May 28 – June 6, 2027
This team will be working hard to lay a foundation for our final large construction project at our missions base. Our desire is to build this new addition for our Bunkhouse that will expand our dining area and provide a large room for future meetings as well. If you have been to our Bunkhouse before, you will see the kitchen and bathroom (to the left) in this drawing. That 10′ opening to the new dining/meeting area will be what this Foundation Team will be preparing.
Take time to visit our “2027 Estimates” page and view the detailed plan for this addition.

We are very excited about starting this final major addition in 2027! Please pray for laborers for this team and the financial provision to complete this work. The Framing Team will be arriving the week after this team.
The cost of this trip is $2,300.
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.
If you write your own support letter, download and include this QR code in your letter. This link will give them the option of donating to your missions trip via PayPal. Encourage people to write your name with their PayPal donation. You can also direct them to visit this page to find this link in order to give to your missions trip support.
The first financial deadline for half your support ($1,150.00) is due on March 28, 2027. 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 28, 2027. 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 2027!
