Our Beloved Church

Alaska was quite good to us over the last three years, but Sunday was our last day there! We so enjoyed our time in Alaska and we made many, many friends who I'm certain we'll see again; some who are civilians and some who are military.

Many of you know our love for the church we found the second Sunday we were in Alaska. The church is quite different today than when we first stepped through it's doors three years ago. Sunday, before we began our journey out of Alaska, the minister called Tyler and I to the alter to pray for us as we are being "sent out" to do missions in our great world.



The minister and elders of the church really saw Tyler and I as a sign from God that the church was going to reach military and young couples in the community -- something they had been faithfully praying for. We walked into a church of 30ish-people three years ago and left a church of 400ish on Sunday. It is incredibly humbling to think that God used us to reach a certain population in the Eagle River/Anchorage community without us even knowing how we were being used.

ACF: We are thankful for you, and we will continue to follow your good works in Eagle River! We are excited to see how you will continue to change the community around you.

 Caroline received an ACF Staff lanyard as a gift on Sunday.
