Update From The Krake Family, Your Missionaries to Palau Summer 2013 Contact Information: Mailing Address: Palau Assembly of God ! ! C/O Nick Krake ! ! P.O. Box 126 ! ! Koror, Palau 96940 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.iheartpalau.com Alii from Palau! It has been a blessed, but busy summer. One of the highlights was the week we spent reaching out to our community through Mega Sports Camp (MSC). MSC was a huge success through the help of individuals in our church, a missions team from Saipan, and also some U.S. soldiers from the local Seabees team. We also received many great donations from many of you that enabled us to reach the kids of our community on an even greater level. MSC was a two-fold blessing: 1) we presented the gospel to over 50 kids, and many received Jesus; 2) the heart of outreach and ministry to children was captured by all those who participated. We praise God for the lives that were changed through this wonderful week. We want to also thank God for the opportunities He has given us to minister in the schools. By the end of the school year we were able to get into five of the major elementary schools. We were also invited to come speak at the library summer camp, which had kids from other schools we haven’t been able to get to yet. God has truly opened the doors for us to share Jesus openly with the students of Palau! We have just come back from an amazing time in Chiang Mai, Thailand for the Asia Pacific Retreat. How refreshing it was to be among so many great missionaries, national leaders, and God’s beautiful presence! As a region we are under a fresh vision that was launched at retreat. The title is: “Spend Yourself”. We were challenged to spend our time, our money, our resources to reach those who have not yet heard the gospel and for those who have been forgotten. For the first time, we encountered someone who had never heard the name of Jesus, while at the retreat. Nick was able to share the gospel with a taxi driver named “Peter”. He had no idea who Jesus was, though now he does, and we were reminded why the work of reaching the lost is so important...Will you “Spend Yourself” and do whatever it takes to reach the unreached and forgotten?
