Associate Mission Staff
VFCM's associate mission staff fill vital roles actively serving within VFCM, but are not on full missionary support status. Associate staff function similar to VFCM career staff, but their financial support is through other means.
Bailey - Palmer and Bonnie. Palmer serves as Station Manager of KYKD in Bethel, AK. Bonnie works alongside Palmer doing a myriad of tasks, including On-Air work and song selection.
Greg Lewis - Greg is an experienced radio station manager who lives in the Lower 48 and works with another missions ministry. He has been willing to remotely fill an operational role at KAGV in Houston, AK and is a critical part of our work in the Mat-Su Valley.
Lower 48 Representatives
We are grateful for our representatives who provide a link between our Alaska ministry and those who God leads to be part of our support team. The logistics and financial requirements to operate a radio ministry across Alaska are quite large, and we are grateful for God's continued provision!
