Frontier Alaska Missions is a Missional Family that Exists to Pray, Preach, Sing and Send Until Every Village in Alaska Hears, Sees, and Sings of the worth of Jesus

OUR CORE VALUES:

Building Healthy Family

God is the God of a Family (Romans 8:14-17)! He has adopted us into His family (Galatians 4:4-7)! He is our Father (Luke 11:2). Our brother is Jesus (Hebrews 2:11) and He said that His brothers and sisters are those who do the will of the Father (Matthew 12:50). We make it a priority to be a healthy family on mission. We eat, pray, play, bless, rest, and proclaim together (Acts 2:42-47). We fight for healthy rhythms, with healthy spaces to learn and grow, without the unhealthy pressure of striving to perform. Our conviction is that we are all too often so “business oriented” that we neglect the healthy rhythms of being the family of God. The result is a lot of workers, who lack the intimacy of a family, which is the breeding ground for burn-out. We are more than co-workers, co-laborers, and partners in the gospel; WE ARE FAMILY! 

Prayer and Worship

Jesus said, "My house will be a house of prayer for all nations" (Mark 11:17).

Prayer is the starting line and the finish line when it comes to reaching the villages of Alaska. We not only want to be a people that prays for the villages, but raises up Houses of Prayer in the villages, to fulfill what was spoken by the Prophet Malachi, that “from the rising of the sun to its setting my name will be great among the nations, and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering. For my name will be great among the nations, says the LORD of hosts” (Malachi 1:11).

The Lord has made it clear that our assignment is to establish a House of Prayer for the villages of Alaska that will gather DAILY for prayer. Prayer will start this movement, and prayer will sustain this movement. We believe that prayer and worship must be the daily and continual posture of effective missionaries.

Train and Disciple

Discipleship Training is an essential part of the missionary task. We are committed to making disciples, that mature, grow, and go on to make disciples. Our missionary task is not done when someone simply makes a profession of faith. The scriptures are clear that we are to “grow up into salvation,” (1 Peter 2:2) “go on to maturity,” (Hebrew 6:1) and “strain forward toward the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:13). The goal is that every member of our team, and every person that we encounter, will fall madly in love with Jesus, where the evidence of faith is that “in all things Jesus might be preeminent” (Colossians 1:18). That we can say with confidence that “Christ is our life” (Colossians 3:4). 

We believe that this is best accomplished through immersion in a disciple making culture, with a safe place to put into the practice the things that we are learning, with the time necessary to make progress. Paul says to his young disciple Timothy, “Practice these things, immerse yourself in them, so that all may see your progress” (1 Timothy 4:15).

Send and Plant

Often times most of the emphasis is placed upon the "going." Our conviction is that healthy sending centers are equally as important as the going. Paul says, "How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? How are they to preach unless they are sent?" (Romans 10:14-15).  

We want to provide a greenhouse environment, that focusses on sending healthy missionaries into the field. Every member of the community playing their part. As with any healthy greenhouse, we want to plant, cultivate, nurture, mature, protect, prepare, and send out so that those being sent can help plant and cultivate new greenhouses in the villages of Alaska. ​

Not only do we desire to send missionaries into the villages, but we desire to raise up indigenous leaders who we can effectively disciple to reach their own village and the surrounding villages. (For a biblical framework of this vision see 2 Corinthians 10:12-18)

Mobilize and Preach

God’s choice to take on flesh and lay His life down for the salvation of the world is the blueprint for not only the missions movement but for everyday life. Taking up our cross, denying ourselves and following Him is an active choice and an intricate part of our value system in which we fellowship with Him in His sufferings. We live “wartime lifestyles” with the advancement of the gospel as the strategic focus of our lives. We give the best of our time, resources, energy, and focus to bring about the completion of the Great Commission. 

We do this by recruiting, training, and mobilizing soldiers for Christ onto the battlefield. Our greatest passion and joy is to walk in obedience to Jesus’ Great Commission. That is to “Make disciples of all nations.” Our aim as a community is to mobilize our generation to preach the gospel to the ends of the earth!
