Men’s Winter Retreat: The Heart of a Man
A Picture of Ministry in Alaska
The rhythms of life in Alaska and northern Canada are a blend of old and new world cultures.

Fishing and hunting, chopping wood, maintaining vehicles, and helping others with home projects are not back-burner activities, […]

Up to now their attempts to fly there had been stopped either by weather or scheduling conflicts. After hours of preparation and waiting, their plans, once again, appeared to […]
