Prayer Request:
(8/7) Praise the Lord, I just got back home just a hour ago. I'm so blessed to know
that we have reached the Yukon Flat villages for Jesus and we do trust Jesus that He will take care of those that got saved
and those who were healed by Him. We had an awesome time in every village we went to and been a big blessing to
the local churches and their pastor and others who needed a touch by God, we were the guest of honor in every village. All
we had contact with, have welcomed us into their home and put us up or we decided to camp out by the church. We had a good
response with the kids, youth, and adults. Surely we were invited back again. They want us to stay longer next time and revival
in every village was awesome, God did it again in every village, we were just a vessel ready to be used by Him.
Afternoon workshop went well, we had arts & crafts, music, movies, beading,
moose skin sewing class, painting and good fellowship. We have outdoor activities. We learned how to cut fish, set out
fish net, kids and youth were swiming, cookout. We learned how to dry moosemeat, set up camp, boat ride. We had culture activities
almost every day.
We had a good team from the start, they all helped in every detail. We have all
gotten closer as brothers and sisters in the Lord, not one incident of division, we have all agreement from the start.I
even forgot I was in charge. It was so good. Ever since we went on Yukon River Crusade God put a team together that got along,
praise God. God is good.
I'll be having a closing Yukon River Crusade Revival at Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church
located at 3000 Peger Road, corner of Peger and Mitchell Expressway starting Thursday, Friday, and Sunday, 7:00 pm nightly
and I'll be preaching at Golden Heart Church on Sunday 1:00pm.
Let others know about these revivals. I'll be in Fairbanks on Tuesday.
You can reach me at brother Ken 458-save or 590-8072. Hope to see you there. I'll be checking my e-mail daily.
Let's prayer that God will send me down river and pray for boat for down river,
my 2 boats are too small for down river. God bless you all and big thank you for all your prayers and support.
(8/1) Praise the Lord, the Circle Revival was Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday.
We made it to Circle yesterday and spend the night on the way. We were driving in the dark, then it started
raining so we stopped at one of the fishcamp, but no one home. We had to ship lots of our equipment by airplane from Chalkyitsik.
When they heard that we were coming they started having potlatch (feast) we were day late, but they have potlatch every night.
Here in Circle, just as soon as we landed, elder Alice Carroll had moosehead soup waiting
for us. We are blessed all the
way because God is taking care of his children, thank you Jesus. Our Native people do whatever it takes to make
you feel comfortable. I would like to thank all of you for your prayer, keep praying for us we two nights left here
in Circle. I been inviting some of my friends here, I walked into their party yesterday and sang and prayed for them. God
showed up in the middle of a booze party and prayed for them, they had tears in their eyes and were so blessed by the
music and witness I did for them. One of my friend came up to me and told me I was sure doing good and then he said you do
fall back now and then and party little bit. I said no, he look at me and said, then you are a real Christian. I'm so
blessed, but still our Native people need help with alcohol, I know you heard it before, I guess know matter how much time
we heard it, it's still the truth. It's good to hear the truth. We want to go
downriver on the Yukon, but my two boats
are too small, they are made for Chandalar River and around the Yukon Flat, but downriver it's a big river, I've been down
there once, 2002. I travelled from Minto to Holy Cross, we were welcomed in all the villages. We had a blessing time, people
got touched by God in every village.
I'm trying to raise $6,000, for a new boat. Compeau's is willing to give me the boats for $600.00 down
and 155.00 a month for next four years. It's a beautiful boat it could carry three person and their gear and sound
system. It could handle 90 or 40 hp motor. Please pray about helping me get this boat and if you know anyone or church that
willing to help, please let them know.
God bless you and thank you again for all your prayer and support. Oh I forgot to mention one of the church
in Anchorage donated $800.00 towards the new boat already. They are willing to co-sign for the down payment.
Praise the Lord, our elder brother David Salmon is doing good, God is healing him and
touching him. We'll leave to Circle and have revival Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
We had revival at Assembly of God Church the previous Saturday, people really got touched
by God and one person really got touched and delivered from the devil. On Sunday we went down to St. Stephan Episcopal
Church and people were at the altar getting with God or God delivering them and God did something there. We had
church at Episcopal Church in Beaver and it was great encouraging word for those who came, we sang with them and
witnessed to them. We were able to comfort during both the funerals in Ft. Yukon and Beaver.
(Sun, July 23) We leave Beaver on Monday and camp out between here and Venetie.
I'll be in Venetie for revival starting Wednesday and Thursday on Friday leave to Chalkyitsik start revival on Saturday and
Sunday.
