ALASKA CONFERENCE NEWS
Dillingham, Alaska, has
become my second
home. As the year finishes,
one thought runs through my
mind: Have I made a difference?
Sometimes I feel I go
about my business without
considering what I’m doing. I
plan activities to keep kids active
and engaged nine hours a
day, help with school business,
and participate in other activities.
But am I really taking time
to realize why I’m here?
I’m more than 3,000 miles
from loved ones because I accepted
God’s call to be a light,
like a song I sing with my
preschoolers, “This Little Light
of Mine.”
‘This Little Light of Mine’
Burns in Dillingham
The song says that I will
let it shine “’til Jesus comes.”
What a message! I have
God’s light inside me. It’s
His love — there so I can
reach others and share that
each of us are special to Him.
That’s good news.
Even if my students don’t
understand that meaning
now, I hope someday they’ll
remember singing this song
and realize what that light is
and that they can share it. I
may never know the impact
of my time here, but through
Christ I can help those flames
burn brighter.
This is also why I pray for
our Dillingham Adventist
School as it seeks a volunteer
to run its summer child care
program as well as a volunteer
pre-K/kindergarten
teacher and teacher’s aide for
the coming school year. The
Dillingham Adventist School
is available at 907-842-2496
for more information.
