 <\/span><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

I need to shift gears today to share the tale of a man whose\nrole in the outpouring of Holy Spirit in the arctic was so integral.  Last\nweek I talked about Paul Patkotak<\/span>, his son Steven,\nwho saw the pillar of light\/fire that drew him from some 20 miles away to\nrespond to the Lord, as well as his other two sons, Simeon and Billy.<\/span><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

This\nis the story of a modern apostle Paul -- one whose life, whose adventures, and\nwhose persistent faith was no less dramatic and impacting than that of the\nwriter of the New Testament epistles.  It's not a short story, so let's\nget right to it.<\/p>\n

The year was 1891. It was a hard winter \u2013 one of those kind of winters where it\nturns cold early and where, under normal circumstances because of the cold\ntemperatures, you tend to get less snow. This winter was not one of the winters\nwith less snow \u2013 especially on Wrangell Island.<\/p>\n

Situated nearly 900 miles straight west of Barrow, Alaska in the Chukchi Sea,\nnorth of the Siberian Peninsula, Wrangell Island was one of those remote places\nin the world occupied only by the Inupiat \u2013 and then used only as a primary\nbase from which to hunt seal, walrus and whales, catch the occasional Eider\nDuck and Arctic Tern, and fish during the three or four months of the year when\nthe rivers and lakes weren\u2019t frozen over.<\/p>\n

Alaksurak<\/span> and Kignak<\/span> were\nhusband and wife. (Don\u2019t try to pronounce their names, it\u2019ll drive you crazy.\nOur English spelling only approximates the actual pronunciation.)  They\nstruggled for an existence in conditions that we would consider impossible.<\/p>\n

The winter of 1891 was no exception.  Because of the early snow and hard\nfreeze, Alaksurak<\/span> had not been able catch enough game\nto last him and his wife through the winter.  By November, with the dark\nseason approaching quickly, his supply of fish and seal meat was running low.\nFinding the occasional caribou, or hunting the polar bear in those conditions\nwas increasingly difficult.<\/p>\n

Kignak<\/span> was expecting a child, and the day came when\nshe gave birth. Alaksurak<\/span> returned from an unfruitful\nday of hunting for seal to find  that he was a father. \u201cWe can\u2019t keep\nhim,\u201d he said to Kignak<\/span>. \u201cPut him in the snow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eskimo tradition for centuries had demanded that if children were born into a\nworld where there was an insufficient supply of food, they were considered\n\u201cextra.\u201d They were expendable. One could always have more children later when\nconditions permitted. Girls, especially, were considered non-essential. Boys\ncould grow up and begin hunting when they were six or seven years old, but\ngirls\u2026...well, that was different. They were simply put out on the ice floes to\nfreeze to death.<\/p>\n

(This is an aside from my story, but this is essentially how I came by my first\ndaughter, Deborah. Her Eskimo mother couldn\u2019t care for her and came to me\nbefore she was born, asking me if I would adopt her at birth. My first reaction\nwas to not adopt, but after the baby was born, the grandparents again\napproached me to adopt saying, \u201cshe\u2019s just extra.\u201d I adopted her when she was\nfive months old.)<\/p>\n

For Kignak<\/span>, the thought of putting her newborn son in\nthe snow was absolutely intolerable. Traditions aside, she felt that this\nlittle boy was a gift from a God for whom she had great reverence, but didn\u2019t\nknow.<\/p>\n

\u201cPut him in the snow,\u201d Alaksurak<\/span> again demanded. \u201cWe\nhave no food for him. Better he should freeze to death now than suffer\nstarvation with us.\u201d It went against every native tradition, but Kignak<\/span> stood her ground. \u201cNo! We will have enough food. You\nwill see.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thus did a little boy come into this world who at first was given only one\nname, Patkotak<\/span>. Somehow, the family made it through\nthat winter, and the next, and the next. Patkotak<\/span> was\njoined in life by more brothers, and they grew to become hunters like their\nfather.<\/p>\n

Surnames were unnecessary in those days. Everyone had only one name. It didn\u2019t\nmatter, really. Because of the extreme conditions and incredibly hard life,\naverage life expectancy ranged between 28 and 35 years. Anyone older than 35\nwas considered quite old!<\/p>\n

