Full Description:
Alaska Dipnetting. Located on a safe, family-friendly environment as families are gathered at the mouth of the great Kenai River to dip-net salmon out of the waters. Mission teams will host beach kids' club, give away water bottles, give away hotdogs, beach cleanup/prayer walk, supervise bouncy toys, host a beach chapel, and evening bonfires. This is a BEACH REACH where Alaskans gather and are accessible. Come along and help us breakdown their stereotypes of Christians!! We are going to serve them HARD !!
This year, we are extending ministry into the local Kenai community with service projects and construction. This will take the form of clearing trails, small repairs in homes, and community outreach.
