July 5-11 | Alaska
This summer, we’re thrilled to partner with Praying Pelicans Mission for an incredible journey to Alaska! Known for its breathtaking landscapes and welcoming communities, Alaska is a vast land with unique challenges. Home to around 730,000 people, half of whom live in cities like Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau, many Alaskans reside in remote areas only accessible by planes, boats, and ATVs. Despite its natural beauty and vibrant summer tourism, Alaska faces deep struggles, including poverty, homelessness, mental health issues, and addiction. On this mission trip, you’ll team up with local churches, nonprofits, and Christian camps to make a positive impact.

Jun 19 | 11:00 CT in-person/Noon Zoom
The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride HF
Join us at 11:00 CT for lunch and a discussion of this story that begins in 1972 with the discovery of a skeleton in a well in the Chicken Hill area of Pottstown, PA.
