Yesterday we were completely blessed. Roger took our team, along with the team from the Crossings at Birchwood (AK), the team from Howard Creek (NC), and Jessica from Abundant Life (OR) further down river to the village of Ruby. The teams headed out at 8:30 and docked at 10:30 - just in time for service. We walked to church (old school style). The church was established by the Arnold's back in the late 1950's. The Arnold's are also the same family of missionaries who established the camp back in 1964. God's Holy Spirit is most definitely in the Ruby Bible Church. We had a awesome service with about 12 Native Alaskan believers in Jesus. We sang songs, listened to a message from Psalm 19:7 - 9 and had a wonderful time fellowshiping and getting to the Church body. It was such a blessing to be able to begin a new relationship with a body of believers in the village of Ruby. I encourage each of you following to pray for this small church. Specifically they asked us to pray for a pastor to shepherd them and small out building for passing through missionaries and travlers to stay and use.
Our mission trip is off to a good start. God has so much in store for us this week.
