This summer, the Alaska Circuit will again be blessed to have some eager young volunteers among us. They are students at Martin Luther College, in training for the preaching and teaching ministries in our synod. In the Summer Ministry Assistant program, they'll serve our congregations and get some valuable experience by assisting with Vacation Bible Schools, Camp Luther and outreach activities.
Part of the Alaska churches' responsibilities is getting them here. In order to save some dollars doing that, we're hoping that some of our members will be able and willing to donate air miles (or companion tickets?) that could be used as part of the transportation package.
We need to fly 2 of our team members from Milwaukee, 1 from Charlotte, NC and 1 from Detroit or Grand Rapids, MI. Alaska Air Miles or other carriers would work. A companion fare for Alaska could be used for the team from Milwaukee, but we’d have to get them a ride down to Chicago O’Hare to take advantage of it. As of now there are a few seats open on a flight that would work for them and they are much cheaper that way than even the cheapest out of Milwaukee (on Expedia.
If you have a ton of miles, or just have miles that you don't intend to
use, please notify Pastor Oldfield or, more directly, Pastor Hackmann (414-232-1441),
as soon as you can.
We will also need to house the students while they are in Anchorage serving Faith.
