We traveled north of Anchorage to the cold city of Fairbanks.  The drive was beautiful and we were excited to finally meet Pastor Duffett and Bible Baptist Church.  Pastor Duffett and Bible Baptist were very instrumental in helping us contact other churches in Alaska and even provided a vehicle for us to use while we were in the state.  The church went above and beyond in their care for our family!   It was such a blessing to get to know them and the ministry in Fairbanks.   I was also excited to see a couple that had lived in New York and gone to our church in Eden!  The Days were faithful members of our home church for years before they moved to Alaska.  Once they moved to Fairbanks they saw a need for churches and started a church in a remote village west of Fairbanks.  It was wonderful to see how the Lord has used the Day family here in Alaska!  We also met some people from Capital City Baptist Church, where I went to church throughout all my years of college!  Seeing these people was amazing but then the Lord blessed us again and had us meet Brother O’Brien, the father of John O’Brien, missionary to Ukraine.  This is the family that Elizabeth visited on her missions trip to Ukraine in 2008.  Needless to say this was an exciting time for us and we greatly enjoyed meeting and reacquainting with these dear people!  The church graciously decided to partner with us financially and prayerfully.  We praise the Lord for all He has done!
