Alaska - Mission Trip to United States

Trip Details:

Sender:	Global Expeditions
Title:	Alaska
Description:	Journey to one of the most isolated areas in the United States where the sun comes up at 5am and doesn’t go down until almost midnight: Alaska! And even though this region has the highest depression rate in the U.S. and is fighting against suicide and alcohol abuse, you will experience amazing and welcoming people in remote villages where you’ll live. Traveling into places where Native American culture is very much alive is a privilege and God has opened a door for you to go this summer to where very few “outsiders” have ever been invited in. This is your chance to represent Christ in your actions as you undertake numerous repair projects, plant gardens, fix fences, paint and even gut fish! By helping in their homes, playing with their children and setting a good example for their teens, you will build strong friendships in the community and gain an opportunity to share your faith! http://www.globalexpeditions.com/mission-trips/summer-trips/north-america/alaska/
