“This week after Holiness meeting we spent time with a young man who is struggling with his relationship with GOD, but he is seeking! He expressed frustration with others expectations and his reality. We encouraged him to let GOD lead instead of the expectations of others.”

“With the Lts. away, programs took a week break. We are working to strengthen local leadership to avoid this as much as possible, and building leaders is a goal for this year.

“The sun has come out in Ketchikan! It was a beautiful Father's Day service as we recognized the men of influence in our Corps. It looks like construction will be completed within the next two weeks, which is exciting as full access to our Corps will return and allow many of our folks with mobility challenges to return. Our volunteers have been incredible, and some changes to our social service intake has helped to smooth out the processes for people seeking services. Lt Sam travelled with four of our Youth to Haines for Southeast SAY Camp. A wonderful time was had by all!”

“Three children from Sitka attended the Salvation Army youth camp in Haines. The Alaska Marine Highway Ferry System was not available from Sitka to Juneau, so our group had to fly part of the way, which incresed our transportation cost significantly. A baby was dedicated on Sunday during the morning service. The baby's name is Cephas. The mother, Catherine Howard, is the granddaughter of past CSM Paul James of Angoon.”
