Just a quick update to say that all the Homer delagates to Hoonah Youth Councils made it home safe and sound. God was good to let the weather be good enough to catch the boat from Hoonah to Juneau, then the planes were good to fly in the weather, and the 4 hour drive home was safe all the way home.
The weekend was great. We had a chance to go door to door for a food drive and also ask for prayer requests, and of course had the opportunity to pray with many families right then. It was a good expereince for the young people.
The messages were focussed primariliy on the need to stay in the Word of God and fully connected to the body of Christ for support and accountability.
The best part of the weekend for me... was watching one of our young people step forward to acknowledge a call on her life, and then on the way home, this young person witnessed to the young woman next to her all the way back to Anchorage. I was sitting right behind her and got to hear her do a fantastic job!
Praise God for young people unashamed to tell the good news of our Savior Jesus Christ.
Live holy, preach Jesus!

Youth Councils in Hoonah
Hello Soldiers, friends, and fellow followers of Jesus,
Just a quick note that I will be leaving Thursday with 3 young people from our Corps for Youth Councils. This year it is being held on the Alaska South East Island of Hoonah. Please pray for traveling mercies as we will drive to Anchorage, spend the night, catch a plane in the morning to Juneau and then Ferry out to Hoonah. Sunday we will have a friend of the Army use their boat to get us back to catch the plane for Anchorage, and then drive home to Homer arriving about 2:00 a.m. so the young people can catch college courses and or jobs.
All in all we are expecting great things, but do covet your prayers for the event (and the travel). I am expecting God to really move in our young people and my prayer is that the Fire of the Holy Spirit would fall on us to sanctify us and empower us for evangelising the world.
Also pray we take advantage of the opportunities to witness throughout the travels and weekend.
Remember us in your prayers this weekend. Also pray for all the corps who will have a slightly different Sunday with C.O.'s, young people, musicians, teachers, etc. visiting Hoonah.
The blog should resume Tuesday Lord willing...
