Youth

Manley Hot Springs, Alaska

WHY ALASKA? The Diocese of Alaska has a rich history of bringing the good news of Christ to Alaska. The cultural diversity is unlike any other part of our church or country. It is a diocese that continues to invite others into ministry. Alaska has much need and few people to help. It is one of the few areas not saturated by mission groups, where the needs far out weigh the people power to meet those needs. This is an incredible opportunity to be engaged in ministry with people who are committed to their land and to Christ.

WHAT WILL WE BE DOING? We'll be working with other young people from Alaska to help build their camp and retreat center.

WHO ARE THE ADULTS ON THIS TRIP? Paul Canady, Diocesan Deputy for Youth Ministry; Cherisse Robles, Grace Church, Silver Spring; Craig Ryan, Holy Trinity, Bowie; Michelle Savage, Episcopal Church House.
