A Way To Provide For Those In Need

The purpose of Flashpoint Missions is to be a bridge that carries eager individuals to mission opportunities that better our world for Christ. Our goal is to empower and support existing mission organizations by providing committed assistance throughout necessary construction projects.

Flashpoint Missions was established after recognizing a need for skilled construction labor in the mission field. What started out as one man following his heart’s desire for God has turned into a platform for others to do the same.

What We Do

 We organize and send teams of construction volunteers to help meet the needs of established Ministries and Missionaries who need infrastructure in order to keep growing.

Examples:

  • Missionary housing
  • Bible schools
  • Training centers
  • Youth centers
  • Church buildings
  • Warehouses
  • Distribution Facilities


How We Do It

Flashpoint Missions operates through the help of many volunteers and donors who share our faith, vision and values. We also have a board of directors and a few paid staff to oversee projects, planning, media etc. Most of our work teams consist of 6-10 people volunteering for two or three weeks at a time on various projects around the world.

Why We Do It

Flashpoint Missions is more than just a construction organization. We believe that God has called us to use our construction skills and resources to serve Him and His people. We believe that every project is an opportunity to share the love and message of Jesus Christ. We believe every facility we build is a tool to advance the Kingdom of God and to glorify His name. Even the the work of our hands can be an act of worship to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

Minto Youth Center

This building project is a Youth Center for Minto, an Athabaskan village in Alaska. 

 The Youth Center will be a safe space for youth to do homework and fellowship with their peers, especially during the long dark winter months of Alaska.

Last Frontier Ministries

-Rob-

 "Flashpoint Missions has been working on our campus so that we can host Youth With A Mission and start a discipleship training school through their organization."

 "In 2014 we met Dan Esh in Kona, Hawaii which formed a relationship that is continuing strong to this day. Since 2016 Dan Esh has been bringing short term teams to build our 3600 ft.² mechanic shop with apartment above it, our pavilion, coffee shop, and finally our dormitory, which will also hold the discipleship training school."


 "Without the help of Dan Esh and Flashpoint Mission‘s this project would have been impossible. They started by bringing one or two short term two week mission building teams. In the last several years they have been hosting five teams per summer, just here in Healy. The young men and women who have come up mainly from Lancaster Pennsylvania has been a godsend to Last Frontier Ministries/Ywam Denali."


 "If you have not had the opportunity to serve with Flashpoint missions, I highly recommend that you would do so. They have not only helped last frontier Ministries/Ywam Denali, but they help numerous other organizations just like us that without their help, it would be impossible to accomplish the construction needs that we have as missionaries, and still do ministry.

Thank you Flashpoint Missions for all you do."

Ellerslie Discipleship Training School

  "We were blessed by the team of 7 adults and 2 kids that came and worked selflessly alongside us in our ongoing remodel project, for 2 weeks in early May."

 "To see people travel across the country to assist us in our need is truly remarkable and the way the global body should function much more than what we see in todays society. It was 2 weeks of rich blessing and seeing the love of Jesus in action."

"We would love to see more Flashpoint teams in the future!"

Helping Hands Alaska

 We met the first Flashpoint team "by accident" as they needed a place to quarantine before going into a village in 2020. Since then they are my first choice for projects in the villages. We have sent teams to Camp Nahshii, Fort Yukon, Kochrine Hills Bible Camp, Nenana, and North Pole to build cabins, remodel/rebuild facilities and cook for teams and youth camps,

 Their skills and craftsmanship set them apart. I can count on any flashpoint team to do the job faster than anticipated with a level of excellence that pleases the Lord and serves the missionaries well. These men and women have been raised well with gifts and skills that honor God to have them be used for eternal purposes and we are grateful and thrilled to have them on our team as the workload is impossible for us to do on our own. 

 They have been a huge help to Helping Hands Alaska by sending teams to help our ministry also. Last summer they built a much needed Wash House with toilets, showers and sinks for our three room - 30 bed guest housing we have for work teams. 

  This summer they sent skilled laborers build our new missionary building that will have a warehouse for donated items and additional housing for all the missionaries. They've done a major roofing project, deck, and car port amongst all sorts of smaller things. 

