We are pleased to announce our first ministry trip working with YWAM in Homer, Alaska.  Recently we spoke with Scott Smith who is the director of this ministry and he asked us to help them transform an older building into offices and classrooms for their new base of operations.  Below is a photo of the building we will be working in.
