Most days our goal is about getting the plane up and running. After an annual inspection by Josh and Ray, we are happy to report, the plane is fit for flying. All that is preventing this important part of the medical outreach program is for a local inspector to come to the base to clear [...]
Have you ever had to do something where you got so frustrated that you gave up and said to yourself it was impossible? Did you give up? Or did you continue pushing on through it to solve the problem? I’m sure we have all been there at some point in our lives. It’s far too [...]
Alaska in early March experienced the enduring pain of the frostbite of mid-winter, but the promise of Spring warmth is also in the air. Now with the rapidly advancing daylight (11 hours/day), and gaining more than 40 minutes a week, we know that in approximately 30 days the accumulated snow will be melting furiously at [...]

In the past, when Bruce and I were leading the Hobo Hill Worship Center, Sabbath was always a high day packed with activities to engage attendees and the community.

We have been planning for several months to fulfill an agreement to distribute essential protective equipment and cleaning supplies to 11 Interior Alaska remote villages. In late December we received the first shipment, consisting of approximately 4,000 lbs. This material was stored in the local ACS (Adventist Community Services) Warehouse pending receipt of the remaining [...]
For those of you who do not know, or have forgotten Tom, our Guyanese friend, Tom is an example of a changed life. He was 16 years old when he helped build our Learning Center. He was a young man who drank heavily and smoked, but he began attending church and quit all his vices. [...]
