Overnight trip to Brook Range Bible Camp

So Dwayne, Kittikoon and I made a quick overnight trip up to brooks range to drop off Taiga, Dwayne's Grandaughter for camp and to see how things are going. It was a wonderful whirlwind trip full of fun, joy and laughter. Camp is going great 30 some kids from 3 villages and 30 some staff/ staff kids there keeping it all running. Below are some pictures from the trip.

 Thanks for all the prayers for each day and for camp, there are so many lost kids from isolated villages who are hearing about God's love and are thinking about all the things that are shared with them. Pray for safety traveling in and out and for the time spent out in the wilds of the north.

An Alaskan 4th of July

Its been a crazy few days here at Kingdom Air Corps with everyone going off to camp, but before everyone left we had an exciting July 4th festivities. Our whole community is invited to Arnie's place, a sort of center of the glacier view community with his zip line business but also a pavilion and a beautiful strategically placed cliff for fun and dangerous festivities. At noon there was a formation fly over by 3 Kingdom Air Planes as Taiga (Dwayne's Granddaughter) read a speech then there was the national anthem, the pledge of allegiance and the dish to pass lunch with live local patriotic music to dine by. After lunch there were festivities that only take place in Alaska, the first was to drive 2 vehicles at 30+ mph over a cliff as we all watched and waited at the bottom to oooh and aaah and rate the impacts. Later there were also several bowling balls launched from a cannon into the air, it is interesting to hear the whistle as they go out of ear shot and then as they come back down and you hope not too close to you. That was the excitement July 4th. We would have had a pyrotechnics display except for the strict burn ban due to wild fires. Anyway at least you can still drive cars over cliffs.

before lunch entertainment, a huge game of jenga

Flying cars and crashing & burning cars
