We worked a half day this morning and then said our goodbyes and thank you to the team of volunteers who have led us so well. They have been our example this week, of loving, and sacrificial servants who give of themselves selflessly and know that relationship matters more than the task at hand. We have been blessed.
After lunch the student ambassadors joined us on a trip to Homer. We visited Light on the Hill and the Wilkinson’s, the site of our 3rd Alaska short term mission team in late August. Then we spent a little time on the spit followed by dinner together.
We were blessed again by gorgeous weather, time to share our stories and great fish to eat.
After we returned home we each shared 1-2 things that has been important for us this week. When it was my turn to share my praises were:
1- Alaska Christian College is a place where students are committing their lives to Christ. Nothing matters more.
2- ACC is a place where students are supported and growing in their relationship with Christ.
3- Our team was known here by our love. That was my biggest goal for them. And they got a lot done!
I could not have asked for a better first experience with a short-term team, in Alaska. It is what Pastor Mike described when he set a vision for a regional location that our whole church could go to. I’m returning home to Sunset excited to see what God has in store for our church as we minister with the Ristow family and Alaska Christian College in the years to come. Thanks for following our journey. Please invite us to share our stories with you.
We return at PDX at 7:55pm Saturday night on a direct flight from Anchorage.
See you in church Sunday! Janet for the ACC June team
