Over the river and through the woods

A year ago we jumped at the invite to spend this Christmas with friends in another region of this country, for fun and also to explore it as a possible ministry destination. Since our arrival to this sunny paradise ten days ago our hosts have shared a lot of local fun with us including snorkelling with tropical […]

Future Pilot

April 23, 2014

Sidney’s long standing interest in flying was firmly established when in 2011, at the age of ten, he was briefly handed the controls of a float plane. It was an amazing experience he will never forget. Dawn and I obviously are passionate about missions and would love to see our kids one day follow in […]

Sidney Turns Thirteen

April 3, 2014

A month ago we passed a milestone in the Bakken family as Sidney’s 13th Birthday began the exciting era of teenagers in our home! Such a significant occasion needed an equally significant celebration with manly proportions of risk, challenge and adventure – an overnight mountain snowmobile trip with his dad, grandpa, brother, and four friends.

Quesnel with Sidney

October 7, 2013

With each of the trips with my kids there were a few fun and special things in store for us – even though I didn’t know what they were when we started. Sidney and I enjoyed a couple rounds of tennis at West Fraser park while we were in Quesnel. We didn’t plan it but […]

After a brief 3-day turn around in Clearwater, Cassia joined me to return to Grande Prairie and continue the trek east via McLennan, Edmonton, and Coronation, stopping in Canmore on the way home.

Corianna and I enjoyed a 2000 km tour through Chetwynd, Fort St. John, Dawson Creek and Grand Prairie. This was the first of several ten day trips; heading out at the start of one weekend and returning at the end of the next. As we reconnected with golden friends and supporters we made great new […]

Goodbye Trailer

Goodbye Trailer

July 18, 2013

Back in 2010, as we were preparing to go to Ontario for missionary training in Durham, we decided the best way to get there was to take our time, stop to see family and friends, and get a summer family vacation in as we traveled across the country. The solution, which the Lord provided at […]
