Safe and Sound

Our final approach gives you a unique perspective on the bay where the Tanalian Bible Camp is situated along Lake Clark.  Lake Clark is over 60 miles long and 5 miles wide.  We arrived safely, and are grateful to the Lord for an incredible traveling day. 

We’ve begun some staff training are getting rested up for the kids who arrive on Monday morning.  All of the kids have to be flown in just like us since there are no roads connecting the little villages out here in these remote areas.

A Walk Through the Clouds

Flying through the mountain pass at a higher altitude than last year made it look completely different, the sun was shining, and the clouds were above and below us at times. Awe inspiring!

Almost There!

After 4 short hours of sleep, we gathered at Merrill Field at 7:30 am Alaska time. We are three hours behind Chicago. Team members Anne Camey, Greg Hess, Vic Epperson, and Scott Capp are standing ready to head to the village.

Answers to yesterday's trick question: Parents and a couple of friends were included in the photo of our prayer and send-off at church.

Hey Vic, big tornadoes yesterday in the Chicago area. We are all fine. Take lots of pictures (scenery, campers, activities, food, etc.). It looks beautiful. Grandpa says catch a large one! We're praying for all of you. Dad and Mom

Hi there,

This is Amy, a friend of Anne's. Glad to see everyone arrived safely. Hope you are getting some rest & refreshed before camp starts. Love the pictures so far & look forward to seeing more. :)
Oh yeah, and after suffering a minor set-back loosing the previous 2 games (on Fri. & Sat.) to the Dodgers, the Cubs won 3-1 tonight to split the series w/ Los Angeles before they head home to face the Braves on Tuesday.
