Our Missions Base

Since we purchased our land in 2017, God has provided through His people to build our missions base.

In Phases One – Nine (2017 – 2025), we cleared land, built our Cookshack, Bunkhouse, Waterhouse, Lumber Shed and gave the old house that came with the property a total makeover. We have a full-time couple working as Base Directors – living in the house and now we have a new House Garage and a Main Garage.

Phase Ten (2026) – We plan to finish these two new garages in 2026 with new wood siding and stonework around the base of each building as well as finishing them inside. We will also be transforming the 1st floor of the Bunkhouse into more living area after all the garage related shelving and tools is moved to the new Main Garage.

Purpose of Our Missions Base

All of our teams spend their first night in Alaska here after flying in from the lower 48. After getting a good night’s sleep, they often travel hundreds of miles to their team’s assignment.

This map (above) shows the locations of some of the ministries that we work with. Our base provides tools (vehicles, trailers and hand tools) that are vital in serving a network of local churches, Bible camps and ministries that we have partnered with since 1995. Our “Values Statement” says:

Our missionary emphasis is defined by prayerful direction from the Holy Spirit, a commitment to excellence in accomplishing every task, the attention to detail and integrity in communication with others, the careful stewarding of the tools and resources entrusted to us, and the faithful pursuit of building lifelong partnerships to keep the Body of Christ strong.

Thank you!

To date, all of these developments have been accomplished without debt. We thank and praise the LORD for this and thank each of you who gave and served with us in obedience to His call. We give you our word that we will continue to be faithful and accountable to Him.

There is much more to do!  Alaska is an incredibly large place with deep spiritual needs. What has been provided so far is very encouraging but we need to set new goals.

Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen.
