Praise the Lord, yes I got home last month, and I just came back home from going down to Kenai and Palmer.

Yes we had a great time on the Yukon River. It was new a place for us and this trip was to meet new people and make connections for future church meetings. We started from Russian Mission to Alakanuc and we finished the Yukon River on July 7,07 (7-7-7) number of completion. Praise God.
We had about 6 services in villages but we're planning to go next year Lord willing if we get all the support we need.
We had good attendance in every service and at one
time as the crew got to the village, one young man was
ready to commit suicide on the banks of the Yukon River, but God got there on time. One of the crew members jumped in the water to get to the young man, they ministered to him and he gave his life over to Jesus and God delivered him and he been set free and Glory to God. It was like that in every village, but it was different in every village, mostly we did one to one ministry. We got so blessed by the kindness of every person we met. God send us brother and sister in the Lord to help meet other people. We never went hungry; people were there to fed us and give us a place to stay. But the people there need our help and support those who are struggling to serve God.
What stood out is the young people are looking for something new in their lives and others who are not yet elder are tired of the way it always been, they are looking and looking.people there are looking and we must give them something to find, they must find God before they find something else that would destroy them. That's where we come in and plant a seed of God. And that's what we did, we planted a seed in their heart, next thing is to water it, we need to go back. Praise the Lord we had awesome time in the Lord, while we were on the Yukon River. I started helping brother Mike Curtis and family back in 2002, we started in Eagle Village,now after 5 years we made it to the mouth of Yukon River. Praise God we gave all the glory to God. I like working in a village, where no one ever evangelize. I like helping out villages where we don't feel the Spirit Of God, where no one is jumping around or no one lifting up their hands or no one coming forward, or no one worshiping,that's the kind of village I like God to send me. I've been to villages like that, now they come forward for prayer and they're hungry for God and they ask me to come back again. When I'm in a village where we feel like God is not working, sometime it don't matter how I feel, God words never fail. I remember Psalm 34:18 (the Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit) you see as long as someone have a broken heart God is there.That's what keeps me going, relying on God's words more than what I feel or what anyone says about the villages.There's lots of work need to be done on the Yukon River villages, and it's not going to be done by brother Mike and I, it's going to take all of us to get it going and keep it going.So for next year we need your help.God bless you and thank you for all your prayer and support, Sorry it took me a while for this praise report.

July 20, 2007

Praise the Lord, I'm back home for week. If our ministry van is fixed, I'll be going to Lazy Mountain in Palmer July 28th and 29th. The New Life Ministry of Anchorage is having their summer music fest. Look for the posters in Carrs, Fred Meyer and other places.

Evangelist Mike Curtis, brothers Brad Baker and Ken Bailey, got back from the Yukon River yesterday. Praise God it was a every exciting time, ministering in new places. On this trip we made contacts and met leadership in the village making friends for future evangelism, Russian Mission, Alagunak, Emmonnak and family camp about 2 miles down the river from Emmonak. Let's pray for next years' Yukon River Revival.

After the Yukon River Revival, I went and joined my family at family camp in Sterling, we were there for the weekend. On sunday I made new contact in Kenai and Nikiski Christian Fellowship.

Evangelist Mike Curtis and I started Yukon River
Crusade back in 2002 in Eagle. After 5 years we got to
the mouth of the Yukon River. We finally did it, all of us together who helped with prayer and finance. We finished the Yukon River Crusade on 07/07/07. There is still lots of work that needs to be done on the Yukon River, we just got started so pray for us about next year.

God Bless You

Glory to God I'm back home and I'll be traveling to Fairbanks today and caught up with Mike Curtis down the Yukon River.

I was at Barrow June 15-18th. It was a powerful time, people came to the Lord and got saved, delivered, and filled with the Holy Ghost. It was good to see some friends that were delivered from heavy metal music year ago when I was there, and they are still going strong in the Lord. I've been ministering in Barrow for over seven years or so, I'm blessed to see some of them still going strong in the Lord.

I also sang a couple of songs during the blanket toss celebration. I made new friends while I was there. and hope to go back again soon.

I did a street ministering during the June 21 Solstice downtown Fairbanks. Also went to Village Voice and did live show on KJNP radio station 1170 AM.

Listen to my program every Saturday 9:45 pm which is aired before the Village Voice.

