Here's a link to the top 10 moments from "Man Vs Wild".

My favorites including drinking the liquid from elephant dung and urinating on his shirt and wrapping it around his head.

I arrived from my trip to Klemtu on Tuesday night.

Praise God that one of the Natives, Beth, came to know the Lord while my teammate Ran was praying for her.

God has sent many Christians to Klemtu over the years (including Ran, 16 years ago), and many of them encouraged Beth to follow Christ. It's definitely been an amazing journey for Beth to dedicate her life to God.

And one of the best lessons I personally learned during my week in Klemtu was that sometimes the best way to serve God is to help out in ordinary ways.

What was I doing when Beth gave her life to Christ? Babysitting Ran's son. It seemed so mundane at the time, but it's now humbling to realize that God used me to allow Ran to be at the right place at the right time.

Please pray for Beth. Her faith will be tested because there aren't many Christians in Klemtu and there are many temptations on the reserve.

And now, here are some pictures:

Klemtu is a beautiful community along the west coast of British Columbia.



It takes over 30 hours to travel from Vancouver to Klemtu, and I was on a ferry for more than 50 hours during the trip.



While the people of Klemtu are very friendly, there are many pains that Native people have inside them. Lester, a Native Christian, is wearing this Superman balloon that one of my teammates made for him. But while he tries to live for God, the things of his past continue to stumble his relationships with others.



While there, we did bible studies with the kids 4 times. Here's a picture we took of the kids during the final "Kid's Club".



These are the teens I got to know the most during my one week- Ryan, Spencer, Shane, and Steven, from left to right. We played basketball, went rowing, played mafia, and hung out together.



Jalen is a boy who introduced himself by asking me to pray for him, since his parents were bringing their drinking problems home with them. I was truly humbled by the fact that a kid who had never met me would ask that. God is definitely moving in the people's hearts here, and Jalen is a testament to that.

I take off for Canada tomorrow night and will be gone until Tuesday, July 17. Here are some details about my missions trip with North America Indigenous Ministries (NAIM):

I'll be part of a team of 1 family, 1 couple, and 3 young adults going to Klemtu, which is north of Vancouver Island. They have had missionaries from NAIM come in previous summers, so they are excited to have us. We'll be doing a lot of VBS-style activities with kids, and various things that God brings our way.

Please pray for:
1) God's work in Klemtu. God has done some great work through the previous short-termers who have served here, so pray that God will continue to build up people for His purpose.
2) Our team, especially since we haven't met each other yet. I hope that God unites us together in Him, and pray that we would seek to serve one another.
3) Me. I wasn't thinking about going on a missions trip at all this summer, but when the opportunity presented itself, I decided to go ahead. I didn't even get around to sending out support letters! Please pray that I would be a "team player" and have a servant's heart throughout the trip.

It's Independence Day today.

To celebrate America, here's Allen taking video of me, him, Basile, Ileen, Sammy, and his girlfriend Clare singing the most famous song about our national pastime (Take Me Out To The Ballgame) at one of our country's treasured ballparks, Wrigley Field.
