Faithful in the Small Things

“He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much.”
—Luke 16:10 (KJV)

Not every act of service is dramatic or easily noticed. Much of the work that matters most is found in ordinary moments—a phone call returned, a concern carefully heard, a room prepared, a patient reassured, or a task completed with care.

God does not measure faithfulness by how visible our work may be. He sees the quiet acts of obedience, kindness, and responsibility that others may never recognize.

At our clinics, every role and every task contributes to the care of our patients and communities. When we approach even the smallest responsibility with compassion and excellence, we reflect the love of Christ through our work.

As we begin a new season, may we remain faithful in the work God has placed before us, trusting that He can use even the smallest act of service for a greater purpose.
Thanks to Dwight Phillips for this beautiful fall photo.

Today, we pause to remember September 11, 2001.

We remember the lives lost, the families whose lives were forever changed, and the first responders, healthcare workers, service members, and ordinary citizens who stepped forward with extraordinary courage.

Twenty-five years later, we still remember the strength and unity shown in the days that followed. May we continue to care for our neighbors, serve one another with compassion, and pray for our nation and for those who continue to carry the loss of that day.

“Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.” — Matthew 5:4 KJV

🇺🇸 We remember. We honor. We pray.

Do Not Grow Weary

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
—Galatians 6:9 (KJV)

In the first days of a crisis, needs are visible and help often comes quickly. Recovery, however, takes much longer.

For the families affected by the Mukluk Fire, the difficult work of rebuilding is only beginning. As days pass and attention moves elsewhere, they will continue to need prayer, encouragement, practical assistance, and the reassurance that they have not been forgotten.

God calls us not to grow weary in doing good. We may not be able to meet every need, but each meal provided, donation given, prayer offered, and act of kindness can bring hope to someone facing an uncertain future.

At our clinics, we are thankful to be part of communities where people continue to care for one another. May God give us faithful hearts and willing hands—not only in the urgency of a crisis, but throughout the long road toward recovery.



Thank you Hatfield for the beautiful photo!

As we look ahead to the end of the year, we want to take a moment to recognize Ruth Hunt, NP, and share a little more about the person behind the care she provides.
Ruth first joined Cross Road Medical Center in 2019 as an RN in the emergency room and urgent care. Her time in Glennallen became important in more ways than one—it was also where she met her husband and best friend, Derik!

After 11 years of nursing experience in the ICU, cardiac catheterization lab, emergency care, perioperative care, and international humanitarian deployments with Samaritan’s Purse, Ruth felt the Lord leading her to become a Nurse Practitioner. She completed her NP training at Cedarville University and then chose to return to rural Alaska to reconnect with people she knew and help fill an important need in our communities.

When Ruth returned, we knew she would be serving with us for only a short season before she and Derik moved to Michigan. That made us even more grateful that she was willing to come back and share her experience, compassion, and newly acquired skills with our patients and communities during this important time.

Ruth’s heart for healthcare is closely tied to her faith. She wants her patients to feel heard, cared for, and included as partners in their healthcare decisions. Most of all, she hopes each person she treats experiences the love of Jesus through the care they receive.

Outside the clinic, Ruth enjoys hiking, kayaking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, reading, cooking, and serving through her church and mission work. She also has a degree in music performance and sings and plays the piano and flute.

Ruth will continue serving with us through the end of this year. We are thankful she chose to return to our clinics as a Nurse Practitioner after previously serving with us as an RN. Although we knew this season would be brief, her service has made a meaningful difference.

Ruth, thank you for sharing this season with us. We pray God’s blessing over you and Derik as you begin your next chapter—and we hope the door will always remain open for us to serve together again in the future.

Hope After the Fire

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
—Psalm 46:1 (KJV)

The Mukluk Fire is now contained, and we are deeply thankful for the firefighters, emergency personnel, volunteers, organizations, and neighbors who worked so faithfully to protect the Tok community.

Containment brings relief, but it does not mean the hardship is over. Approximately 50 families lost their homes. They now face the painful work of sorting through what remains, finding places to live, replacing necessities, and rebuilding their lives.

Scripture reminds us that God is not distant during times of trouble. He is present—offering refuge to those who are grieving, strength to those who are weary, and hope when the way forward feels uncertain.

As the immediate emergency gives way to recovery, may we continue to surround these families with prayer, practical help, generosity, and steady support. The fire may be contained, but our care for one another must continue.

May God comfort every family who has suffered loss, strengthen those helping with recovery, and guide the Tok community through the days ahead.
