Why Christianity Struggles to Survive in Rural Alaska

About this sermon

There are a lot of places in the United States where you can find a church in every corner…but as many of you have pointed out, there are a lot of details and nuances about the reality of particular regions that remain unseen. That’s why the Neighborhoods and Nations team took a trip to Alaska, a state of extremes—from over 60 days of total darkness in the winter, to over 80 days of total sunlight in the summer; from small towns filled with congregations, to remote communities that have never heard the gospel at all. Follow Steven Morales as he discovers what gospel work actually looks like in Alaska, and how much of it is still needed today.
