We will be unavailable for a couple days. We are heading up the river until Wednesday afternoon. What an adventure this could be. This morning the three of us along with two guys from here will be going north and getting the spot ready. Then in the early evening three boat loads will come up with the kids. There will be some adults coming with them. We hope :-)
The kids are soooo excited about this. It's all they can talk about. And, I can imagine what a treat this is for them. It would be much like a kid back home going to summer camp, but even greater here because there is nothing for these kids back in Togiak. I'm not sure what we will be doing the entire time up there, but I'm sure God will show up in wonderful way. Be praying that these kids would get flooded with the Amazing Love of God.
The Spirit is moving in the lives of these people. Yesterday one of the guys came to the three of us and wanted to repent of some sins he had been involved. We spent some time with him and I am convinced God is delivering him. He was a different guy from the morning to the evening. Then last night after our time with the church people we gave them the gifts we brought. They loved them - maple syrup, honey, cups, and other stuff. Well, one of the ladies who sometimes comes wasn't there and she heard about the honey and syrup. She came over late last night to get them. She has been staying pretty distant because she is a little back slidden. At 4 am she called Marian and was overwhelmed by the conviction of the Spirit. She repented and is ready to get her life back on track with Jesus. Wow!!!
The camp is named Ngoo wha dah lik which means "Where There is Life." It comes from a song that also says there will be streams of living water flowing from them. We have to go now and get ready. Please pray for the kids, for our safety, for God to move, for good weather. It would be nice to have a little sunshine. The last 3 days, the weather has been raining and in the 40's. We love you and will hopefully be back in touch on Wednesday. We should be back in Togiak in the afternoon sometime.
Every time I pray-I see a picture of a white Dove. I know it symbolizes peace.. But further study also implied God's deliverance and forgiveness. I saw (in my mind) this beautiful white dove flying over the camp site area. In this vision it felt like this white dove had always been there but no one seemed to realize or notice it until it flew into the air from out of a clearing. To all those at Togiak, Alaska... I felt the Holy Spirit impress on me to share this vision with you and tell you Praise Fellowship loves you. Hugs from US to YOU !!!
