Delegates and friends from all across Alaska gathered in ShaktooliK April 10-13, 2024, for the Alaska Conference Annual Meeting. Despite weather affecting travel most were able to get to the conference for at least a couple days. KICY broadcast each evening service, live. Special thanks to Brian Nanninga and Sean for facilitating the set up and broadcast the first night as I was unable to get to Shaktoolik until Thursday.

The theme of the conference was From Everyone To Everywhere, and the theme song was Here Am I, Lord. Special speakers for the evening services were Grace Shim, Executive Minister of Serve Globally for the Evangelical Covenant Church, and Dr. Dennis Edwards of North Park University, Vice President for Church Relations and Dean of the Seminary. The concluding message on Saturday morning was given by Conference Superintendent Curtis Ivanoff.

What a blessing to have Olivia Garretson, a vidoegrapher and owner of Lightshaft Media, come to Nome. Her vision was to produce updated videos that KICY could offer to churches for use on 100% Sunday or other times, as well as a volunteer recruiting video. She and her assistant, her father Jeff, spent a week in Nome capturing the sights and sounds of the community and the station. The fruit of their labor is available below. Please watch, share, and use at your church or other places, to spread the mission of KICY. You have permission to download the video from the linked site, or you can always access it directly from here.

To download the videos, you’ll need an application called VDownloader. It’s free and they have a Windows and MAC/Apple Version.

It can be found here: https://vdownloader.com/

Once VDownloader is installed, copy the link for the vimeo video into the vdownloader search bar and it should give you the option to download it. Once downloaded, open the file location and move the movie file to your PowerPoint or presentation software.

Hosting a KICY Salmon Fundraising Dinner is easy.  We provide the salmon, caught in Nome and shipped to your church, and even cook it.  You provide the side dishes and the opportunity for people to hear about the ministry of KICY.  Hosting a free dinner is a great way to share with others in your community the incredible impact KICY has in Western Alaska and the Russian Far East.  We encourage you to invite the whole community, not just your own congregation.  At the conclusion of the brief Power Point presentation, people are given the opportunity to give to this vital ministry.  For more information about hosting your own dinner, contact Patty Burchell at generalmanager@kicy.org

Planning for the Fall 2024 Salmon Dinner Tour is underway.  If your church would like to host a dinner in the first week or so of October, contact Patty Burchell to get your date on the calendar.  I’d love to bring wild caught Alaskan salmon and news of KICY to your church!
