Let me highlight some of the blessings from the past year.
One of my main joys was watching my children lead a program where they shared the gospel through engaging Bible lessons and lively puppet shows at the two camps.
More than a month ago (mid-October), my sister, Lael, and I went on a missions trip with Child Evangelism Fellowship to Seldovia, Alaska. Seldovia, a small town across Katchemak Bay from Homer, is not connected to the road system. You can only get there by boat or plane (or hiking for a few days, I guess 😉).
