Off to Alaska!

Dennis and Roger Lindh leave Sunday, August 30, for Eagle, Alaska to volunteer with Samaritan's Purse. In May the Yukon River flooded and rose to more than 37 feet above flood stage. But it wasn't just the flooding that devastated this small Alaskan community on the Canadian border. A massive ice jam came crashing into the tiny town. Nearly every riverfront building, including the town clinic, was crushed. 

Samaritan's Purse is helping rebuild 13 houses that were destroyed by the ice and water. These homes will be built from log cabin kits. A video can be seen on the Samaritan's Purse web site - "Rebuilding in Alaska". The work began the first week in July and will continue to the end of September. It is now a race to finish the homes before the Alaskan winter sets in. The night time temperatures will already be in the 20's when they arrive. 

Dennis and Roger desire your prayers.

• For the people in Eagle who lost their homes in the flood.
• That the work will be finished before winter.
• That hearts will be open for the Gospel.
• For Roger who is recovering from Lyme's Disease.

We will keep you updated during the time they are at Eagle, but there is no internet or cell phone service. So pictures and the greater details will have to wait until they return on September 15.
