Join us in the Arctic
              regions of Alaska! 

Housing is limited - Trip fills early - Don't Delay 

Bring your long-johns and join Alaska Missions in our eleventh year at the Iditarod finish line. Our task is two-fold: reach the Native culture as well as the musher sub-culture of Alaska.  You will cheer on mushers crossing the finish line, permeate the volunteer force of the Iditarod, go door to door delivering Bible-in-a-bucket to the community. We host the  concession stand at the Lonnie O'Conner Iditarod Basketball Classic, prayer walk, minister to village elders and host a kid's club. The ministry opportunities are endless. While in Nome, experience Muskox and other wildlife and if conditions are right the northern lights!       

Week two will start this year in Anchorage with a day of  orientation before you head to Nome. During week two in Nome, there is an added bonus in serving with Alaska Missions at the Iditarod Finish. We help host the Musher's Banquet, serving over 800 persons; in addition we host the Red Lantern Banquet, aiding the Iditarod Staff in the culminating activities and celebrations of this international event.
