Fundamental Baptist Fellowship and Experiencing Alaska

Hello everyone! I (Abby) am very sorry for such a late blog post. We have had a very busy this past weeks! July 25-27 we attended the FBF Alaska meetings and July 28-30 we experienced Alaska. This was the 20th Anniversary of the FBF in Alaska. The meetings were hosted by Hamilton Acres Baptist Church in Fairbanks (Pastor Bruce Hamilton). It was a blessing to hear Mr. B share the history of the FBF in Alaska and to listen to the various pastors tell how the Lord has used the fellowship in their lives. One of the speakers that was especially encouraging to me was Dr. John Vaughn. Dr. Vaughn reminded us on Wednesday “ God has already equipped you with everything you need to fulfill His will for your life.” It is often these simple truths that we need to be reminded of in our Christian life! On Thursday the team traveled back to Wasilla. On Friday we drove to Hatcher Pass and hiked around the Independence Mine State Park. We also got to walk out on the Matanuska Glacier. It was slippery but soooo beautiful!! The team got to take a cruise on Saturday

out on Resurrection Bay. The cruise stopped at Fox Island where we ate salmon and prime rib. We got great pictures of the various wildlife in

Alaska. We saw porpoises, puffins, bald eagles, seals, and humpback whales. God has used this past weekend to remind me of how great

a Creator He is! It has been a privilege to serve Him this summer.

Joyfully,

Abby
