Sharing God Stories on the Yukon River - FT4F0055

We often hear about sending missionaries to foreign countries. And we hear about evangelism efforts in the cities. But what about remote villages in Alaska. Listen as DJ and Robin Angaiak share how God began to prepare them, called them and provided for them and their entire family to take a months-long trip down the Yukon river in Alaska. It's an incredible story of God's faithfulness and growth. As you listen, you’ll learn: Why DJ wasn't sure he wanted to share with Robin what God showed him while flying back from a conference. Why their previous boating experience was no preparation for what was to come. The challenges they faced as they prepared to embark on their first trip down the Yukon. Where they slept while on their trip. The places they could often find people congregating in the villages. How a prayer and a moose reminded them of Scripture. How things turned out differently than expected. Resources Angiak Family Story Boat: https://www.facebook.com/angaiakfamily Love the podcast?

From The Deadliest Catch to Fishers of Men - the Story of DJ and Robin Angaiak - FT4F0054

If you were to have met them years ago, DJ and Robin Angaiak wound not have been at the top of your list for missionaries. In fact, they were an unlikely couple in so many ways. Neither had much, if any, relationship with God. Their relationship with each other was unhealthy. There was so much hopelessness and pain. However, God has an incredible way of not only returning what's been stolen from us, but also in turning it around for our good and the good of those around us. As you listen, you'll learn: How a key relationship in school opened up DJ's heart years later. How Robin's insatiable search for something more and reading William Shakespeare opened Robin's eyes to the Gospel. Why the journey from God's calling to actually stepping into missions took so long (and how knowing about call kept them going).
