Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His steadfast love endures forever! ~ Psalm 107:1

As many of you know, God's called me on a journey to full time ministry at Tanalian Bible Camp in Alaska. What a journey it has been so far!! The past twelve months have been full of so much including anticipation, new adventures, and even some challenges. It's a journey I would have never expected in my life but when I asked God what was next, this is how He answered and I could be more grateful for the opportunity.

Riding on Super Mable was sure fun this summer but my favorite memory was witnessing the baptism of a camper in my cabin in 2021. It was incredible to see the spiritual and emotional growth the Lord has brought to this young lady over the past year.

As a full time missionary my support is made possible by donations to TBC. Praise the Lord - 40% of the funds needed to support my role at TBC have been pledged or given for 2023!! Thank all of you who have generously provided financial support to TBC to allow me to serve there. You are helping to spread the gospel in southwest Alaska.

After spending most of the summer and some of the fall in Port Alsworth, I'm currently working from Illinois to contribute to the ministry with bookkeeping, human resources and various other administrative tasks that can be done remotely and waiting on the Lord to bring the rest of the necessary funds or pledges to make the move to Port Alsworth. When I get back it will help lighten the load of what people on site have to do in my absence as well as allow me to be involved in the day to day ministry that can only happen there!

My remaining support needed for 2023 is approximately $30,000. I'd love to get to finish the year strong and be 60% or more funded by the end of December.

If you would like to partner with the ministry of TBC for my staff support which will allow me to move to Port Alsworth full time, you can give a one time or recurring donation by going to TBC's website at www.tanalianbiblecamp.org/give. Select 'Staff Support' and my name on the dropdown menu. Or reach out to me and I’d love to connect with you in person.

If you may know someone who has a heart for missions, especially in rural Alaska, I'd love to talk with them about partnering with TBC.

Prayer is ministry. Thanks to all of you who have prayed and continue to faithfully pray for the ministry at TBC. Please join me in prayer for the following.

• Praise for a full year of summer camp ministry this year after 2 years of disruption due to the pandemic

• Praise for the successful opening of Properly Ground (TLC's coffee shop)

• For lives to be changed as a result of the ministry at TBC

• For the staff to be encouraged and work in unity for the mission at TBC in the coming year

• For my practical needs of housing, transportation and financial support to be in Port Alsworth full time

• For the summer volunteers who will be coming to share their time and talents

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN EVERY WAY!

Merry Christmas - may you richly experience the ultimate blessing of the birth of our Savior this season.
