Snow, School and Venison Stir Fry

Libby MT was a charming, snow covered, up-north, small town with friendly folk. We were a bit white knuckled as we drove in after a 6 hour drive on snowy roads from Missoula which should have taken us 3 hours. But you know it's a decent town when the first thing you see is a big sign of the ten commandments greeting you on the edge of town.

Our assembly was at Kootenai Valley Christian School for a small but mighty student body. We felt welcomed from the start and had a blast sharing the UniShow with them. It was fun to hear students exclaim throughout, "This is awesome!" and "How is he so good at this stuff?!"


  



Word got out that the UniShow was coming to town so a reporter and photographer from the local newspaper were there from start to finish to watch and interview.

After we packed up, Dustin shared with the high schoolers for their missions class. He challenged them to be willing to count the cost and share Christ where people have never heard of Him. Several students said they were motivated by Dustin's words and were interested in the variety of ministry opportunities available through Operation Mobilization.


An extra incredible blessing was to be sent away with a warm and fresh venison stir fry, homemade by the missions teacher's wife. She and her young kids were at the assembly. Afterward she had gone home, whipped up this amazing meal and brought it to us before missions class was over! To top it off, she shared a generous amount of their outstanding homemade venison jerkey from their family hunting adventures. And word on the street is that no one shares the bounty of their hunt around these parts.
