Anticipation Mounts in Adak
The word has spread in Adak that we will be soon visited by a team from Cornerstone and we are all very excited for our guests to arrive! So please keep these six in your prayers as they fly out on the 22nd and prepare to arrive in Adak on the 25th.
Around Adak, all projects have been making progress. Our diggers have made it down 20 feet and begun pounding through the rock that has halted every other well drilling effort we have made thus far. So with any luck, the people of Adak will soon have access to clean water.
The medical center is flying up, with almost all exterior walls reaching ten bricks high, and half of the interior walls matching that. The biggest concern now is preparing to get adequate lumber to make the trusses for the roof. Apparently it is next to impossible to get lumber over four meters long and we have been dead-ended every time we explore new options. But thanks to a creative architect and a determined engineer, I have no doubt any problems will soon be solved.
I am sorry to say, I am without photographs as I am in town to pick up an order of metal, but I will be certain to well document the site for the next blog. Thank you to everyone who has had us in their prayers. Despite many opportunities for problems, it seems God has kept things running relatively smoothly (which, in my experience, is counter to his personality...reference - The Old Testament)

Adam, we prayed today at CCC for the team leaving for adak tonight. I wanted you to know I have and will pray for you by name daily, as I did for Jordon. He made it back, thinner, wiser, and I suspect more committed to te Lord than ever, and I have no doubt you will too! God Bless!

Miguel is bringing you a BIG goodie bag! But, I believe he did help himself to some of the contents while on the flight over to you. He may be Christ’s Cuban…but he still needs to become more trustworthy.
Keep leading well, Adam!