I also spoke at Golden Heart Church June 24th Sunday and they were a blessing to me. They bought me a sound system that I can use on Yukon River Crusade this summer. Praise God for them THANK YOU GOLDEN HEART CHURCH!

After church we went down to Nenana to see Mike Curtis and his team take off to downriver. I'll catch up with them up later. Please keep them in your prayers. Brother Ken call me from Tanana and getting ready to go to Holy Cross. Praise the Lord.

Yesterday Wednesday June 27, 2007 my wife was ordained into priesthood here in Venetie. Bishop MacDonald and others came to celebrate with us. I was so happy for my wife and that's the reason I couldn't make it with Mike Curtis. I need to be here to support my wife and her ministry and also Margo’s parents are here with us. I’m so blessed by them. Right now I'm getting ready to catch up with Mike Curtis and the team.

God bless you all and thank you for all your prayers and support. I'll be sending teaching soon, but don't wait for me, study the bible every day!

Thursday June 14, 2007

Praise the Lord, My wife and me are here in Fairbanks since Tuesday and spent some time Harding Lake ministering and counseling. I'm going again so keep
us in your prayers . It's been a blessing to see our Native people working together to find our loved ones who are still missing in the lake, oh it's a big lake, so they really need our prayers and support. We need donation for traditional food and you can donate whatever God puts on your heart. God bless you and here are some pictures of the camp they set up for searching.

God bless you all.

Margo and I will be in Fairbanks this Tuesday June 12. I've been working out to get in shape and ready to preach for the kingdom of God.

Sorry about the slow updates, the power has been going
off here in Venetie and I worked on the teaching for
about an hour and just when I was saving it, the power
went out and lost the whole teaching but I will try again today.

May 25, 2007

I've been to Nenana, Selawik, Kotzebue and Fairbanks and I'm so blessed in what God has done in people lives in this trip,
First it was a Nenana, Bishop Mark MacDonald farewell
potlatch it was moving of God at times.

April 28 I made it to Selawik and I left on May 2.
I thank God for elders who labor in the Lord work for
many years and they are the one who stand up against
alcohol for many of years, today they are still
carrying the message that alcohol kills.
Every night we had a revival and every night people came to altar to get saved, delivered and get filled with the Holy Ghost. Every night God presence was strong, we felt God every night, people start bringing their alcohol, drugs, young people start bringing their CD, DVD and tape to the cross, I was so bless as I was looking at young people move by God to do what needed to done in their live and to see as they testify and
worship God.

Two nights I preached on salvation and deliverance, and saw
backsliders coming back and asking for forgiveness and
some of them with tears in their eyes, singing and
worshipping God. I was totally overcome by God's presence
and I'm so blessed today I still feel it. Glory to
God, I'm a changed man. Thank you Jesus
The night before the vote I preached on the Holy Ghost and
how to be filled with the Holy Ghost, I tell you I've seen
elders and retired pastors coming forward to be filled
with the Holy Ghost and young people get touched by God
and those who been dry in the spirit were refilled with
the Spirit Of God. About 20 people got baptized in the
Holy Ghost, some of them spoke in tongues and others
didn't but it was plain that God really touched
them. Some were shaking under the power of God.

May 1 the village voted 150 to 73 and alcohol was
defeated. The church elders won, the church elders are
the ones who did everything possibly to defeat the vote
they paid my round trip ticket from Venetie to Selawik
They had 4 days of revival and had a big potlatch to
promote dry village and we prayed every night on our
knees. I told the church not to rejoice when they win the
election, but to show kindness and love to those who
lost the election so that way they will win them for
God and not be divided over a vote. I told them these
are the people who are family, relatives, and friends
who need Jesus in their lives and as the church we
need to love them into the kingdom of God.
It was a powerful time in the Lord. God bless you for
all your prayers and support for this trip
I spent one night in Kotzebue and it was powerful
there too and about 20 people came to the Lord, thank
you Jesus and the pastor want to return and he open
the door for me anytime. Thank you Jesus.
I got home on May 4th Went geese hunting May 11-15th, May 19th to 22 went to leadership meeting in Fairbanks, came home 23rd. I'm planning the Yukon River Crusade.

