On December 30, 2004 the Alaska missions team landed in Kenya. The team, under the direction of Alaska District Youth Director, Pastor Jen Mickelson, came to minister and build two tabernacles.
The mission to Loitokitok was a tremendous success. We had 14 missionaries from Alaska and nine from East Africa School of Theology as well as our family of six participating. We were able to complete the construction of two tabernacles in Maasai land and we witnessed 42 people give their lives to the Lord.
The driver we hired commented, “I have been on many missions trips, but this is the best I have ever experienced.” The builder we hired to supervise the construction gave the building an “A”. The District Superintendent, Daniel Partimo, expressed deep appreciation for the team and their hard work.
This is the first team that the Nelsons have hosted from America although we have had individuals come before. The team served with the greatest attitude and represented Christ and the Alaska District in the highest way. The Maasai people repeatedly expressed their sincere thanks for the team.
Thank you to each one who participated, those who prayed, and those who gave to make this mission possible.
