Visitors from Kalskag today.

We had visitors from the down river village of Kalskag today.  We had received their goods in preparation for them to canoe the Kuskokwim River.  I had first met one of them when I was pastor at Victory Baptist Church in Anchorage.  Their float will take between two and three weeks.  In the summer, many try to take advantage of the long sunny days before the reality of Alaska winter comes upon them.

I checked to be sure they had their 12 guage shotgun ready with slugs - bear country - BIG GRIZZLIES!

They had their GPS but no SPOT or SAT. Radio. 

Had many other visits today from village of McGrath.

One must make friendships and gain trust before they will commit to anything, or listen to you concerning eternity.


On a side note:  We are in need of a Marine VHS Base station radio for the cabin.  We have two hand-held units but we need the base to really reach out to the other villagers up and down the Kuskokwim.

If you know anything about Marine VHF radios or know someone with one that they would like to donate, please let us know.

TONS OF MOSQUITOES!!!!!!!!!!!
