Shout-outs!

Posted on by

Greetings to all our readers! While we wrap up our fourth day of camp, we wanted to do some shout-outs from the students. This is a way for them to reach out to friends and family back home, and for you to “hear their voices” through a short message. 
Side note: WOW are these kids amazing. They are blowing the minds of all the leaders and making our hearts swell— we feel super blessed to be a part of this team! 

Hey guys!!! We are having so much fun here!!!! Miss you guys, can’t wait to see you Monday!!!! Love you, see you soon.  (Hug the puppers for me.)    -Alex

Meet the Team 2018: Ian!

Posted on by

 

My name is Ian. I am going to be a freshman in the fall. I am excited for the trip, and I am already packed. I packed light, packing only necessities and 540 marshmallows. Our team has been preparing for this trip for several months. We have several plans for what to do with the kids in Alaska and even more emergency activities. We plan on making smores. Of course, I am looking forward to not only helping in Alaska, but also seeing it. I hiked several canyons last year, so I am all ready to hike in the mountains.

Thanks for praying for us!

Ian

We made it!

Greetings from Alaska! Our team made it safe and sound. Praise God!
We had a smooth drive up to Minneapolis, had a quick dinner once we got through security…
And a smooth flight up to the land of the midnight sun! Speaking of, this photo was taken at the beginning of our final descent, around 10:30pm local time:
We are excited to wake up tomorrow morning at Eaglecrest, attend a church service in nearby Palmer, and begin our work serving the community! Much much more later.  Good night!
