Ladies at Hoonah ZipRide

Good morning Breakthrough!

Five Breakthrough ladies had a fantastically awesome day in Hoonah. Jeannita, Sherry, Carolyn, Tomica & Brenda went on the adventure of the Icy Strait Point ZipRide zipline. It's the longest & highest zipline in the world. It's 5400 feet long, goes at the speed of 60 mph and has a vertical drop of 1300 feet. The ride took 90 seconds from beginning to end. In spite of our obvious apprehensions, we took the leap of faith and He carried us safely to our destinations. We also were blessed to see a pod of whales right in front of our lunch restaurant and then later, a little family of jellyfish.

We'd like to share some of the fun with you. Photos of our fun day are posted at
http://www.zip-photos.com/. Once in, click on gallery, then Juneau Day June 26 2010, 10:30 departure. You will find us beginning at photo #23 - 45. Enjoy! We had a GREAT time and are ready for next year. Thank you for praying for us!

Supporting Pastor Jason

Good morning everyone!

Some may remember a few weeks ago when I told you in service that I feel like it's getting time to being in full-time ministry again. I believe this will be amazing for the church and what I know God has called us to do. For this reason, I've been trying to  take steps to do exactly this.

I don't usually talk about my blog here, but I do write short devotional articles and insights nearly every day. This is part of how I see an avenue of support developing and I would love for you to be a part of this. Here is Thursday's entry: Stories to Be Written where I talk about living the adventure of faith and some ways you can help me in these steps.

Thank you all for your love, prayer, and support. Many great things are happening and many challenges are also present, but Jesus has overcome it all. Thanks for you help and reading this short note. Please go check out the link above as well.


Multiplied blessings,




Pastor Jason

Sunday morning fellowships

Every Sunday morning we are blessed with a time to fellowship with coffee, tea and pastries. Jeannita and Susan has graciously said 'yes' to the Lord and prepares the table for us. They are extending the invitation to you if you would like to be a part of this by preparing & bringing a favorite coffee cake or pastry for Sunday mornings. You may contact them directly at jeannita.stasyszen@alaska.gov or innkeeper@beachsidevilla.com to let them know when & what you can do, so that they will know how to better prepare from Sunday to Sunday. Thank you for your prayerful consideration and God bless! See you soon.

The weekend and beyond at Breakthrough

From Pastor Jason - We are headed out early Friday morning to spend some time visiting family and doing some fun stuff. We'll be in Oklahoma Saturday to see family and I'll be ministering at Family of Faith church in Shawnee on Sunday. We head to Kentucky on Wednesday to visit with Andrea's family until we drive back to Dallas so that Andrea can attend her teacher's training that starts Monday 6/21. Thank you for your prayers as we travel and as we minister! We will be praying for you as well. Juneau is in revival and we are so close to breakthrough. Come expecting grace and miracles!

Pastor Daymond will be preaching for the next couple weeks. He'll be ministering on intimacy with God. Everybody is encouraged to be there.

Prayers for Shelly - As a result of the anesthesia used in surgery last week, Shelly has not been able to drink nor eat. She is currently dehydrated and need to be able to keep her food & liquids down. Please pray God's healing power for Shelly for a speedy end to this current state.

Prayer tonight - at Breakthrough Church at 6:30pm

Lyndsay will be leaving us, returning home to North Carolina on Monday night to pursue further education in her career in speech pathology. We will miss her and speak God's blessings to her as she goes. If you'd like to spend time with her or contact her you can do so by calling 919-225-7642 or lnb41285@yahoo.com

Good morning Breakthrough family!

July 4th falls on Sunday this year. Instead of our normal Sunday worship service, we will have Saturday July 3rd worship service. It is scheduled for the same time, 10:30am.

After the service on Saturday, we will have a Breakthrough family barbeque! Pastor Jason would like to have a variety of meats which includes but not limited to ribs, chicken & sausage. Of course hot dogs and burgers can be included. Other dishes or items needed would include potato salad, coleslaw, buns, baked beans,lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, mayo, mustard, ketchup, desserts, drinks, etc, etc. Pastor Jason & Andrea have a grill, but we may need 1 - 2 more. We'll need coolers filled with ice for drinks. We'll be set up for outdoor games for all.

Please feel free to invite family & friends to come out and be a part of this fun-filled family Fourth of July celebration as we worship and thank our God for this our land of America in which we are so blessed to live in. We will begin a sign up sheet soon.

Thursday Night and Prayer Requests

Thursday night at Breakthrough Church:

Tomorrow night will be a work night at Breakthrough. Pastor Jason has invited us all to dinner and then we will spend some time moving the remainder of our belongings from the container. The more hands and backs we have, the better.

A big pot of beans is on for dinner. We already have rice and cornbread. So, please bring anything else you can think of to help complete the meal.

Prayer requests:

Shelly will be having surgery on Friday morning for the removal of kidney stones. Also, Jesse's future brother-in- law, John is having digestive system problems and has been in the hospital since Sunday. They're still not sure what is the cause. Please pray God's healing power, wisdom and peace in both of these situations. Thank you for praying.

See you Thursday night!
