(opens in a new tab)Real faith. Real winters. Real north. The Solbergs share daily hope, honest ministry, and life in Fort Smith, NWT — plus The Northward podcast for hope in your day.
Looking forward to preaching and sharing about our northern ministry across the greater New York area over the next four days. Please pray for us, and for Grandma who has to do a lot of wrangling a 2- and 4-year-old.
