Ski the Light

Mark Zweifel, our Youth Director, is going to be skiing a nordic marathon on March 4, all to raise money for Speed the Light!  Mark's goal is to raise $10,000 for Speed the Light.  Will you consider pledging to help Mark with his goal?  He has been working very hard to train for this event.  You can find pledge forms here.

New Position for Pastor Vanilau

We had a great lunch with Pastor Vanilau (pictured right) and his son, Al.  Pastor Vanilau is the President of the Alaska Assemblies of God Samoan Fellowship, but is also the President of the National AG Samoan Fellowship.  He represents the National Samoan Fellowship on the General Council General Presbytery.

Pastor Vanilau is Pastor of Anchorage Samoan AG.  He shared his heart for the Samoan people who live here in Alaska.  He wants them to know Jesus.  He also expressed appreciation for the fellowship they have with the people of the Alaska Ministry Network.  We appreciate Pastor Vanilau and his dedication and commitment to the call of God.  His ministry has produced much fruit!  Something new I learned about Pastor Vanilau is that he had an opportunity to be a professional rugby player, but chose to follow the call of God in ministry instead.
