Dillingham, Alaska

        It is time for mission aviation to celebrate in Dillingham! The long-awaited, much-labored-for occupancy date finally arrived, and although not yet insulated or heated, the AWA hangar now shelters the Cessna Hawk XP against the winter blasts.

     The new facility is rapidly becoming the hub for native ministry activity. Two personal aircraft and the AWA Hawk XP fly out almost every Sabbath to make contacts and build relationships for the Kingdom. Togiak, Manakotak, and other nearby Eskimo communities enjoy the arrival of these village ministry outreach teams.

    On a recent weekend, Jim Kincaid (Alaska Conference Executive Secretary, Native Ministries Coordinator, and AWA-Alaska Project Manager) visited Dillingham for a meeting to coordinate efforts with those involved in village ministry.

   Years of prayer, sacrifice, hard work, and the participation of volunteers, donors, and Alaska Conference personnel have resulted in a building and airplane that will serve Bristol Bay area native ministry for years to come. Well done, good and faithful servants. Thank you everyone!
