Midnight Sun Ministries VBS at Pioneer Baptist Church in North Pole


First of all I want to say I really don’t want to write on this blog but I was forced to do it. But what’s more important isn’t what I want to do. VBS went well last week we had around twenty children everyday. I (Katie) had seven children in my class and not one of them missed a day. It was so amazing. We had so much fun, and they listened really well. It was a little bit different this time around. The church is made up mostly of military families since there is a base nearby. The kids loved VBS and went home telling their parents all they had learned. I ended up making one of the boys cry, but in the end he was my best friend. Many of the children did not want it to be over. Even though I am a “teacher” I have learned a lot this summer and I really thank God that I am on this Mission Trip. The team stayed in the St. George’s home. They are really happy and giving people. They had a two-seat bicycle and Emily and Justin decided to try it out to be honest it didn’t really turn out that great. Emily ended up flipping across the sidewalk, which was a funny sight to see. I miss home so much and I don’t know what else to say. Hopefully you can get more out of the next blog.

This week we are at Fort Yukon in Arctic Alaska. This week’s ministry is not a VBS ministry but a ministry directed to the teens in this Athabaskan village of about 600 people. Pray that God will use us this week.
