Wow! What a celebration was enjoyed this year at Willie and Grace William's ranch--we were incredibly blessed taking home wonderful memories and filled with anticipation for the 2008 festival!
Five friends from Cloverdale Christian Fellowship in Surrey joined us at the Stikine Fest this year--Kim Fraser, Deborah Krouse, Jacob and Ida Schuurman, and Ford Burden drove the long distance from the lower mainland of BC. They took home awesome testimonies--met new friends to keep in touch with--they threw their hearts into whatever tasks presented--they were immensely blessed by their experiences. ( The local mosquito population rejoiced at their coming and were lessened by their departure; however, the Intrepid Five lived to tell the tale of the insect battalions of Northern BC)
We received inspired Biblical teaching from Larry Keegstra from Vanderhoof--in addition to the usual amazing gospel music presented so faithfully and beautifully by the local Tahltan and visiting musicians. One won't quickly forget the hilarious banter of Randy Adams and Judy Desjarlais! Andy Quock and Ivan Mercer faithfully tended the sound equipment--Willie and Grace as always were the 'Hosts with the Mostest!' liberally dispensing welcome and God's love to all who came. So many people help out incredibly-- cooks working tirelessly to feed the hungry hoards-- contributions of local people, financial and with salmon and meat--many hands made a lot of work lighter.
Thank you, Willie and Grace, for your incredible generosity, hard work and love to all who come to be blessed at this annual event. We are praying and looking forward to next year's event--
to be held in the new concert facility!? With the Lord's help and blessings--until next year
in the Stikine Valley.
I love you, Willie and Grace, and your family. You are surely 'Grandparents' in the Lord to so many people--including myself! God has blessed us richly! God bless you guys! We love you!
Praise the Lord for His goodness!
