Alaska Mission for Christ

In the early 90's, we moved to Juneau, Alaska.  The Alaska Mission Committee 

was in its early stages. While we were not involved with the day to day, it was certainly exciting to hear about and pray for the progress of this unusual ministry when we attended the Alaska conferences.  Pastor Chris Reinke, Pastor Ken Schauer and his wife Sandi, were instrumental in creating what has now become the Alaska Mission for Christ.  Hundreds of volunteers travel to Alaska each summer to serve in the small villages of Alaska.  When we first met Rick and Tori, we were excited to learn of their summer ministry as part of the Alaska Mission for Christ.  The Hanson's travel from Everett, Washington, to towns like Hoonah, Angoon, Tenakee, Wrangell, and even Juneau, in their boat "Living Water." They, along with other volunteers lead vacation Bible school, Basketball Camps and Bible studies using their gifts to serve. Rick is contagious as he talks with great animation about their mission work in Alaska.  

So, here we are more than ten years later seeing how big an unusual idea can be.  Please visit the link above to see what is going on with The Alaska Mission for Christ, you might find yourself drawn to Alaska.
