The Alaska Conference has intentionally incorporated individual and corporate prayer as a key components in shaping the vision for reaching Alaska. Beginning in fall of 2026, the purpose was two-fold: to invite and unite God’s people across our vast state and to seeking His presence, guidance, and vision in all that we do. Beginning with Upward: 40 Days of Prayer followed by the October visioning weekend in Anchorage, believers joined hearts and voices to ask the Holy Spirit to pour out wisdom and direction for His church. This sacred movement reminds us that prayer is not about building our own plans, but about discerning God’s will and aligning our mission with His purpose.
As we continue morning prayer gatherings across Alaska, we trust the Spirit to strengthen our unity, deepen our love for one another, and guide every step forward in faith for the mission in Alaska. Looking ahead, additional prayer events will be woven into the ongoing life and ministry of the Conference, ensuring that prayer remains at the center of all we do.

Journey with John
The Upward 2026 journey moves forward with Journey with John. The daily 6 a.m. prayer line will remain available for those who wish to gather collectively in prayer, with a special Monday 6 a.m. conference prayer time set aside each week.
Journey with John invites individuals, churches, and prayer groups across Alaska to walk together through the Gospel of John throughout 2026. Weekly devotionals are released every Monday morning, providing a shared rhythm of study centered on Jesus as the Living Word, Light of the world, Bread of Life, and source of hope.
