Independent Christian Artists

If you are a Christian musician - AC, Southern Gospel, Country, Hymns, Folk (pretty much anything but heavy metal and rap) - and your heart is to share your music as a ministry and you are interested in getting on the mission airwaves in rural Alaska, feel free to send us a copy of your CD/s. We promise to give you a fair listen and to let you know if we can use your work.

Why is Annika Going?

An Open Letter From the Station Manager

It seems that the word has traveled fast enough that my time is coming to a close at KAKN, and that before I even mentioned it once on the air. There have been a number of phone calls from listeners asking questions and I feel that I need to address some of that here publicly as a number have expressed concern that the mission and I are not being up front and honest about things that are going on.

Let me start by saying that there are changes happening at KAKN in terms of ownership and all the rest. We have had some brief required announcements on the air during set times of day, but I have not yet been authorized to make a web-based announcement of any sort (there are still legal details being worked out and all the rest) and must leave that side of things to another day and perhaps another writer. This change means a change in how missionaries are paid and in who will staff the station, and so my time is limited not by my own choice but by realities outside my control.

That said, I do need to address the questions I have been receiving because folks are asking all sorts of things, like “I thought you liked it here, were those just words to sound good on the air?” and “Did I call too many times late at night to talk?” and the list goes on, and the questions often break my heart. Please, please, please know that this is not anyone’s fault. This is really “just business.” It is not personal.

A Preacher in the Parsonage

Greetings from Jeff, Jane, Hope & Abigail Swanson!

We arrived in Naknek on September 20th having accepted the call last summer from LMS to serve here. We will pastor Hilltop Christian Fellowship in Naknek and be involved as God leads in South Naknek, at KAKN and with our aviation ministry. We are praying for God to open doors here and beyond. It has been a big change having spent the last 15 years in northern Illinois. It is also a big change in culture and climate. We are so thankful for faithful servants, past and present, who have pioneers the work here and kept it going and built it up. We appreciate your prayer support and would enjoy hearing from you. It is our desire to live our by God's grace these scriptual mandates:

"Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven." Matt. 5:16

"And he died for all that they who live should no longe rlive for themselves but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf." II Cor. 5:15

Lead On O King Eternal!

Pastor Jeff & Jane Swansons
