May 16 – 25 This team is filled.
We are excited to help YWAM Fairbanks this year with some greatly needed maintenance projects around their base. Several of our LightShine Alaska teams have stayed there in the past and we want to partner with them. Take time to watch this video and consider being part of this team.
If you’ve never heard of Youth With a Mission (YWAM) before, take time to watch this video:
This team is greatly needed to help this YWAM base in Fairbanks with their general maintenance needs. This is what we do!
Tom Law will be leading this team from Pennsylvania and co-leading in Alaska. Tom is a veteran team leader and amazing cook. You will eat well on this team! Contact Tom if you want to join this team. His email is: Tlaw@grmitchell.com or you can call him at: 717-278-0690
Bob Neuenschwander will be co-leading this team in Alaska. Bob is our Base Director and he and his wife Angie live at the LightShine Alaska Missions Base.
The cost of this trip is $1975.
Our trip cost covers everything you need once you leave your home until you return. The total is determined by analyzing the cost of team assignments from previous years (things like your airline ticket, ground transportation, three meals a day, and many administrative fees that LightShine incurs) and combining that experience with known costs in Alaska.
If you want to be part of this team, please complete this Registration Form with a $40 registration fee. This fee covers the cost of a LightShine Alaska team shirt and locks you in as a team member. Once you are contacted by your team leader and your place is secured on this team, you can begin raising financial support by sending out support letters to your family and church friends. Simply have them send missionary support to us for your trip costs. Your team leader will help you develop your support letter and include two important dates for your supporters to note. The first financial deadline for half your support ($987.50) is due on April 4, 2025. This first deadline is very important to keep because it will enables us to purchase your airline tickets. Once airline tickets are purchased, there is no backing out of the team. The second deadline for your entire amount is April 18, 2025. Please note that these deadlines are strictly enforced. Not keeping them will cause us to ask you to step down from this team and consider another future team. Please take time to review our “Policies” page for more information.
The earlier you register the sooner you can start raising your financial support. We encourage you to get this out of the way early so you can enjoy the experience without any distractions. You will be so glad you did! A side benefit on this trip is seeing God’s beautiful creation and spending time working in it. This will be a life changing experience for you and will give you a new perspective on helping those who are really in need!
“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9
Thank you for considering going with us in 2025!