Right now I need your prayers and support. I'm still
praying for outboard motor and money for culture and
traditional activities. We need moose skin, sewing stuff
and arts and crafts. If the Lord moves on your heart to help please we need your help. Yukon River trip is coming up fast.
You can contact me here in Venetie (907) 849-8253 or if
you're in Fairbanks area or contact brother Ken Bailey
590-8072 or 458-7283
For bank to bank transition call Brother Ken
God bless you all

Praise the Lord, I'll be home for a while, I'm invited to Selawik to do presentation on Alcohol free community, please keep them in your prayers, they are voting on May 1. Llast year they voted their villages to be wet with alcohol, they are voting again this year and the church and elders are stepping out to stop it or voted it out last year they got beat by 11 votes. I'll be going there holding Revival April 28-30th. May 1 voting day , the church and elders are having potlatch, I'll be speaking there at the potlatch.

Praise God I had a awesome spiritual experience from all my revivals starting in Nenana from 30&31. It was a blessing there I haven't been to Nenana Assembly of God Church. Brother Len John and I did the revival there, not many villagers came, but we were blessed by the person that came every night and last night he got saved and delivered, we need to keep Nenana in prayer, the church needs lots of help and prayer but every night we got blessed by God and we learned from the Almighty every night, praise God for those who
came they been a great help to us. God bless them.

Sister Bev's funeral was held on April 2 & 3 and Tanacross April 4&5. I was so blessed by Tanacross, they are hungry for God, and I know if we continue praying for them, God will move on them, every night God visited us and blessed us, overnight the altar was full of people getting saved, delivered, filled with the spirit or just want more of God. Every night before revival the villager would have potlatch for us. Praise God for Tetlin, Northway, and Tok people and Tetlin youth group coming every night and being a blessing at the revival. We had a great time, I know people were blessed at Tanacross.

From there we went to Gulkana, oh I forgot to mention I like to thank brother Willie Salmon who joined me in Fairbanks, grandson of brother David Salmon. Keep him in your prayer. The Gulkana revival went well, last night the people got blessed, because one of their own, finally came to the lord,after many years of praying for her,she final came forward and she wept at the altar, as her own family gathered around her and lay hands on her and prayed for her, I see big tears
rolling down her cheek, I know that was real and I know
God touch her life she'll never be the same again. I
know lots of things happen in the Spirit that we might
not know about, but God knows, and that's what counts, we
just obey our calling and I know God will move on
peoples' hearts, that's been happening in the spirit, all
the time I was traveling I preach and teach on living
in the spirit. This winter travel is not like know it
used to be, it was different and God moved in the Spirit
more in my ministry than ever before, as I think back
on all the revivals, I was preaching on moving with the
Spirit or preaching on what God wants to do in the
spirit. I know when we preach on moving in the
spirit, God would show up and give us Spiritual
experience. That's what we need today more then ever
before.

***********************************************************************************

Praise the Lord, I'm doing good and been invited to a couple of place and I'll be Gulkana on April 6-9, but I'm also working and trying to fit in Nenana March 30-April 1 and I also be at Sister Bev funeral on the1st and celebration of life on April 2nd.

Then potbless at David Salmon Tribal hall after the celebration of life service for Sister Bev. Hope to see there, right now I'm looking for a place to preach on Wednesday. Keep that in your prayer. I been working around the house and hauling wood my dog Te'vee and I, he no help, but a good company all the way. I feel much better been working out and strive for losing weight. I think I lost little weight I feel it. Eating the right foods, it's hard to eat healthy, because all my life I eat junk food, now I'm eating healthy, it just like I'm not eating at all, I'm hungry all the time. I know that hunger is for junk food.So I keep my cool and not eat. I told my kids our junk food back in 1932 (I joke) 1960 is can of meatballs then in 70's is nothing but candy potato chips, and pop, I remember the day I first tasted hot dog is like eating ice cream for the first time.

Praise God let's get healthy for God this year, back then the elders of the flats were concern about junk food,I remember chalkyitsik outlaw junk food, and start selling sweetie pie, the girls called themselves the Chalkyitsik Sweetie Pies. They were concerned about this junk food, the elders knew it's not good, I know now even the elders we have today know what not to eat, so we should listen and ask them what good to eat.

