About Us

The purpose of our ministry is to simulcast  to the Internet and archive church services and events such as; District council, NAF Convocation, Retreats, Workshops, Leadership training, Distance Ed, and other relevant events.

Our mission is to:

  • Stream live video from churches with pastors into churches without pastors.
  • Deliver Conferences, Workshops and Leadership Training to bush churches.
  • Enable pastors to stream live video into un-reached villages to start new church plants.
  • Deliver College Level and Institute Level Bible classes into villages to train Indigenous Leaders.
  • Participate in a District wide delivery system for shared vision.    

Our goal is to “equip the saints for the work of the ministry”. We can use this type of technology to make a difference in Alaska villages.

Personal Info

Terry was born in Medicine Lodge, Kansas in August of 1961. He was raised on a farm in southern Kansas, where tending cattle, breaking horses, doing chores and following the harvest during the summer was a family affair. It was on harvest in the summer of 1979, that he met Danean Butler in Oklahoma. Over the next four years of long distance phone calls and weekly letters, the relationship grew strong. A wedding date was set for January 1982. They resided on the family farm for the next 5 years. During these five years, two children were born. A daughter came into the world on December 20, 1983, and a son soon followed on January 3, 1985.

In 1986, we lost the family farm, but God had everything under control. You see, at the age of 11, God had birthed a call on Terry's life to become a missionary someday, and we weren't headed in that direction. We believe it took losing the farm to get us headed on the path He had for us. A new pastor and his wife arrived in our hometown church, we became friends, and they began mentoring us. We rededicated our lives to Jesus and began serving Him on a greater level. For three years we became highly involved in the church, doing ministry in many areas. Terry began Berean School of the Bible to get his ministerial credentials.

We moved to Fairfield, Texas in 1990 to work for Pleasant Hills Children's Home, which is owned and operated by the Texas Assemblies of God. We served as relief home parents for a time, and then we became the home parents for the teenage girls. Traveling to churches was a big part of our lives and over the course of the next three years; we made many new friends and acquaintances.

1993 came along and we moved to Amarillo, Texas. Our first Sunday in town, we took our family to church, where we met Pastor Gary and Alice Morton. We grew under their leadership and direction. The very moment Pastor Gary announced that he was moving to Alaska, God spoke to Terry's heart, telling him that we were to go there also!

It's been 12 years for us, here in Alaska. During this past twelve years, God birthed a passion in our hearts to reach Native People in Bush Alaska. We received our US Missions Candidacy in September of 2004, in Springfield, Missouri. 

Our children are now grown to young adults and moved away from home. Dana is married to D.J. Lockwood. They have 2 children, Kylie Destiny and Kirsten Hope. Dana is a stay at home mom, raising our 2 beautiful granddaughters. Our son, Brett is married to Whitney and they live outside of Wasilla Alaska.
