Alaska Update / Day #17 in ###

There is power in prayer (James 5:16)!

Tonight will be day number 17 sleeping in the van. I get off work and I am so exhausted that I instantly fall asleep for nearly 2 hours.

I am a laboratory manager. Up here in Alaska, it’s hard to find good workers even at $26 an hour. Part of my day, every day is to see how I can find more employees.

So, even though I am a manager, I often find myself doing the work that is very physically demanding. It’s good exercise, but very tiring.

I continue to ask prayer prayers that I’ll be strong mentally and physically.

I need a place to live. I would not be able to live in this van once the temperatures begin to fall. I’ve been in here at 38° and it is really cold but in October in November it could easily reach -38° last December 29, almost died when I got locked out of this fan and it was -23°F. By the grace of God, two ladies came to help me. I believe God sent them here made them available.

My wife left me and then took my children. She said she did not love me. I pleaded with her not to leave. I never thought that my wife could hurt me so bad. I pleaded with God for reconciliation. I know he has the power to do amazing things. I know he can move the mountain of separation. I have prayed fervently that he would do so in my family.

I love my wife deeply and dearly. Love is a choice we choose to love something or someone. In Christianity, we choose to love Jesus Christ, who we have never met, but we believe.

I am asking anyone and everyone that will please pray for my family's reconciliation.

I miss my children so much. I am the kind of father that carries his children on his shoulders when they get tired from hiking. I am the kind of dad that enjoys his kids more than anything self-serving. I miss them terribly with every ounce of my being. Please pray that God will make a way for me to see them.

I remember praying recently before I got this new job… I said God I ask you to give me a career so that when my wife comes back to me, I will be set career-wise and financially speaking. A few weeks later, I got this career.

I believe in God with all my heart. I am 100% confident he sees me laying in the back of this old van through that thin metal roof right above. He is fully aware of my situation (Ps 139). No doubt!

Thank you for your prayers

I have suffered greatly with deep sadness. And I take great courage and knowing that so many are praying on my behalf. Please continue.

Heavenly Father, we lift up Your faithful servant who is enduring trials beyond measure. You see him lying in the van, exhausted from labor yet steadfast in faith. Your Word says,* ***“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18).*** *Draw near to him tonight, Lord. Renew his strength like the eagle’s (Isaiah 40:31) and sustain him physically and emotionally as he works tirelessly.*

*Lord, You are Jehovah Jireh—his Provider. Open doors for safe, warm housing before winter’s bitter cold arrives. Just as You sent angels to rescue him at -23°F, we trust You will* ***“supply all his needs according to Your riches in glory” (Philippians 4:19).*** *Give him favor in finding affordable shelter, and bless his diligence as a manager and laborer.*

*Father, we cry out for his family. You hate divorce (Malachi 2:16), and nothing is impossible for You (Luke 1:37). Stir his wife’s heart with remembrance of their covenant.

You are a Father to the fatherless (Psalm 68:5); shield those little ones and make a way for their dad to hold them again.*

*Jesus, You turned water into wine and resurrected the dead—we ask for that same miracle-working power in this marriage. Where hope seems lost, declare* ***“Behold, I am doing a new thing!” (Isaiah 43:19).*** *Silence the enemy’s lies and let Your redemption story unfold.*

*Holy Spirit, comfort his grieving heart. Remind him that* ***“weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning” (Psalm 30:5).*** *Surround him with a community of intercessors, and let him feel the tangible power of their prayers.*

*We declare breakthrough, restoration, and supernatural provision over his life. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
