Summer 2014

It may not appear to be fall in many parts of the lower 48, however it is happening here in Alaska. Our last work team of the summer is here from Michigan. Our first work team arrived June 1. Needless to say it has been a very busy and productive summer. Victory has been blessed by all who have given of their time and talents.
I (Debbie) wrote in my notes from church on June 1st:
  God's followers are builders. When we build with the right heart it is worship to God. God provides time, commitment and dedication.

Victory Bible Camp and Conference Center would not be able to function without the continued support of the work teams during the summer months.

As we reflect on the past 2 1/2 months, we are grateful for the many words of encouragement. Satan loves to attack us, we are a prime target of his because of our desire to obey and follow God. The only offensive weapon provided in the Christian's armor is God's word.

Below are pictures of various work teams and projects from this summer:

Leveling and re-positioning a cabin at Frontier Camp

Adding foundation drain tile alongside Alpine Lodge (note the old board and batten siding on lodge)

Another waterline break! Gate valves and PVC in Alaska - neither should be sold here

When opportunity (or necessity, usually) knocks, fix it properly!

HDPE with fused joints - no barbed fittings or hose clamps

Then you insulate it and backfill

The Trinity Crew Brothers re-staining the deck on Miracle Lodge

Jora was a staining machine