As the years went by, Alaksurak<\/span> and Kignak<\/span> took their family across the Chukchi Sea toward\nWainwright and Barrow, traveling by dog sled. Barrow, it turned out, was a\nprime hunting ground. As the farthest north tip of land on the contiguous North\nAmerican continent, it provided an ideal place for the currents in the Arctic\nOcean to bring whales, walrus, ooguruk<\/span> (a very large\nbearded seal) and other sea life. It was the path of natural migration for\nEider Ducks and the Arctic Tern, both of which served as a staple in the diet\nof the Inupiat.<\/p>\n

In the late 1890\u2019s, a Presbyterian missionary by the name of Sheldon Jackson\nmade his way to Barrow on one of the San Francisco-based whaling ships that\nplied those waters in search of the bowhead or baleen whales. He established a\nmission at Barrow where the young Patkotak<\/span> was\nexposed to the Gospel of Jesus Christ for the first time in his life.<\/p>\n

Sheldon Jackson moved on to establish other missions, and called for Dr.\nHoratio Marsh and his wife to take the mission in Barrow. The Marshes\nestablished a public school and began to teach the children of the community to\nread, write, and learn basic arithmetic. That wasn\u2019t easy, considering that \u2013\nexcept for the whalers who stopped occasionally \u2013 the language of the region\nwas Inupiat, or some other dialect of the Inuit.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Marsh became young Patkotak\u2019s<\/span> first teacher, and\ntaught him to speak English. One day she asked him, \u201cDo you have any other name\nbesides Patkotak<\/span>?\u201d He said, \u2018No.\u201d \u201cThen we are going\nto name you after the apostle Paul. From now on, you will be known as Paul Patkotak<\/span>.\u201d The name stuck, and in later years everyone\nwould realize that it was prophetic.<\/p>\n

In 1911, Paul began a trek south to sell a growing pile of valuable furs.\nTraveling first by dog team, then by whaling ship, and finally by one of the\nships owned by the Seattle-based Alaska Steamship Company, he eventually made\nit to Seattle. He had to trade some of his valuable Arctic Blue Fox furs for\nhis transportation, but he still arrived with 14 pelts to sell. At roughly\n$5.00 per pelt, that would give him a fair amount of money, and he could exist\nfor a long time on it.<\/p>\n

The Christian foundations that had been laid in his life by the Marshes now\nbegan to be built upon as he sat through two winters at what was then called\nSeattle Free Methodist Seminary (now Seattle Pacific University). In 1913, he\nwent to Portland where he happened upon an Apostolic Faith mission. Here, he\nwas exposed to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit which had begun at the Azusa\nStreet Mission in Los Angeles in 1906.<\/p>\n

The infilling of the Holy Spirit set ablaze a passion for Jesus Christ and a\nburning desire to see salvation come to family and friends scattered from Cape\nPrince of Wales to Tuktoyaktuk<\/span> in the Northwest \nTerritories and even westward to campsites in the Amundsen Gulf.<\/p>\n

Now about 25 years old, Paul headed back north to share that fire burning\nwithin him. His immediate family and friends had accepted Jesus Christ at the\nPresbyterian mission in Barrow, and they were glad to see his return. They were\nnot glad, however, to see that young Paul was a firebrand.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve become a fanatic,\u201d they complained. The Marshes were gone from Barrow,\nbut other missionaries were there who had heard about Paul from the Marshes.\nThey were glad to meet him, but puzzled by this unusual presence they felt with\nhim. When he opened his mouth to share the Gospel with others in the Inupiat\nlanguage, however, it was the first time many of them had heard the message of\nsalvation in their own tongue. The new missionaries welcomed Paul as a\nfellow-minister of the Gospel despite the fact that he held no papers with any\norganization.<\/p>\n

Paul felt that the good news of Jesus Christ needed to get outside the four\nwalls of the church and looked for a place to begin preaching. 10 or 12 miles\nnorth of the village of Barrow was a sand spit known as Point Barrow. It was a\nnarrow strip of land that tailed out to the east where hunters liked to\ncongregate. It was a perfect spot to hunt birds. So Paul set up a campsite at\nPoint Barrow where he began to preach the gospel to his fellow-Inupiat folks.<\/p>\n

Everyone smiled as he preached and nodded their heads in affirmation of his\nmessage, but few actually responded to the invitation to accept Jesus Christ.\nIn the years that followed, he met a Canadian Inuit woman named Ethel. The love\nbetween them was nearly instantaneous, and they married soon thereafter.<\/p>\n

