Heros v.1

This is my friend Norman Westdahl. Norman is an ordained Assembly of God minister who lives in Noatak. Some of you reading this blog might remember praying for Norman not too long ago. Norman was riding his snowmobile from Noatak to Kotzebue in order to install the new pastor there. Norman and his wife left Noatak just ahead of a severe blizzard that was blowing in. They would have made it safely but the snowmobile became stuck and they were unable to get it going before the blizzard struck. He said it was zero visibility. He and his wife were in great danger. They felt their way along a creek until they found a bank high enough to dig into and create a shelter out of the wind. They were pinned down by the storm for two nights! Searchers came the next morning and found them but the storm was not yet over. Even with help it was a real struggle to get to safety. Obviously prayer was a real factor in Norman and his wife's survival. Thanks for praying! Norman isn't my hero just because he survived a blizzard in a snowcave. No, Norman is a great man of God, gentle, gracious and kind. He preaches and teaches the Word of God anywhere he is given the opportunity. He has great integrity and I would trust him with anything. God bless you, Norman! God has great plans yet for you.
