Hi Friends,
Dave and Gary have been praying about the possibility of reaching remote villages with little or no exposure to the Gospel. They took off yesterday in the 206 headed for the village of
Nunapitchauk which neither Gary nor Dave have ever visited before.
The purpose of the visit was to make a contact with someone in the village to introduce the work at Kako and invite people to attend our retreats and camps. Dave landed in a remote village that he thought was Nunapitchuk and left Gary there. Dave flew on the the village of Kasigluk, where he was doing the same thing.
As it turns out, Gary was actually in Atmauthluak, but he didn't discover that until he was visiting with the Postmaster there. He asked her if he could send her some camp registrations and information about other Kako events for her to make available. She was glad to do that and gave him her name and address.
Next he went to the school where he met a couple who have been the only teachers there for many years. He invited them to our Teachers Retreat next weekend. They were friendly, but gave no indication that they were interested. He left some Kako brochures at the Native Store and the lady there was glad to display them.
The only road from the air strip to the village was this long boardwalk used by pedestrians and 4 wheelers alike. So, that was Gary's first experience going into a village by himself to make a contact. He was very excited about it and said the Lord gave him courage when he was way out of his comfort zone. He doesn't like going alone, but that's the way Dave prefers to work.
Dave had a successful visit and invited a guy to come spend a week at Kako because
he said he wants to get his life straight with God. He agreed to meet with Gary for Bible Studies every day for a week. Please pray for him. His name is Oddrick and he doesn't know the Lord.
We are very happy to be back at Kako together after Margo's surgery. She will have the cast on until November 13 when she will make a quick trip to Seattle to have her arm x-rayed and the cast removed. Hopefully she won't have to make a follow up visit.
Love,
Gary and Margo
