We kicked off the Alaska Ministry Network Conference in 2011 with the Alaska Missions Celebration Banquet at the Egan Center on Monday night. It was an exciting event that focused on Alaska Missions and raising money for a new church facility in Kotlik.
The jazz band from Muldoon Community Assembly blessed us with great music during the event.
Pastor Austin Jones of Emmonak stirred our hearts with faith and encouraged us that there is indeed fruit in the land!
Pastor Max Wiltshire, of Australian Aboriginal Outreach Ministries, was the keynote speaker and delivered a fantastic message. He spoke of the important need to reach the Alaska Natives with the Gospel of Christ, and that it is our responsibility.
Pastor Kent Redfearn of Muldoon Community Assembly led the charge in gathering pledges and receiving the offering for the new building in Kotlik. He challenged us to be "All In" with our giving and pledges. He presented greetings and encouragement from Superintendent George Wood, Governor Sean Parnell, and former Alaska District Superintendents Roland Peretti and Jack Bransford. Several churches presented pledges of financial support for this project, a couple of which are pictured below. Thanks Pastor Kent for all your help and for helping make this a success. We were amazed at the over $50,000 cash offering and $134,000 that was pledged. What an amazing display of faith and obedience on the part of the Pastors and churches of the Alaska Ministry Network. Thanks for being All In!!!
Pastor Jimmy and Maggie Okitkun are the Pastors of Kotlik Assembly of God and are doing a very good job there. They spoke and also led us in a song.
