The summer of water

Hi everyone. We have an update for you here and we apologize for not keeping our site as updated as we would like. We have had a summer of odd things. We are very busy with the radio station and getting ready for some flying and aircraft work. Please continue to keep us in your prayers as you pray for missions around the world. We had major flooding in Nenana this week. Here are some pictures of that. Not to good. No loss of life but significant property damage to many.

Ambers birthday was today, Friday the 8th and she turned.... (gulp) 13. How did that get here so fast? and on the 25th Tyler turns 10. Wow, we can't get over the time.

We are sending out our first prayer letter of this year and it has been a major year for us in our service here in Alaska. God has carried us thru, much like the God tube video that you should watch that I have linked for you. He is this way for all of us. Boy, I'm glad my redeemer Lives!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for your prayers and support and love. It's very hard most of the time here, and we have learned so many things sometimes it feels like we are just being pushed along by God. We are!!! Please continue to keep us in your prayer and look for the prayer letter next week or so.

You can all ways call, write or email us.

Jesus is comming soon!!!!!

Read Ephesians Today

Hi to all of our friends and family. It seems as though only one update per month is about all I can do right now. We have not sent out a recent news letter for many reasons. Our next one will be sent out after June 15th. This will detail the next phase of our missionary service to our Lord Jesus, here in Alaska. Things are looking very busy and very positive. Please pray that the Lords will and work be done. 

He is our everything. It is so incredible to watch His work being done and to be a part of it in this far north land. We thank you all for you financial support and your earnest prayers. Please continue to pray for us and this ministry here in Alaska. The enemy in in overdrive-overtime trying to dismantle everything. It is only God's power and by His will that we are able to serve. HE MUST INCREASE and we must decrease. Please pray for us as we seek Him and His will for more opportunities and guidance. The needs here are plenty and so much goes unfullfilled. Please also pray for the other staff and families here trying the best in the knowledge and grace of God to serve Him. We really need prayer. We are praying for you all every day. We spend many times a day together as a family talking, and praying and listening to God. He is Good. We hope you all are doing well. Please feel free to call or write us or email any time.

Thank you, again, so much for your prayers and support. We look forward to sending out our next prayer letter in a few weeks from now. Till HE returns-

Your best life...WHEN?!?!?!?

Hello everyone. We ARE still alive. We have alot to share and will be doing so in the next few days. Most of our East coast family and friends are asleep so you will see this on Thursday. Get ready to do some reading. Thank you for you prayers and support. We are in a battle...and so are you.

Our hearts are stirred!! Are you seeing the same things we are? What is going on? We ALL should be in heartfelt, weeping prayer for this country and for the Church. I will be mentioning many things in my upcoming weblog. We're like the old dog here, you know, when the dog cocks over her head back and forth as when they are trying to figure out what you are saying to them. We feel the same way.

 Oh, by the way. This is our dog, Tipper... who was hit by the Alaska train... and lived to "bark" about it. More on that later.

And here is one to leave you on...

Makes me wonder, how about you?

Think about it

Please keep praying

Hi dear friends and family. It's been a few weeks since an update and I want to let you know that we are thinking of you all and praying for you all back there daily. We have really increased our family time in prayer and reading aloud the Bible as it's the only thing that sustains us. You too! It's just awesome to know that God Himself is that interested in our daily activities and He is more than willing to give us what we need to do His job. However, just as scripture tells us, we are in a raging spiritual battle and we feel it and see it. Please pray for us as the enemy lurks and tries to tear us down and scare us.

Just a quick update of what we have been up too the last few weeks. RADIO-RADIO-RADIO!! I'm doing lots of radio. I'm still amazed to realize that God has given me a microphone to talk to most of Alaska about Jesus. What an awesome thing. I take that very seriously, even though I'm having to learn the old fasion way of just getting in there and doing it. God's word is going out to the villages and they are receiving it.

I've been having to cut lots of fire wood. Our car's alternator died and I had to replace that as well as our main computer died the next day. The hard drive crashed and mother board has gone bad. What a wonderful ordeal.  We have adopted a phrase from our dear-dear friend Marilyn McCaul when these things keep happening... "whatever".

It seems to make us feel alot better when you just say that, know that God truely IS in control, the devil keeps on trying to drive us away, everything keeps breaking at a rapid pace, it's cold, we miss home at times, hey... "whatever" !! We just pray and thank God for what we do have that works, what He has done for us, what He is doing and we just keep showing up for service. Eternity is what matters, not broken things here on earth.

Keep that in mind as things break for you and don't go your way. It gets us all down from time to time, but He knows and cares and always is there to help. He really is.

Of course this is why I have no pictures to put on our page since they were all on the hard drive. Whatever.

We'll just have to take more!!!! Please keep us in your prayer time as you all are always in ours. And thank you so much for your support and love.

In the battle up north-

Billy
