Remembering Moose Factory

Leave a reply

It is hard to believe it’s been a year already! Some of you may know that our family was blessed with the opportunity to be a part of some gospel meetings in Moose Factory, Ontario, last January. What an incredible trip that was!

Last year around the same time I was taking a multimedia class for school, and one of my assignments was to make a video about…something of interest, I guess, although I don’t remember what all the details of the project were. 🙂 Well, it just happened that we were in Moose Factory when I had to do this, so I decided to put together a video about our trip. This is the semi-original–after watching it a year later we decided it needed some touching up. 🙂

So as we have been doing a little reminiscing about God’s goodness on that trip, we thought you might like to remember this with us!

Welcome to North Carolina!

Beautiful tree covered mountains, winding highways and roads, popping ears… we were in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina!  As we traveled up and down through the mountains, we were very thankful for the brake job that Uncle Joe, Dad, and Grandpa took care of while we were in Maryland.

We pulled in late Tuesday night to a Christian camp that graciously allowed us to stay there.  We had been invited by Tammy Jackson to sing at Acquoni Baptist church in Cherokee, and she had also lined up several Native American believers to record their testimonies for the Storyteller.

Over the weekend, a church group came in from Tennessee to close up the camp and so we were able to help with cleaning, sweeping, raking, and such.

We had quite a bit of down time on this part the trip and so we visited the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.  We did some driving and hiking, soaking in the beauty of God’s creation.

Half of us in NC, half of us in TN!

Wherever we go in ministry, the Lord brings other brothers and sisters in Christ into our path that are a blessing and encouragement to us.  It’s also exciting to see how He provides for us – from where we stay to what we eat.  We’re greatly blessed!

Suitcases, instruments, and sound equipment… we were really packed in there!

We recently returned from a big sixteen day trip out East… Maryland, North Carolina, Kentucky, and then on to Wisconsin.  As there were several destinations along the way and numerous events that took place, this will be a series of posts.

It was a wonderful trip and the Lord blessed our time tremendously.  Thank you for all of you who were praying for safety and fruitfulness… the Lord gave both.  Keep an eye out for the different posts about our trip because there will be lots of pictures and stories to share.
