Alaska Missions

For the last three summers I have been a camp counselor for three weeks in Western Alaska at a small bible camp called Kako Retreat Center. Kako is located just 6 miles off of the Yukon river on an old gold mine.

The name 'Kako' is a yupik word for clay. It is a reminder that God is the potter and we are the clay. The purpose of Kako is to be a light in the Eskimo and Native communities in the Yukon Delta area of Alaska.

This video shows a Cessna 2182 landing at Kako. The airstrip requires precise and accurate skills by pilots to land safely as it is very challenging.

Consider the Gospel

"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." -Ephesians 2:8-9
