The Beauty And The Beast





Within the beauty of Alaska, lies a beast...97% of the population is unchurched. The suicide rate is 9 times higher than the national average. Fetal alcohol syndrome, alcoholism, sexual abuse,incest and poverty is not a stranger to the beautiful scenery of Alaska. The camp here, supplies a way to help many children who live in these deplorable conditions. As just an example, Grace Works helps kids from low income families of Anchorage to attend camp for free, nourishing them with the love of Jesus and also with food they sometimes don't get very much of at home. This past summer 29 were saved, one young girl dedicated her life to missions and 4 were baptized in the lake. It has been our privilege to be able to clean up the camp and build a new deck that many little feet will be walking over. We will be able to leave here knowing that we have helped to bring many closer to the glory of God...Rachel DeMoliner
