<Back Alaska Native Ministry:
TGM is surrounded by the indigenous First Nations People of Alaska. With this strategic placement and vantage point, we have an obvious mandate to reach the Native people with the gospel of Jesus Christ and partner with Native ministries.
TGM provides Cross Cultural Training for those who desire to minister either “short term” or “long term” to the Indigenous Native people of Alaska. Through proper protocol training, TGM can help your ministry team secure success on their missions endeavor in the Villages of Alaska. Your school, church, missions department and or work team will greatly benefit from this preparation. We desire your outreach to the lost of Alaska to be memorable as well as effective!
TGM is reaching the Native Community!
Many Alaskan churches, ministries and Christian organizations send missions teams to Mexico, not necessarily because of a “mandate” from God, but simply because it’s less expensive then reaching the Alaskan Native villages of their own state. Of the 231 federally recognized tribes and 370 villages in Alaska less then 3% know the love of Jesus. Even with this fraction of Christian influence to our indigenous people, many local organizations and ministries will leave Alaska soil to pursue the lost in a more accessible and cost effective arena. We believe Alaskan Native people are well worth the investment!
Often the term used to describe the American Native tribal people is “the forgotten people.” Many times this title has been encouraged because of the extreme geographic remoteness. Although the Native Reservations of the lower 48 states may be off the beaten path, these tribes are easily accessible compared to the Native tribes of bush Alaska. Forgotten? Not by God! But the reality is reaching the indigenous people of this massive state is very difficult and very expensive!
With hopelessness, depression and suicide at an all time high, TGM has set its sights and focus to reach the hurting people of Alaska. We recognize to charter a boat or plan has great cost, yet we believe that the indigenous people of the north are worth the investment of time, resources and finances.