Thank God for them and they are hungry for more, and thank God for David Friday and his wife they were a big part of me going there. They set up the revival and got me there and thank you for all the musicians they were a blessing, every day we practice and had a good time and thank God for all who came every night Praise the Lord, thank you to all of you who were in involved some way or another and thank you for all the love offering it was too much but I'm blessed by it, but then I have to leave to Anchorage for Fur Rondy revival. There too was like Bethel revival Holy Ghost would show up and touch people lives, and every night people would rush to altar to get saved or delivered or just want more of Jesus. One of the ladies saw a flame of fire coming down on us and another person who came in from the street, he told me suddenly he felt this wind coming and he told the wind blew right through him, he said he freaked out and the same time got so happy and blessed by God. I told to share it that night, he got up and shared with everyone got touched by it. It was like that every night. We start Friday 23rd-25th. Every night the place was full, no where to park, they call me on the phone no where to park, but second day they didn't care they just start parking anywhere.15 people got parking tickets, they didn't care they were hungry and last day was same way no parking, but this time no one got ticket thank you Jesus. Last day lots of street people show up, some of them became my friend and God sure touch them I'll see them again for sure. Sober and serving God see my two friends in the pictures. Oh God bless them, set them free that's why I'm there for these people, who were cast out or alcohol is killing them or just need a little push from someone who would love them and help them to come closer to Jesus. Thats why I spent all my ministry funds and my family sometime suffer, because I'm away from them. If one or more sober up and start living, it's worth it just like my brother Walter Tommy of Nenana, I pray for him year after year at downtown Fairbanks, he told me I cast out the devil from him, then 2 years later, he finally sober up and now he's in New Mexico going to arts school, check out his testimony on my webpage. That's why I'm doing it. If we work together we can help them, you can help by praying and supporting me as I do this outreach in the city. I'm planning a outreach in Fairbanks during North American dog race. Help me out. Oh for got to mention brother Willie and I sang at musicale. Well that was Fur rondy outreach and it was blessing. Then we went Tetlin little village near tok junction. we were there for 3 days march 2,3 & 4and it seem like it was going to be a slow the first night and but blessing the same time,we have a great fellowship and eat together and just fellowship sit around and just talk together, they are hungry for some good fellowship with others, God bless them with it. It was like every night, we pray for them and minister to them about keep pushing forward, don't look back. Brother Roy David and my good friend and brother James Wright was a blessing to us and others who were a big help to us. they are starting a new church and we need to pray for them or help them financially or just support them someway. God blessing on everyone and lets pray for North American dog race, during this time lots of drinking. Let's pray for them. I'll be planning to come to Fairbanks coming Tuesday, to do a North American dog race outreach, I need a place to have revival.

Today (2/28) I'll sharing at Ministry Without Walls at Arctic and International behind the restaurant that used to be call Phillips at 7:00 pm! Join Us!

March 4-6, 2007 Tanancross Revival Cancelled

Praise the Lord, I've been having problem getting on the internet last two days, I only have time in the morning to do Praise report and teaching.
We've been having a Holy Ghost blast at Days Inn Conference room. Every night is awesome, even the street people feel the wind of the Holy Ghost, one said he felt it going right through him, it started to blow and it blew right through him. It was awesome. One person got up and said she saw the fire of the God in that room. Every night we see people getting touched by our God. After the revival, we went to have a liitle fellowship. Brother Showwalter and Sister Grace Smith were there and she was saying that three young ladies got saved, that these three young ladies, would never listen to preaching, but that night God touched them as I was preaching under God's anointing, praise God, they have a changed live. Every night we see in front of our eyes what God is doing.

My friend Walter John Jr. from Venetie is sitting up and eating. He has been in a coma fro over two months. I pray for him on the 15th and God touched him and now he is up on the 20th. He gave his heart to God. He told from now on I'm going to serve the Lord.

Brother Willie Salmon and I got on Musicale yesterday.
I'll heading to Tetlin tomorrow and I'll be there as long
as I can because Tanancross cancelled.

Feb 24, 2007

Praise the Lord, yesterday morning I did a presentation at Youth Learning Center right down the road from Days Inn for students having hard time going to large school. Some of them are drop outs coming back to this school to receive their high school diploma. This is the second day I'm doing this kind of work, but I enjoy it, it was a blessing.

