Grammer October 2018

Sondergaard October 2018
Dear Praying Friends and Family, Hospital visit: Since Andrew’s birth last Saturday, we have had some concerns: Andrew showed very little interest in eating, and he seemed to be in a constant deep sleep. On Monday, Naomi took him to the pediatrician who suggested we have him checked at the Flagstaff hospital. That evening we […]
Sondergaard Update October 15, 2018
Dear Family and Friends, The last few weeks has been extra busy but we felt the need to get a quick note to you all to share a couple prayer requests with you. First on our minds is the need to pray for Gary Messick (the pastor we are assisting). Over a week ago […]

How could we when we see His handiwork all around us; the beautiful mountains that surround us, the gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, the wildlife […]

August 2018 Dear Friends in Christ, Every summer, Sam spends 1-2 weeks in Alaska at Thorne Bay working on the building for the radio station.

Messick August 2018
Dear Praying Friends and Family, “Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.” Psalm 100:2 Reading this verse brought to mind three little guys in our Junior Church.

Sondergaard August 2018

Throughout this month, I have been challenged by the example of many people who were taking advantage of opportunities God gave them to share the Gospel. Oh, […]
