Trip Up to the Brooks Range

On Monday Ryan and a few other men are heading up to the Brooks Range to take supplies for camp this summer. Kingdom Air Corps runs bible camps up north of the Arctic Circle every summer and flies in children from Native Villages that are not accessible by road during the summer. Winter is the only way to bring supplies in and so this is a yearly undertaking for Glacierview Church. Ryan will be driving VBC's semi loaded with supplies and snowmachines up to Bettles, AK part of which requires driving on a winter road. This means partially ice road. Scary to me, exciting for him. Once they reach Bettles they will be taking snowmachines loaded down with freightsleds full of building supplies and other items 45 mi one direction across the back country out to the Brooks Range. They will be going back and forth multiple times every day and then sleeping in converted trailers at night. This trip is anticipated to last approximately one week barring any major setbacks. Please pray for the guys as they undertake this mission. Here is a picture of some of the food I am working on putting together for Ryan to take along. They will be heating food up in a hotdogger (a canister that hooks onto the exhaust of the snowmachine while they drive).
