God at Work in Alaska

This is a wonderful opportunity our dear friend and missionary in Alaska, Justin Vold, has this coming week, which he called me about this weekend.

Tomorrow, on Monday, he flies to a village mentioned below to share with ALL the young people of the village--the entire village are having their young people come to hear Justin share about Christ; after that, the young people from other villages are coming there as well for a basketball tournament on Sat. He has been asked to share with all the young people at the tournament as well. Below is his report of this.

Please pray for Justin this week regarding this God-sent opportunity. Just imagine if the city leaders of your town asked a true preacher of the gospel to come and speak to a gathering of all the young people in town? What an opportunity! Justin will be there all week, speaking and sharing Christ. He needs our prayers this week.

"I will be leaving Monday the 9th for the village of Kwigillingok. I have been invited by the Elders there to meet with their teens for 7 days to give them the Gospel. They have deep concerns for these youth as teen suicide, drugs, alcohol and increasing wickedness in the occult are on an alarming rise.

I feel for these Elders as I met with them in Bethel last week and my heart goes out to them. We are believing the Lord to meet with these young people as I share His Word with them. I will also have the opportunity to share the Gospel with several youth from other surrounding villages after a basketball tournament in Kwigillingok on Saturday the 14th."
