It is exciting to know and see that we are in the Lord's plans as He has revealed them to us.
We were gone 6 weeks traveling to Alaska to bring supplies and Audio Bibles to our missionary partners that had lived in Africa and are now in Alaska. Some Audio Bibles will be brought into the prison near Anchorage. This was the first partnership in Alaska.
Keith helped with an airplane hangar and I encouraged the missionaries. Keith also worked on a bulldozer to help the missionary. Daily life in Alaska can be challenging. We traveled in our Jeep and small travel trailer a total of 10,000 miles plus. The supplies were greatly appreciated.
It was amazing how the Lord prompted me to take addresses to some churches in Alaska. So when we were near one of them I sensed very strongly that we were to stop and introduce ourselves. We ended up meeting a couple that are both ministers with contacts and ministry that can be helped with the use of some Audio Bibles. Native Alaskans have several different languages. Not everyone in the villages speaks English. Not everyone necessarily reads. We were told they would get back to us after their friend an Alaskan State Trooper gets back from his assignment in the villages in about three weeks. They can then tell us what the language is that we need to get in Audio form on the Audio Bibles. We are sending the Wildlife animals with the Audio Bibles and Bible stories in a small pouch to them to use with children that have been in crisis . This is the second partnership and the unknown thing that the Lord was to show us. We always pray for God to give us the opportunities and the connections He has planned. Now we will be sending Audio Bibles to Alaska for a State Trooper to take out into the villages.
The third connection and partnership is still being established. The missionaries will inform us what languages are needed in the Audio Bibles that will be flown up to the villages near the Arctic Circle and the Brooks range of mountains. Every Summer about 13 airplanes pick up children from the villages and take them to Christian Summer Camp for a week. We are planning on sending Audio Bibles with them. The children will then be witnesses of Christ with the Audio Bibles back in their villages. This is a prayer request to have this all come together as the Lord plans.
That's the exciting news and the Lord is yet to reveal more.
It is exciting to report more Audio Bibles and Wildlife animals with the Audio Bibles in their pouches were sent to Sierra Leone and Liberia Africa.
In His Plans,