We had our first revival last night, it was good to see all my love in the Lord and they come to support and be blessed by God. About five people came to the Lord, they just needed a fresh touch from God. They were crying out to God as God touched everyone that came forward. We have a large band last night. Almost all the musicians I know showed up to play and support me and they were blessed. Afterward had a short inspiration.

Praise the Lord, I'm still blessed by Bethel Revival. It was a powerful meeting every night God did something different and powerful, I sure want to stay more, but I need to be in Anchorage to be ready. Please come and help me, God bless you all. Today I did a presentation at Mclaughlin Youth Center on "Purpose, Accomplishment, and Future". It was powerful time. I spoke for about two hours, there was
a time of laughter, seriousness, and just learning together about what they can do once they get out of that lock up. These youth are doing time in jail for crime. My heart went out for them, I care about them, I want them to be somebody, there was a time when I asked if they think of themselves as a nobody, half the students raised their hands, it was sad moment, then as fast as that, the next moment we'll be laughting together. I made a friend while I was there, Ron is a jailer, he's the one who help us get in there. He is a blessing. Henry Shaving gave me a time to share at their service at the hospital, I share about reaching out to the youth, we all need to do that some time. They need our help now so let us pray together for our youth in Alaska!

02/20/07

Praise the Lord, I'm here at Bethel doing revival since Friday and it been awesome every night. People are hungry for the Spirit. I see people getting set free and into the presence of God. Some were crying, some laughing and some just checking in into heaven. One of the person testify, that her bible is just glowing in her lap and she look to the front and just like looking at dvd on the large TV. These two young couple with two children (see pic in att) had a dream from God. God told them have get your socks inside out. So every night since Saturday that's what we our doing take our socks insideout. What a blessing those who are doing the "socks thing" we get blessed every night, just like special blessing, we feel the Spirit all day long. People are sharing with us their spiritual dreams. Tonight will be are last night,so keep praying for us.

JANUARY 2007

1/24/07

Praise the Lord, I'm doing good today and every day, looking forward to Feb. 23rd thru 25th Fur Rondy revival. The reason I changed it, because all the Native revivals are overlapping, the NAF is having their conference at Native Assembly and the Native New life is doing musicale all the same time, that's why I moved it. It's better this way, we'll start them off. God bless them.

1/19/07

Good to be home doing God's work I'll be working on the new CD right here in my home. I'll be doing praise and worship music and instrumental music CD. God been good to us. Hope to see you in Anchorage. I need some help in Anchorage passing out invitation cards and put up some fliers around town. Start inviting people and pass the word and e-mail everyone you know. You can call me starting February 19 on my cell 460-7037 if you want to help. God bless you all See this week's teaching on the left link.

1/10/07

I'm back home in Venetie, until February. We're just too busy to travel now my office is busy writing up year end giving and we'll be sending out year end notices on how much you gave to Sacred Ground. I thank you and bless you for giving to my ministry. Last year we did more for the kingdom of God than we did the year before. We travel to new village and went by boat, car, internet, plane, snow machine, cd, dvd, radio, tv, and tracts. This year is going to be awesome I just know it. It is starting already. Blessings are just pouring in and we've been pouring out already just this first few days of 2007. I was part of new year celebration at KJNP TV/radio and also I was part of Shirley D. funeral, gospel singing at David Salmon Tribal Hall and also was a speaker at Wings of Healing Church, ministering to prisoners. We've been busy for the kingdom!

Upcoming revival I'll be in Anch. for Fur Rondy and Iditarod weekend doing outreach in the city and also North American dog race and Tanana Chief Convention in Fairbanks. Praise God we're on rock and our name is on the roll.

DECEMBER

12/15

Praise the Lord, I'm happy to say that I got a reservation for Anchorage Days Inn conference room March 1, 2, & 3 during Iditarod, the I-did-a-revival. This will be my fourth year. God always sends a church or someone to sponsor this event. I have the contract but still need a sponsor
before next week. I've been reaching the lost in downtown Anchorage and every time I have a revival, a few homeless would make heaven their home. You can be involved in this
outreach. This costs about $900.00 or more to sponsor. It's up to us to reach them and your church can be involved if your church is in Anchorage area. We need your help at this time. It costs about three thousand every year to do this revival, there are lots of things to do and I'll need volunteers, but right now we need $900.00 to get things rolling. God bless you as you gift unto the Lord. You can help of any amount we will be blessed by your giving. Thank you and God bless you!
