Seth and headed up to Glacierview where Marlin Beachy lives. As we drove deeper into the mountains Don kept leaning out the passenger window to take pictures. It was about a 3 hour drive with all the stops we made.

Once we arrived at the Beachy's house they gave us a tour of the area. Then they decided to show us the Glacier and some other scenery. Marlin and Sharon (his wife) took us up to some of their land to see the view. We had to climb a small mountain to get there. This is when Don stated, "Black people are not meant to climb mountains, they are made to play basketball." The view was incredible.
After a excursion we made it back to the house and enjoyed some Alaskan Salmon. We spent the evening discussing the Glacierview area and the ministry there. We also were able to brainstorm some ideas for ministry next summer. Tommorow we will be sharing Off The Wall Ministry at Glacierview Bible Church and Don will be preaching. Tommorow evening we will head to a church plant of Glacierview and I will be preaching.
