Dear Friend,

When our ministry started in Alaska over 8 years ago, God made it clear that He wanted to use college ministry to impact every single corner of Alaska. This vision started on the college campuses of UAF and UAA with the planting of 2 discipleship movements that have impacted hundreds with the gospel.  Four years ago, God opened doors for this impact to be expanded through the start-up of Alaska Student Partnership and the “What i Have” initiative. The vision was to see college alumni, from both Alaska and around the nation, use their degrees to become trained, cross-cultural marketplace minister-teachers amongst the 100+ villages in Alaska without a consistent gospel witness. God is indeed using college ministry to impact every corner of the state.

With an increasing number of teams in Western Alaska comes an increasing desire to keep this movement unified and resourced.  As this need arose, the Lord provided a building that could help serve this need. This is where the Hub 1 Initiative comes in. The building, when renovated, will act as a hub for church ministry in Bethel, a hub for training future marketplace ministers, a hub for resourcing ministers on the ground, and a hub for equipping future indigenous disciple-makers. Its position in Bethel,  AK, is highly strategic as Bethel serves as a hub community for 56 villages.

Would you consider partnering with us as we see this building revitalized, knowing that your investment is not just in a building and a local church? You are investing in dozens of self-funded marketplace ministers. You are investing in a movement that has the potential to impact an entire region, and you are investing in a model that could be replicated in every corner of the state. Will you join us?

Sincerely,
Paul & Crystal Burkhart
