Dear Friends,

Thank you so much for all of your support and prayers for Arctic Barnabas Ministries and the work we do to strengthen and encourage pastors and missionaries in remote Alaska!

This edition of The Arctic Encourager reminds us all of the importance of being seen. Whether it is on a ministry trip, within our office, or elsewhere, feeling seen is essential to the ministry families we serve, to us, and to each of you. All of us want to be seen and known. Fortunately, our God is the God who sees us (Genesis 16:13) and we can each rest in the knowledge that He really does care and He really does see us.

The team here at ABM gets the unique opportunity of reminding each other and the ministry families we serve of that very fact...all so the families we serve can tell others about the God who sees them, cares for them, and made a way for them to fellowship with Him. We hope you enjoy this edition!

When I think of how ABM has impacted our lives as a family, all I can do is smile. The way they have poured into our lives has been amazing. They have been there for us from the very beginning of our ministry journey here in Alaska, and it started out with a mini-vacation in Homer.

They housed us and watched our 2 young children as Travis and I were in the hospital having our third child, and then again for our 4th! Ever since then, ABM has been an integral part of our lives. We have received phone calls to check in, places to stay when we travel out, babysitters in and out of Kotzebue, food-providers, prayer warriors, friends and confidants.

We are grateful for the teams that have come to help us with repairs and pulpit coverage, and for places to stay in times of need. We have been so refreshed by events such as Ministry Family Retreat (MFR), dip-netting, and the Ladies Retreat. The biggest impact that MFR has had in our lives is the family we have gained through ABM (Grandpa Shelby and Grandma Debbie Smith!). We are so blessed to have the prayer-warriors, ministry support, friends and family that make up Arctic Barnabas Ministries.

Nothing quite compares to a personal visit with dear friends! As we provide care to the pastor and missionary families in remote Alaska, the highlight of that care is having the privilege to visit them in their village. Gaining this personal glimpse into their life and ministry provides us valuable insight as we continue providing care later over the phone. Usually, we enjoy a few days together as we fellowship and join them in their everyday life, however not every visit provides this length of schedule and we can be limited to shorter times of visiting.

Recently, we were greatly encouraged to fly a short distance and see a pastor family in a remote coastal village. As the Teele family enter their second year of service, our morning visit stretched into the lunch hour as it filled with stories of open doors God is providing them. Active community involvement and making themselves available have been blessed with several opportunities for discipleship.

A lifestyle of Christlikeness outside the four walls of the church building proves itself most impactful in this remote setting, where hearts are hungry for unconditional love and trustworthy friendship. An added blessing, this trip included having my wife and son along for a complete connection with the entire family.

A personal connection point for wives and children can be difficult to arrange. After several hours of chatting, multiple games played, and all the pizza and salad was eaten, we gave hugs and pressed on back towards home; encouraged.
