As I am writing this, I am flying with Missionary Aviation Repair Center pilots in a Caravan 875 to Napakiak and then on to Bethel, Alaska with Coy Webb, Rob Allen, Scottie Stice and Alaskan Carole McKee! These are all within that group of missionaries that I would consider "Heroes in Ministry!" We hope to accomplish four things, all found in the Bible, Mark Chapter 2! We want to encourage the local churches/mission points to gather and teach the Bible! We want to get some friends together and offer life to those who are paralyzed / hurting from the storms of life and Typhoon Halong in particular! We want to walk before them and testify/demonstrate what our Savior has done for us during difficult times! Finally, we hope to return to believers in Wasilla and the lower 48 and share that we have never seen God at work in any greater way! Gary

Alaska Baptist Disaster Relief, is a ministry of the Alaska Baptist Resource Network, working with our national partner - Send Relief, plus 1000s of churches within 42 Southern Baptist State Conventions serving, preparing, and training collaboratively for God's glory and sharing God's great love for the good of people, especially during times of crisis when people are seeking answers! Alaska Baptist Disaster Relief offers preparation and training sessions throughout the year in local churches to enable families, church volunteers, and team members to respond in their community and throughout our state alongside FEMA, Emergency Management, and other government, private, and faith-based agencies and/or ministries.
With preparation and training within local churches and by "Calling Out" more than 95,000+ currently equipped volunteers on state disaster relief teams, we respond to most disasters in the US and 100s more across the world each year. "We envision all SBC life engaged in disaster relief preparation and training through the church, to serve the community, and for the Gospel." By God's grace, we bring Help and Hope, and the Gospel brings Healing. God started His kingdom on earth with Jesus – it is Good News! In a very troubled world, He is reconciling all things to himself (Col. 1:20).
Serving with you, Gary Bearce, Alaska Baptist Disaster Relief Coordinator
