Life long MCA-er, Lance Pruitt took time from his busy life to eat with me and to fill me in on the progress of his campaign for Alaska House of Representatives for District 21. One of my favorite things in life is to converse with brilliant people who are taking action on their life’s passion. Such is the case for Lance.

Loved it! Justin and Anita facilitated worship, Blaine administered the service, Pastor Fay presented the message, with expert commentary provided by Bev Geesey and Byron Perkins. May I suggest that you listen to the message online? I think it will be a relaxing experience :0)

The folks in 11:15 LIVE enjoyed participating in the dedication of Anjrue. Pastor Pam and Pastor Fay spoke blessings over Anjrue and then presented him to the Lord in prayer. Many family members joined Anjrue on his special day.
MCA loves to minister to the Lord and to children.
May God’s strong hand rest upon Anjrue with blessing and anointing.

Once again the MCA Royal Ranger leadership team coordinated the pinewood derby with excellence, precision, and effectiveness. Katelyn and Nicole both showed the boys how to build and race, and both were the Champions in their class.
Special thanks to Pastor Pam, Sir Charles Niemann, and Rev. Randy Montz.

MCA’s own Teresa Kress, our television producer Terry Burge, and missionary Terry Hull are all members of the Alaska Governor’s Prayer Breakfast board of directors. The board’s strategizing, planning, creativity, discipline, and hard work, culminated with a spectacular event.
Our Governor, Sean Parnell, asked us to think about being remembered by people generations from now. ”For what will we be remembered?” Then, in a pastoral way, Governor Parnell urged us to be remembered for acts of mercy, love, and justice.
Bob Cornuke presented the Good News through the lens of his life as an explorer. Aligning beautifully with the theme, “Seeking Ultimate Truth,” Bob invited the nearly 900 guests, the internet audience, and live television audience, to surrender totally to Jesus, the true Ark.
Special thanks to Teresa, Terry, Terry, and the rest of the Alaska Governor’s Prayer Breakfast.

MCA has pledged to assist our Zone One Churches in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, by funding our first Youth Development Center. In addition to fantastic ministry space, the new Youth Development Center will be the home of training, skill development, job creation, a restaurant, and a computer lab. EXCITING!
Our challenge is to generate an additional $60,000 for this life changing Development Center. Please direct your web browser here and make a generous contribution for the life transformation of Burkinabe teenagers.
Howard Hansen is leading this Global Outreach Journey and some of the team met recently in preparation.

This Friday and Saturday Kim Carlson leads the MCA women on “Safari: hunting for more.” Please accept my encouragement to join the hunt for the riches of God that are hidden in Christ. It seems to me that they are hidden in Christ so that we can have the exquisite joy of the hunt. We get to search them out. Discover. Uncover. Find.

MCA is one of the most activated congregations I have seen. Everyday hundreds of our worship community are actively and energetically involved in giving their lives away. Bryan Fick, Fred Downs, Howard Hansen, Dale Baker, Dale Fick, James Tyler, Fay Niemann, and Kevin and Lynn Aleshire, have been very involved in the LIVE stage redesign. I don’t know the number of hours given for the cause of advancing God’s work through MCA.
Thanks everyone.
Fred and Bryan
