ALASKA MISSION NEWS




Jeremy and Lacey Crowell, Home missions servants in Alaska, are the proud parents of baby boy Malachi Michael, He arrived April 26th, at 4:53 pm and weighed in at 7 lbs 8 oz. with 19.5 inches in stature. Pastor Jeremy Crowell graduated from the AFLC Seminary in 2010 and is also a certified and licensed pilot and flight instructor. They join the Swanson’s and the Lee’s with aviation support.


According to the Home Missions website, our missionaries in Naknek, Alaska live in a remote region, a long, long way from any feasible shopping options. Groceries and basic supplies come by barge. The parsonages, the KAKN radio station, and the churches face ongoing needs that donations can help supply.

For example, the radio station where the Lee's and Crowell's live desperately needs a water filtration system for the heavy iron and mineral content. Some newer furniture would also be a blessing, some of the station apartments have furniture from the 50's that is falling apart. Other needs include a dishwasher, full spectrum sun lamps for the dark Alaskan winter days, and dishware for the church. Any gifts to the Alaska Project account will help fund these special needs.
