Since 1964, the Missionary Aviation Repair Center (MARC) has been giving wings to Alaska missions — flying pastors, missionaries, and supplies into more than 230 villages that have no road access. It's the kind of ministry that only works because people show up to support it.

MARC's guesthouse in Soldotna, overlooking the Kenai River Flats, gives rest and housing to pastors, ministry teams, and volunteers passing through. The main lodge sleeps 12 and has become a hub for fellowship — but there's no outdoor space to host larger groups.

This September, we're sending a team to fix that.

September 10-19, 2026, we'll build a large gathering deck off the back of the MARC Guesthouse so they can host bigger groups of missionaries, ministry partners, and families for years to come. We'll work side by side with MARC staff, share meals and fellowship with the team, and enjoy the Kenai Peninsula while we're at it.

Helping Hands hopes to contribute $10,000 towards this deck project for MARC. We need your help to make this possible please consider partnering with us in to make this possible.

Thank you so much
