God knows who should be here, and is already preparing those groups. We have one that is booked for next summer and 3 more potential slots. Begin to pray for our 2018 Doulas Groups. Pray for Raylee as she starts Kindergarten every day and Skyler as she stays home and "babysits" me.ģ. That we would be listening to God in what we do and have an impact on the kids we get to work with for the 7 years they are in our youth group.Ģ. Please pray for our family as we start up a different kind of craziness then summer holds.ġ. Aaron has switched back to his schedule of 2 days a week at camp and the rest at church and we are getting ready to kick off youth group again.

leaves are getting yellow and red hues and Raylee started Kindergarten already. Yes I said Fall, it is here in Alaska already. = more kids heard about Christ this summer at camp. But we had more campers this year then the past few year. Camp this year was only 5 weeks (down from more weeks in past years, helps us conserve resources and fill up camps better). There were numerous decisions made to follow Christ and re commitments of many kids to follow Christ. Summer camp still happened this summer at Victory, Aaron's new roles mean that he is not a part of the day to day that is summer programs at Victory, but we did get to observe how God was working from a distance.

MILLPORT MENNONITE CHURCH UPDATE
This is a brief update on our summer and lives, but many other things happened at camp this year as well. And that overall impact is what the true goal of our ministries is. Not only did these youth impact the operations at this camp, I know many of them grew closer in their relationship with God, the Creator of everything, while they were here. The end of group 2 with Zion Reformed next to the massive wood pile of cut, chopped and split wood. So much work that we are thankful for the young willing youth that was able to give to camp this summer! These groups did a lot around camp, and were such a blessing! They Cut and stacked numerous cords of woods for our wood boiler, did a lot of brush clean up around camp, helped in the kitchen, painted conex buildings at church, cleaned buildings. Aaron's program is centered around servant leadership, and we worked hard all day, then Aaron spends time each evening sharing from God's word with them, and showing them our community. We had a great time as we shared Alaska with these teams of youth. Zion Reformed Church and Covenant Community Church. This Summer Aaron still lead the Doulas Groups as well.

It's been fun to see how excited he can get over buying paper towels & toilet paper□. He has since made a many changes to who we buy from, what products we use, and how we get them to save camp thousands of dollars. He is good with numbers and has always enjoyed figuring out how he can save a few bucks, so he tackled camps purchasing head on. But now not only is Aaron picking up the items that camp needs, but he is also in charge of purchasing it.
MILLPORT MENNONITE CHURCH DRIVER
In the past he has often done town runs to pick up stuff camp needs (all groceries, maintenance, housekeeping, gift shop stuff gets picked up on a weekly town trip, and he has often been the driver for that the past few years). In January Aaron got asked to help with the purchasing at camp. But currently he is in an even newer role for him. He has helped in numerous side jobs as well, from kitchen help, Gift shop designer and project manager, housekeeping, and other day to day jobs that come up when he is needed. Aaron has served in numerous roles during that time, and if you have been following our journey you know that he has been a site director at summer camps, a lifeguard, Program director, and now Doulas coordinator. Last May marked the end of Aaron and I's 9th year serving at Victory Bible Camp as year round staff. But sometimes for my own selfish reasons, I wish God would stop calling people once they are serving here in Alaska, and that they would stay here forever.Īnyways, I opened this blog to give you an update on our summer/year! As I look at who my page is subscribed to I see many pages just like this one of people we have served alongside these past 9+ years and relationships we have had and miss many of the people that God has used here at Victory for a season and is now continuing to use in other places all over the United States.
