Barrow, AK, known by its Inuit name, Utqiagvik, is the largest of the North Shore villages of the Inuit people. It is the northernmost city in North America, with Point Barrow as the northernmost point. Our visit in August was excellent and incredibly cold with warm-hearted people! Living in Barrow is hugely challenging. During the winter, they experience total darkness for about two months, with temperatures at 40 degrees below zero. Read more. From Wednesday, July 31, through August 4, a team from Christian Life Center will embark on an exciting, faith-filled “scouting” journey to the Northshore of Alaska, visiting the town of Barrow, known as Utqiagvik (Oot-keag-vik) to the Inupiat who have inhabited this highly remote area for over millennia. Located north of the Arctic Circle, it is one of the northernmost towns in the world and the northernmost in the United States, with Point Barrow as the country’s northernmost point. Our visit to Utqiagvik may be part of a larger plan, and we are open to discovering all the Lord has in store for us in such a brief time. Our plan includes praying on Point Barrow and bringing LuminAID solar lights. We appreciate your support! We are deeply grateful for your prayers and financial support as we embark on this scouting expedition, seeking to discern and follow the Lord’s will for us in Utqiagvik. Please use our PayPal link if you want to partner with us. The Hopi have not had anything like this since their devastating season with covid. These two events will bring a lot of much-needed joy! The first event is in Moenkopi (photo), a Hopi village on the Navajo Reservation near Tuba City. The second is in a very high-profile location, the Hopi Cultural Center. We do need more funding.

Each Pastor will receive a solar powered, audio Bible in their language (Amharic), a LuminAID solar light, and a LifeStraw water filter as they travel back to their communities.

On February 5, a small team went to the Hopi Reservation to bring wood for elders. Because the winters are harsh, this was incredibly important. Along with the wood, Bertha, a 95-year-old believer who has not been able to read the Bible for about 10 years, received an audio, solar Bible in the Hopi language. Nancy, an elder on 1st Mesa received a shed with the wood, and the village of Mishongnovi received wood as well.
On the last evening, we were invited to join Lynette's family as the Kachinas were coming to Shungopavi for the first time of the year. Thank you for your prayers and gifts to make this all possible!
