About

A boy from the Arctic, a man on a mission.

Igniting revival and hope across Alaska's rural communities

I am an evangelist who answered the call to return home to Alaska after an extensive season of discipleship in California, carrying two dreams and an open vision the Lord placed on my heart to see accomplished.

Our first mission is focused on Kotzebue and the surrounding villages, reaching communities with the hope of the Gospel and building places where people can gather, worship, and be discipled. We believe God is calling this generation—many who grew up without church—to find hope, purpose, and belonging through Christ. We see revival rising in places that have long struggled with darkness, as Indigenous believers stand up to lead their own people into freedom and truth.

TF Ministries is working to provide transportation—including airfare and fuel—along with housing, food, and essential support for ministry outreach across Alaska, Canada, and Native American reservations in the United States to bring the Gospel to underserved Indigenous communities. We are also working to establish a mission house in Wasilla, Alaska to provide temporary housing and relocation assistance for Indigenous families from rural communities in need.

Through these efforts, we aim to expand access to Gospel-centered ministry for Indigenous people who currently have little or no access to it. Such services include but are not limited to evangelism, discipleship, community outreach, revival gatherings, youth mentorship, leadership development, rural ministry support, travel for mission work, humanitarian aid, counseling, media outreach, and partnership development.

The journey

  1. Born

    Point Hope, Alaska

    Raised on the edge of the Arctic Ocean, surrounded by tundra, ice, and a tight-knit Iñupiat community.

  2. Early years

    Snowmachines & ice

    Found freedom on a sled — racing across frozen seas and learning to read the country.

  3. Turning point

    An encounter with Jesus

    A life of speed met a moment of stillness. Faith became the new center of gravity.

  4. Today

    Called to the villages

    Carrying the gospel by snowmachine and bush plane to communities across rural Alaska.
