Hiking and the Gospel

Check out the Alaska Team update sounds like it's full of adventure!

Today, the team spent the early afternoon hiking up the Worthington Glacier in Valdez, Alaska. We made tuna sandwiches for lunch in the parking lot before heading over to the trail. We hiked 2.1 miles total and had gained 220 feet of elevation by the time we got to the top. 

We spent the evening at our fourth night of Backstage with the Bible VBS. Tonight we shared the Gospel with children from preschool through 5th grade.
