Pastor Eldon and Gloria Hicks and Anchorage Native Assembly have been feeding the homeless and hungry on Sundays since 2003. It is an incredible ministry, and they have fed up to 300 at one time. Lucas Dawson created a moving pictorial video displayed below that captures the spirit of the ministry that is occurring.

AK Women Around the State
Alaska Women are unlimited in the many ways they help others. The Homer A/G ladies group found a unique way to assist our village churches. Karen Newell and her ladies caught a vision that was cast at a AKWU event last year and had fun doing it. They prepared a “ Conference in a box” using the 2011 AKWU theme “Thrive”. This CIAB has everything you need as a church to offer a small women’s conference in your community. These women gathered and produced, with the help of Terry Hull, teaching DVD’s, crafts, prizes, and so much more, to reach the women of the villages and bless them. Each box provides detail instruction of how to have a “Thrive” Conference in your community. There are only a few Conference in a Box Kits available and it will be first come first served. They are mailed free of charge to a church willing to use it. We ask that if you request and receive one of these Conference in a box kits, that you document your conference and send pictures and comments to vreneeduncan@gmail.com & gnewell@ideafamilies.org

Holy Spirit Conference
The Holy Spirit Conference was excellent this year. The speakers were Dr. Joseph Castleberry, Dr. RT Kendall, Pastor Edgardo Montano, and several Pastors from El Salvador who came to participate in the services. Special thanks to Pastor Kent and Pastor Fay for helping to host this event.
There were several themes that the Holy Spirit wove together through this conference. Dr. Kendall spoke of the need to marry the power of God with the Word of God in the church today. He dealt primarily with the moving of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament. Dr. Castleberry spoke about generosity and how generous the Spirit is. Pastor Montano and other El Salvadorian Pastors dealt with several of the spiritual gifts listed in the Bible.
There was a weighty stirring in the Spirit that God is doing something in our midst. The El Salvadorian Pastors are excited about the opportunity to partner together to reach the many Hispanics living in Anchorage.

Interim Pastors in Sitka
I was in Sitka last weekend to preach and assist with some bookkeeping items. After Pastor Steve left to accept a pastorate in Kansas, Pastor Dale and Beth Parker agreed to be interim Pastors in Sitka as the church conducts their pastoral search. They are being a tremendous blessing to the church in Sitka and are being very well received. It was his birthday while I was there, and we got to help celebrate.

Pastoral Installation
Pastor Shannon and Lindsey Alarid were installed as the Pastors of Matanuska Assembly of God in Palmer yesterday. They were elected as Pastors on October 30. Pastor Bill Welch conducted the installation service, and his wife Dori was present as well. Pastor Bill preached from the text 1 Peter 5 about the job description of the Pastor. We are very excited for the future of this congregation as we see what the Lord will do. It is a great body of believers. I(Brad) am very proud of Pastor Shannon and Lindsey and know they will do very well in Palmer.

AKSOM
AKSOM classes went great yesterday. We had two classes at King's Way Ministry Center in Eagle River and one class in Fairbanks. I (Brad) taught Church Administration, Law, and Finance, and Ed Ash produced the class. This is a fun class to teach.
Pastor Jack Aiken taught the Ephesians class, and Susan Cogan produced the class, assisted by Lattis Campbell. Pastor Jack wrote the book for this class, and it was received very well by the students. We are very excited to have this book available. You can purchase the book either as a hard copy or an electronic download. We recommend this book to you.
