Half of our team went to Amundsen Educational Center today! AEC is a post secondary training school and is dedicated to “building hope”. Most of their students are Alaska Natives that leave their villages to receive trade training and discipleship at AEC. Our team helped organize a storage closet and move furniture, but our conversations with Mike and Elder Joshua were so much more memorable.
Mike, the executive director of AEC, shared about village culture and the epidemic of suicide that is prevalent in Alaska. Alaska Native males are 7x more likely to commit suicide than any other Alaskan. We commit to pray for that to change, and for people to find true hope and peace in Jesus.
Joshua, the residential director at AEC, shared his testimony of God rescuing him from addiction. He challenged us to remember to pray for AEC, Alaska, and all those in bondage to addiction.
