June 2018 Ministry Highlight
Checkpoint - an Answered Prayer
|
Over the course of the last calendar year, James and Rachel estimate that just under 2,000 meals have been served to the youth of Nome. What a blessing! Checkpoint relies on donations of conventional groceries and fish or game meat. Last year, moose was often on the menu.
Volunteer and soon to be intern Bethany Johnson loves to cook meals at Checkpoint. She shared, ‘I enjoy cooking and especially enjoy it when a youth genuinely wants to learn by helping me. I also love building relationships with the youth that come. I love being at Checkpoint because I can see the Lord working in the lives of the young people throughout the year.’
While Checkpoint is an incredible gift to the community and to those who serve, it can also be a challenge. This can sometimes be discouraging work as the hearts of those who serve are continuously being broken and healed by the things they see and hear. Pray for the team at Checkpoint that they will have joy and not grow weary or lose heart. Please pray too for healing for people in Nome - for kids, youth and adults!