Now Paul had a companion, a counterpart, someone who loved him and loved the\nLord Jesus Christ as much as he did. She defied native convention, traveling\nwith him as he went from village to village, campsite to campsite, preaching\nand teaching. When she became pregnant, it was apparent that they needed a more\npermanent home, and Ethel set up housekeeping for them in Barrow. She went to\nwork as a teacher\u2019s aide \u2013 again defying native convention.<\/p>\n

Paul continued his travels by dog team across the arctic coast, even reaching\nBanks Island and Victoria Island in the far north arctic waters only a few\nhundred miles from the North Pole. Everywhere he went, he preached, he prayed,\nhe interceded, he invited folks to come to know Jesus Christ. And, for the most\npart, people listened intently, clapped their hands when he finished preaching\nand praying for them, smiled cordially at his presentation, and ignored the\nmessage of salvation.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, Ethel bore him five children, Billy, Simeon, Steven, Elizabeth\nand Olive. Paul began to reduce the amount of time he traveled from village to\nvillage in order to be with his growing family, but he continued his travels\nnonetheless.<\/p>\n

Wainwright became home to Paul, Ethel and their children. The lack of response\nfrom the native community was discouraging, but he continued undaunted. As his\nsons and daughters became teenagers, they found themselves ridiculed by their\ngeneration. Their father, after all, was an odd duck among the Inupiat and the\nInuit. Shamanism and witchcraft had been so much a part of their culture for\ncenturies that the message of Jesus Christ and deliverance from such demonic\nactivity was untenable.<\/p>\n

The demonic roots of shamanism were so ingrained in their DNA that they feared\nanything which took them away from it. Fear ruled the north.<\/p>\n

The Fear of Death, the Fear of Evil, the Fear of Man all pervaded the culture\nand lifestyle of the north. The fact that Paul Patkotak<\/span>\nexhibited none of those fears made him a person to be feared.<\/p>\n

As the years continued, Paul\u2019s children found that it was easier just to go\nalong with cultural tide and drifted into the practices of past generations.\nPaul and Ethel were brokenhearted, but absolutely determined that their\nchildren were going to know Jesus Christ as they knew Him. Eventually, Paul \u2013\nnow in his fifties \u2013 restricted his travels from village to village, only\ntraveling and preaching as he felt specifically instructed by the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n

1957 came and Paul was now past his 65th birthday. Barrow had become our home.\nDad was enlarging the church built a couple years before. Someone else had\nfinally come to Barrow to preach that same message Paul had been preaching for\nyears and years \u2013 the message that the infilling of the Holy Spirit as it\noccurred on the day of Pentecost was still available to Christians in the same\nway, and with the same demonstration as had occurred nearly 2,000 years before.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve already shared with you how the Holy Spirit began to be poured out in\nBarrow in a manner that rivaled anything you can read in the book of Acts. It\u2019s\nnow the late fall of 1957, and the move of the Holy Spirit is in full bloom.\nSteven Patkotak<\/span>, Paul\u2019s son, has been out hunting and\nreturns to Barrow as he sees the shaft of light\/fire over the church. His wife,\nJane, has already been in those meetings. She has no way to tell Steven what\nhas happened to her and how she has been changed by the presence of the Lord.<\/p>\n

The visible display over the church drew Steven immediately. That night, he too\nfound the peace that had escaped him for most of his life. He found the same\njoy his father, Paul, had always displayed, always talked about, but he had\nnever experienced because of his personal rebellion in his youth.<\/p>\n

Word spread to Wainwright, of course, of what had been happening. Paul couldn\u2019t\nwait for a bush plane and harnessed his dog team. Driving his dogs the 94 miles\nfrom Wainwright, he arrived in Barrow in time for one of the evening meetings.\nAs he walked into the church and saw the place packed almost to the walls with\npeople singing, rejoicing, praising God, the tears burst forth on his face like\na geyser.<\/p>\n

Once he entered the church, he never stopped until he had stepped over people\nseated on the floor to make his way to the front. He grabbed my father by the\nshoulders, hugged him and wept. \u201cBrother Capener<\/span>!\nBrother Capener<\/span>! You are the answer to forty years of\nprayer and intercession.\u201d<\/p>\n

Watching Paul Patkotak<\/span> hug my father that night and\nweep tears of unutterable joy, I had no idea of the foundations he had laid,\nnor the years he had labored with so little to show. In the weeks, months, and\nyears that followed, Paul shared with us how he had prayed, how he had\npreached, how he had traveled across the arctic slope to share the message of\nsalvation and the baptism of the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n

