One More Day before we GO to Serve our Lord in Alaska

WOW after nearly a year of preparation, the Lord has assemble His team to carry out His mission in the Alaskan Wilderness!  On Friday June 5th, 12 men of God from Christ Community Church will depart for Kokrine Hills Bible Camp located on the banks of the Yukon River in Alaska.  
I tell you these last 10 months have been completely exhilarating.  From the project planning to assembling a team, to materials delivery, to Spiritual growth, through personal hardships within our team, to finally getting ready to leave on Friday, this 12 man team has answered the Lord's calling and is ready to GO and see lives changed for Jesus.  It is my honor not only to lead this outstanding  team on men to Alaska, but to call each of them my Brother.  Chuck, Nate, Marty, Dan, Daniel, David, JR, Bob, Lou, Joe, and Chaun I look forward to our time together at the airports, on the boat ride and at the camp.  We are all in for an incredible experience this coming week.  Not only will we be working together side by side, we will be growing in spiritual maturity and bonding as friend and Brothers in Christ.  
As I have said before, think about why you were called to Alaska and reflect on that in the last few hours before we leave.  God will reveal to  you why He called you --  all you have to do is remember to be still and listen for God's voice.  
To our families, CCC church family and friends, thank you for you prayer, love, and support.  Please continue to pray for this team, our families at home, and the Native Alaskan children who will attend the Kokrine Hills Bible Camp this summer.  May they come to know Jesus and their lives be forever changed.  
Serving Christ, Mark
