Fairbanks, Alaska 2007
Hello Friends,
Thanks for your interest in our adventures! We have much to share as our lives have travelled many paths. We've been many places and have focused on helping others.
We are planning to return to the Gulf Coast in March to continue to help in the relief and rebuilding in Katrina's aftermath. We will be working with the Brethren Disaster Ministeries in Pearl River, LA with a group from our church, Pleasant Dale Church of the Brethren. (Some of you may not know, but we met last March on the Gulf Coast only by God's plan and were married in October.)
We also have an upcoming trip this summer to Alaska to work with Gwich'in Indians in Arctic Village in a community gardening project. Global warming has affected caribou migration which has limited a major food source for them. We hope to work along with the folks there to provide more food and a self-sustaining lifestyle by being better eduacted and informed.
After our time in Actric Village, we will travel south to Fairbanks to be joined by a group from the Midwest to work with Habitat for Humanity before heading back to Indiana. This year's group is at capacity, but please let us know if you're interested in a future trip.
We are excited for what lies ahead for us in serving our Lord, Jesus Christ, and our fellow man.
