Dear Faithful friends of Music with a Mission:
In case you missed hearing, we have purchased a home in Soldotna, Alaska! We will still be traveling between Montana and Alaska but for now we’ve made our home in Alaska!
While flying back up in September, the Lord gently spoke to my heart that He was “propelling us forward into His plan for us!” We aren’t quite sure what that looks like just yet, but we TRUST HIS HEART.
The week of Thanksgiving, we will be flying into a larger Native Village, Kotzebue, AK. It is above the Arctic Circle. We will be assisting the pastors in cooking a Thanksgiving meal for the congregants and decorating for Thanksgiving and then for Christmas. Then Saturday evening, November 25th we will share a Christmas Concert with the people. On Sunday morning we will be leading worship and singing a couple of special songs for them as well. Then we fly back to Anchorage and drive home to Soldotna (about 3 hours on a good weather day) for a few days.
Then we drive back to the Anchorage area to a town called Big Lake. We will be sharing a Christmas Concert there on December 3rd. This church has been without a pastor for over a year and another local pastor has graciously taken the church on to help them “reignite for the kingdom!” Afterwards, we will fly to Montana for a few weeks to be with some of our family for Christmas.
We want to thank all of you for continuing to pray for us and for your faithful support over the years! God is obviously not finished with us yet and we are excited to see what is around the next corner in ministry. Also, please help us continue to pray for Israel. As we see all these things unfolding, we realize Jesus’ coming is sooner than we may think! Even so, come Lord Jesus.
May the Lord continue to encourage each of you and give you hope and fill your hearts with joy during this holiday season.
With Much Love,
Bill & Cissy Padgett
