That's right, starting on June 8, we will be driving the Alcan all the way to Anchorage, loaded down with all my things, cameras trained on the moose, and eyes wide for all things wonderful! Now if the question is still lingering in your mind, "what is David doing moving to Anchorage??" I would kindly answer, "good question!" Apologies that I have not been able to tell you in person yet!
Well here it is- I will be moving there to work with a youth ministry organization called Covenant Youth of Alaska. CYAK focuses predominately on native youth from rural Alaska, but also with native students as they transition into college or young adult life in the big cities. My main job will be serving as the resident director for a men's ministry house in near the University of Alaska Anchorage. I will also serve as the media director for the organization state-wide. This is an incredible opportunity to follow several passions of mine and to participate in the work that God is doing among the youth in Alaska. At this point I am committed to two years in Alaska, though it may well be more.
Three things- First, I would love to share more of what I will be doing with you sometime if you are interested. Second, I will be sending out a regular update newsletter with stories, photos, and prayer requests. If you would like to receive the update and learn more about my work over the next few years, please send me an email at
david@cyak.org.
