Focal Point Alaska: A Northern Ministry Chronicle

by Gary V. Lidholm

An early retirement opportunity from my forestry career with the U.S. Forest Service lead to a missionary and pastoral ministry on the Last Frontier. My experiences in Christian camping, pastoring a small rural church and serving with an aviation support ministry have led me to relate some of these experiences to better prepare Christian workers who might feel called to serve in Alaska and the Far North. The remote, harsh environment and cultural conditions encountered with the indigenous people in “bush” Alaska require a special preparedness unique to most ministry situations. Hopefully my experience in Alaska will not only be entertaining but be of help to those who feel called to minister in this underserved area.
