It Is Written Conducts Mission Trip, Evangelism in Alaska

It Is Written conducted a mission trip and an evangelistic campaign in Alaska this spring, culminating in the Revelation Today: Hope for Humanity series. At the end of March 2024, a mission team of 70 volunteers served in Anchorage, the largest city in Alaska, and Bethel, the largest rural community. The evangelistic series started April 5, 2024, and continued until May 5. The events were held in partnership with the Adventist Medical Evangelism Network (AMEN) and the Alaska Conference.

John Bradshaw, It Is Written president, shared his excitement for the campaign, stating, “It Is Written exists for the purpose of sharing the Gospel. We’re thrilled to be collaborating with the churches in Alaska. We have met many pastors and church members who are enthusiastic about what is taking place. The two mission teams are going to do a great work for God, and we are trusting that the evangelistic meetings will reach many souls with the message for this time.”

The Revelation Today: Hope for Humanity series is a Christ-centered Bible prophecy series led by Bradshaw and Wes Peppers, It Is Written evangelism director. Eight churches in Anchorage are working together to host the series, with a livestream is being offered to more churches across the state.

In preparation for the series, It Is Written held training events for local churches, teaching pastors and members how to effectively reach their community. “We’ve been helping to shape the culture there for mission and evangelism for more than a year,” said Peppers. “The evangelistic meetings are the culmination of that. As a result of our long-term training, the churches will be better equipped to continue the work that’s been started.”

The Revelation Today campaign will follow a large-scale mission effort in Anchorage and Bethel to offer free medical, vision, and dental care to the community. “AMEN has a well-established clinical process, but wanted to scale up its evangelistic efforts. We’ve been wanting to increase our medical footprint, so this was a natural partnership,” said Peppers.

The Anchorage clinic will offer medical, vision, and dental care. The Bethel clinic will also offer medical care, but will primarily focus on mental health, including consultations, depression and anxiety education, and professional counseling. Each clinic visitor will be invited to attend the series and receive Bible studies.

Next year, It Is Written will conduct evangelism meetings in the Columbia Union. If you are interested in having It Is Written partner with your conference or union to do large-scale evangelism, please call the Evangelism Department at 423-362-5822.
