This past summer, a group of guys from Cornerstone Baptist Church took a mission trip to Alaska (see previous blog "Fishing with a mission: Combat style"). We had a blast while there. One of the main reasons that our trip was such a success was because of the fearless crew that made things happen: Brenda Crim, Charlie Parnell and Spring Pungowiyi. They spend hours preparing, praying, planning, searching, and digging through life to make sure that people of Alaska are able to hear about Jesus Christ. These hard-core, devoted Christ followers are always on the move and thinking of intentional ways to introduce people to their best friend Jesus. I just got an email from Brenda that confirms that they are still hard at it. They just got back from an area in the Arctic looking for a location to build a youth camp. Just imagine a place where 200-500 Alaskan native children could come and learn about the risen savior. They asked all that could to please pray for the provision of the land to build the camp, for the teams of people that it would take to build the cabins and the children that will one day come to this place. Keep Benda and her team in prayer as they continue to keep their nose to the ground like an old coon dog sniffing out new ground and new ways to reach people with the gospel.
Oh, yea - while they were there they did put the smack down on a few caribou and Brenda smacked a bull moose. It can't get much better than that. Sounds like a great place for a camp to me!
