This past July 23–25, more than 70 or 80 men traveled through a remote Alaskan goldmine for a spiritual feast. The 20-mile trip into the retreat is through "some of the most scenic, rugged country in central Alaska," says one attendee. "There is no other men's retreat like this annual Alaskan event. Experienced bush pilots fly in to the 800-foot dirt strip, but even for them, it's a challenge."
This year's speaker was Jim Ayres, Adventist World Radio director. Ayres inspiring stories of miracles around the world motivated men to be more faithful in giving themselves completely to God for His leading in His service.
Other items presented during the retreat were ministry highlights, Sabbath afternoon hikes, Sunday gold panning and target practice.
