Things are done a bit differently
here in “the Bush”. We’re getting ready for a busy, exciting next couple of
weeks. In fact, in just a few days we’re going to be having our “District”
Youth Rally here in Naknek. I say “district”, because that’s a familiar term
for us AFLC-ers, but maybe I should say Bristol Bay and Beyond Youth Retreat or
something! :) Things are done a bit differently here. This Friday, if you are thinking of us,
please pray for this retreat! Not only will we have about 30 kids from this
area, but there will be several flights, using several different aircraft;
flying to at least 5 villages. (Last year we had 80 youth; more than half of
which were “non-locals”!) We have been so blessed the last few year with good
weather for flying and even decent weather last year to have a beach bonfire. Please
pray for good weather that weekend. Also, many of the youth who attend are not
church goers and even some come from villages that are pretty closed off to
Christians. There are many villages in AK that have a strong Russian Orthodox
pull. Pray that the things they hear will “stick.” Pray for food planning and
prep to go smoothly. Also, that God would give the chaperones/leaders the words
to say and ways to reach out to them.
Immediately following the Retreat,
our family heads down to Washington for a month. Jeremy and two Mission
Aviation Training Academy (MATA) will be flying the Cherokee 6 from Anchorage
to WA. Prayers for safety and smooth border crossing is appreciated. The
Cherokee 6 engine will be getting an engine overhaul and other things worked on
it. The engine will actually be sent to ND. Things are done a little
differently here.
Serving the Lord with gladness,
Crowells
