North Pole Bound

Alaska Update: Today Carl and his hunting partner Jae are flying into the hunting area on a float plane where they will be dropped off for 10 days. I spoke to him yesterday via satellite phone and they are doing well. He said the weather there has been crazy so the caribou are still more north than usual for this time of year. They may alter their hunting location because of it. Please pray that they find huge Caribou and for their safety. Carl will be filming Jae killing a Caribou with a rifle. If that happens, Carl will have a chance to kill one with a bow if they find enough. Jae is a youth minister in Anchorage, AL and has been an Alaskan guide for 13 years. He assured me that he hasn't lost a hunter yet!!!
Background: For those of you who don't know, Carl is working on filming hunts for an evangelism DVD that they will produce for Alaskan men. The Alaska Baptist State Convention has hired Outdoor Ministry Network to come film and produce the DVD. Carl is now working full time with OMN as the Arkansas Field Rep. He will be working with churches all over AR to train and equip them with resources to reach outdoorsmen. The OMN website is linked on this blog if you want to know more about the ministry. Thanks for your prayers and support.
