We’ve made it to Alaska!

The weather has been a crisp 40–59°F, and the sun is currently rising around 4:50 AM, setting around 11:00 PM, and staying up longer each day—just one of the many reminders that this is a unique and special place. (And Mountains!)

Our hearts are full of excitement and anticipation for all God will do in and through this team during the season ahead.

We’re incredibly thankful for:

• Enough host families to house all 40 of our team members and coaches—what a blessing!

• A fantastic meeting with our board and the incredible support and involvement from the local community.

Would you pray with us?

• For safe and smooth travel for everyone making their way up here over the next two weeks

• For all the final preparations to come together before the full team arrives
