Greetings from the great state of Alaska!

We are missionaries here in Alaska! We serve alongside a group of believers who are on fire for Jesus and have a strong desire to see the great commission fulfilled in our generation.  We love living here in this beautiful state. The glory of God is on full display here in the land and people of Alaska at all times. Currently, we live in Palmer, AK on five acres with our 3 kids Dani, Tyler and Gavin.

A beautiful and intense land, Alaska has long, dark winters and life in the remote villages of Alaska can be hard as many struggle with generations of addiction and abuse. We long for these native people to know the love of God and experience the healing and freedom Jesus paid for on the cross.  As we go to the villages we are honored to partner with Holy Spirit and walk alongside people to bring hope, healing and deliverance to aid in the raising up of indigenous leaders who are equipped to lead the local people in their villages.

AARON:

While serving the homeless and ministering on the streets of Anchorage, AK, I saw many Alaska natives stuck in the city because of every type of abuse imaginable. This broke my heart, especially when the Lord brought me to homeless native veterans that I was to minister to and love on. This is particularly near and dear to my heart as I too am a combat veteran. When I saw so many struggling, I went to the Lord crying out on their behalf. The Lord showed me the way to change the cycle I saw in the streets of Anchorage.  I was to go to the source, to go to the people in their villages and to partner with the Lord to change the trajectory of people’s lives. This led me to who I currently serve with.  A group of radical believers who have laid their lives down for the gospel.  Frontier Alaska Missions (FAM).

DODI:

I was born and raised in Alaska, and am half Tlingit (an Alaskan Indian tribe). I was born to a 17 year old girl who gave her baby up to be adopted by a Christian family as an infant. As we traveled this last year to a village in Southeast Alaska, I felt like I was returning to my roots. I see the pain and grief held so long in people as I look into their eyes and I just long for them to know the true Comforter, Holy Spirit. It is my joy and honor to serve and love the people the Lord sends us to.

We have experienced the overwhelming mercy, grace and abundant love of God so that we may love people and discover God’s heart for each one. We are called to go after the one. Worship and prayer are an integral part of our daily lives and we love to walk with and help people encounter God, and experience healing and freedom as we share the Gospel.

Thank you for your prayers, support and for partnering with the Lord’s good plans to see the people of Alaska redeemed and equipped.

Prayer: 

Open doors to the villages-connection with a person of peace in the villages we are called to.

Favor for travel resources, places to stay in the villages, and with local village leadership.

Financially:

Travel expenses (travel in Ak can be costly $1000 round trip per ticket to the Southeast where we have been called)

Love and blessings to you and yours!

Love from the Lochridges