  We never could have had these projects completed with more knowledgeable, competent and willing servants than those who have come from Flashpoint. We are thankful for their ministry out to the villages and also for their much needed help for our ministry.

Kokrine Hills Bible Camp

 "The Flashpoint team's construction help has enabled us to continue on the mission we have been called to, preaching the gospel and discipling believers."

Nepal Volunteers

We sent our second team in 2023 to Nepal in October. Here is what our volunteers are saying!

Merv Esh and Family

Our family went to serve at Kokrine Hills Bible Camp in the summer of 2022. We had an amazing time serving as a family with a team from Flashpoint. It was a positive mission experience for our family, and definitely made our family interested in serving in missions some more in the future. It never ceases to amaze me how when we go to serve others, we always end up being Blessed even as we serve.


 These were the exact words from one of the children: ("Serving in Alaska has sparked an interest and Love for missions within me. Also, working alongside and getting to know other people is very rewarding. Something that I learned is that prayer is a very important part of our lives, and we need to pray regularly for our missionaries.")

The Esh's......

Lee King

"My highlight from working with Flashpoint is seeing what the Lord does through people by using their talents and gifts.Also, spending time in the great outdoors with the teams."

 "In my time on Staff, God has helped me to see the importance of fellowship and relationships." 

 "If you are on the fence about joining a team to help build the kingdom, don't be like Jonah. There is a huge need for people with construction skills in the mission field. Also as a bonus, you get to see Alaska!"

  -Lee-


Marcus King

"Greetings to Ya'll in the name of Jesus Christ, the One who saved us and washed us from all our sins. All honor, and glory and praise to Him forever."

 

 "First of all, a huge" Thank You" to Desh and Kath, and Flashpoint Missions for making this trip Possible. I first came to Alaska on June 28 2023 on a two week trip, but soon after I was here, decided to extend my stay, and eventually canceled my flight home all together hand ended up staying all summer This has been a life changing trip. Plus I got to travel to places like Old Minto and Mcgrath and help the people there for a while." 

 "Also when You come to Alaska, You get to see some beautiful scenery, not to mention all the hiking and fishing that's available"

-Marcus-


John Smucker

 "Hi, I'm John. I first met Desh and Kath when I went to Alaska in 2019 to help build the Dormitory for Last Frontier Ministries."

 

 "During those two weeks in Alaska I fell in love with the wild beauty of the Alaskan outdoors but more importantly, in the same two weeks I got convicted of the sinful life I was living, and gave my life to Jesus! 


 A question I often hear is,"How can I know what God wants me to do?"

 "I don't have all of it figured out but let me tell you, it's way more simple than you think. When He asks you to do a small thing, you obey. It could be helping a child tie his shoes. It could be telling someone that Jesus loves them. Or maybe it is a Flashpoint trip;)" We really have no excuse. 

  While we live comfortably in our nice houses and hope one of the other fifteen qualified people leads Sunday school, there is a Bible School in Nepal who needs teachers, Churches who need buildings, a Children's Home in need of staff, a Missionary in Alaska in need of a school, firewood or a warehouse, the list goes on. Not to mention the vast host of souls who need Jesus.

 "If you want to go places you haven't seen or want to serve God while serving others I highly recommend Flashpoint Missions as a great way to do all that. Prepare for the trip of a lifetime that may change your life as you know it!"

-John-

Steve Smoker and Family

  "My wife and I wanted something more fulfilling than a vacation for our family this summer so when the opportunity arose to go to Healy, Alaska with our family as a unit we were excited to serve alongside our children." 

 We wanted to introduce our kids to serving in God's kingdom in a meaningful way, to make a difference.

 Also, it's a blessing to see our kids experience the wildlife in Alaska, Jonah (our youngest) has an obsession with wildlife. Being able to see four moose up close in one hike was an absolute thrill to him!!

 Desh and Kathryn are church friends of ours and we are eternally grateful to them and Flashpoint Missions for providing an avenue for us (along with many others) to impact God's kingdom for his Glory.. Thank you!