Paul had a simple, but very profound faith. He had the goods to back his faith.\nPaul Patkotak<\/span> had been transformed some 40-plus years\nbefore from a young man steeped in shamanism in a culture of fear to a man\nvibrant in his faith and confidence toward Jesus Christ. Though few listened to\nhim during those years he traveled and preached, and though even fewer still\nresponded to his message of faith and power, he never once lost sight of the\nneed for the transforming life in Christ among his people. He never ceased to\npray and intercede daily for his family, for his friends, and for people who\ndotted the northland.<\/p>\n

Paul Patkotak<\/span> was a modern-day apostle Paul. Once the\nspiritual dam broke, and we saw the outpouring of the Holy Spirit begin in\nBarrow, others followed my father. Paul Bills came behind us in Barrow. There\nwas Cecelia Piper who went to Wainwright. There was Agnes Rodli<\/span>\nwho went to Kaktovik<\/span>, and on to Tuktoyaktuk<\/span>.\nThere was Don Webster, the Wycliffe Bible translator who spent years in\nWainwright, translating the Bible into the Inupiat language. There was Dwain\nMcKenzie (with whom I pastored<\/span> on two occasions, and\nhas been a lifelong friend and brother in the Lord) who twice ministered in\nBarrow and also served at Point Hope and Fort Yukon.<\/p>\n

Paul Patkotak<\/span> served as my father\u2019s translator in\nBarrow, then in Wainwright when we moved there to build a church, and again at\nPoint Hope for a time when we moved there to build a church.  He was able\nto see with his own eyes the transformation of hundreds, if not thousands, of people\nwho had listened to him and not responded, along with those who had mocked and\nridiculed his faith.  He saw as his own sons and daughters came to know\nJesus Christ, experiencing the faith and power of Jesus Christ in their lives\nas he had known.<\/p>\n

Comparing notes with Paul one day, we realized that there was not one place\nwhere we built in Alaska where Paul had not stopped at some point in his\njourneys and preached.  When Dad took note of the day and time that God\nhad called him in an audible voice and said to him, \u201cI want you to go to Alaska\nfor me,\u201d he realized that God\u2019s call came when Paul began to intercede for the\npeople he was preaching to.<\/p>\n

Paul had wept and said, \u201cBrother Capener<\/span>, you are the\nanswer to my prayers.\u201d  Dad, in turn, said to Paul, \u201cBrother Paul, I\nwouldn\u2019t be in Alaska if it were not for you and your faithful\nintercession.  The harvest we see and are reaping is the product of your\nsowing and tears.  God has heard your cries and we are here.  And the\nHoly Spirit is being poured out.\u201d<\/p>\n

I look back to my years of ministry in Alaska and consider the miracles I have\nseen.  I consider my years involved in bringing Christian television\nbroadcasting to Alaska. Lives were changed.  Communities were\ntransformed.  The arctic today may yet be an inhospitable place in terms\nof climate, but the spirit of Alaska has changed.<\/p>\n

Paul Patkotak<\/span>, the modern apostle Paul, went to be\nwith the Lord just after his 91st birthday in November, 1982.  The message\nhe preached, and the gallons of tears he shed on behalf of Alaskans and\nnorthern Canadians for some 70 years, are directly responsible for the\ntransformation that continues to sweep through the north.<\/p>\n

I owe him. More than words can express. So do thousands of other Christians\nscattered from Russia to Alaska to Canada to Greenland.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

We\nwill continue this next week.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

I remind those of you\nin need of ministry that our Healing Prayer Call takes place on Mondays at 7:00\nPM Eastern (4:00 PM Pacific).  Our call-in number has changed to <\/span>(712) 775-7035.  <\/span>The new Access Code is: <\/span>323859#.<\/span>   For Canadians who have difficulty getting in to\nthis number, you can call<\/span>(559) 546-1400<\/span>.  If someone answers and asks what your\noriginal call-in number was, you can give them the 712 number and access code.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

At the same time, in\ncase you are missing out on real fellowship in an environment of Ekklesia<\/span>, our Sunday worship gatherings are available by\nconference call \u2013 usually at about 10:45AM Pacific.  That conference\nnumber is <\/span>(605) 562-3140<\/span>, and the access code is <\/span>308640#.<\/span>  We hope to make these gatherings available by Skype or\nTalk Fusion before long.  If you miss the live call, you can dial <\/span>(605) 562-3149<\/span>, enter the same access code and listen in later.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Blessings\non you!<\/b><\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n
