Thanks for giving us the opportunity to tell the story. One thing I didn’t mention in the post is the commitment from Mobberly Baptist Church in Longview, TX. Three years before Anchorage was on my radar, this church was praying and fasting over the people of my city. If you want to visit with a pastor who is leading his church to be a church planting church you should contact Glynn Stone.

Keith, thanks for your honesty and insight. You’re not alone in having your eyes opened to Alaska’s need for the Gospel! Check out the previous featured article that also talks about Alaska and its need for church planters.

Thanks for this post. It was very insightful and eye opening. I think it is safe to say that for most of us, Alaska has never really been on our radar. We think as you indicated in your article about places like Washington and such but Alaska never enters the conversation. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and challenging us to get involved and onboard with reaching Alaska for Jesus. Now when I hear about Alaska I won’t just be thinking about a state known for it’s natural beauty and vast wilderness but a place that is spiritually dark and in desperate need of the Gospel.
