So sorry for being the worst blogger ever.  A quick update on my where abouts.....I flew out of Hawaii about a week ago and have been in Minnesota since.  Tomorrow morning myself and the team will be driving from Minneapolis to Winnipeg Canada, about a 7 hour drive I think.  We will be in Canada until September 15th, and from their we head to Fargo, North Dakota.  October 4th I will be flying into Hartville for 2 weeks to be with family and friends, and join up with our team for some shows when they come on October 10th.
While I have neglected blogging, things have been going great.  Tavita and I started school again yesterday so two days in and things are going good. It is a bit different doing school since we are on the road and not in Hawaii.  But I like being on the road, keeps me busy and there are always people to meet and things to do.  I am in need of quite a bit of financial help right now, due to having added grounds fees and airline costs.  So if you could pray and see if God would have you support me it would be greatly appreciated.  Please continue to pray for our team. Pray for traveling mercies, good health, and for our team to be united and shows Jesus' love to the people we encounter.  We are expecting great things to happen but we need your prayers to help us in our work.  If you would like to donate financially you can donate through my paypal (link at top of my blog) or make checks out to Hartville Mennonite Church, with a note attached designating funds go towards Ashley Phipps Missions Fund.  Either mail it to the church or put it in the church offering.  Thank you all for your prayers and encouragement.  You are such a blessing!  God Bless.

Greetings from Alaska!  I know it has been a long time since I have updated my blog or sent an update. There has not been good internet/phone service so I apologize for the delay.  I am just finishing up my 4 week outreach here in Alaska.  Our first week here our team helped staff a camp in a Native American village called Alaska Ablaze.  We did worship services, a basketball camp and other activities every day for the kids.  And also fed the people 3 meals a day, and held a time of ministry each night for the people.  It was a great time for me to serve others and build relationships with the people in the village.  After serving at the camp our team has been traveling throughout Alaska performing our show.  They have performed the show around 10 times now in several different cities.  I am now in Valdez, Alaska, and not to brag but it is BEAUTIFUL!  I will be flying out of Alaska August 9th to head back to Hawaii.  Than August 18th I will fly to Minneapolis, and from their we will drive to Manitoba, Canada. We will be spending a month in Manitoba, and than drive to Fargo, ND for about 3 weeks.  Than we fly to Hartville, and from their we will go to Scotland for about a month outreach.  As you can tell, I have a busy schedule ahead of me.  Because of this the prices of airfare, grounds, and food I will be in need of more finances for our upcoming tours.  I have been so blessed with the support financially and through prayers that I have received the past 4 months, and can not believe how much God has blessed me.  I am in need of finances to cover my airfares for the next couple of months and also ground travel and food costs.  I have set up a paypal account that you can access through my blog (ashleymphipps.blogspot.com) or you can put an offering in at the church.  Please be in prayer for my upcoming tour and if God leads you to support me financially.  God has been doing amazing things in my life, and just writing on paper can not even begin to explain what He has done!  I thank God constantly for His faithfulness, and for the faithfulness you have all shown to me and my missions work.  I would not be where I am now without your support and prayers.  You all mean so much to me!  Please feel free to ask any questions you may have, or even just to say hello.  I miss hearing from home, and would love to tell you all more about what I have been doing.  Thank you again for all of your prayers and support, and may God bless each of you!
