The Visionary’s Dream: Revival of WDMC

A Journey of Faith, Hope, and Community Unity

In the serene town of Metlakatla, Alaska, there stood a building that once pulsed with life and laughter. This was the WDMC church, a beacon of hope, community, and faith. Over the years, wear and tear had dimmed its grandeur, but not its spirit. And in the heart of one visionary, the dream of its revival burned brightly.

This man of vision was not just driven by sight but by a deeper, intrinsic understanding of potential and possibility. He saw what others could not – the future, vibrant and rich with the promise of the restored WDMC church.

He stood in front of the worn-out building, seeing not the cracks and decay, but the bustling activity that would soon fill these halls. He saw community members gathered for events and celebrations, their laughter echoing through the hallways. He envisioned a sanctuary where people found solace in worship and a place of healing for those in need. He foresaw a provision station, with an active food pantry offering nourishment to the community.

In his mind’s eye, the fellowship hall was alive with activity once more – kids participating in 5th quarter activities, learning, laughing, and growing together. He imagined community members coming together, pooling their resources, and their strengths to restore this building to its former glory, and beyond.

The vision was not just of a restored building but of a community united in purpose and action. He saw neighbors helping neighbors, local businesses contributing materials, and volunteers offering their time and expertise. There were fundraisers, workdays, and a shared commitment to bring the dream to life.

This visionary didn’t just see a restored structure; he saw a future where the WDMC church stood as a testament to the power of faith, hope, and community. His dream was infectious, and soon, the entire town rallied behind the cause.

Brick by brick, the building was restored. The sanctuary was filled with the sounds of hymns and prayers, the fellowship hall with laughter and conversation, and the food pantry with the hum of activity as volunteers stocked shelves and distributed goods.

The WDMC church, once a symbol of neglect, now stood as a beacon of resilience and unity. And the man of vision? He looked upon the vibrant, bustling hub of activity and knew that he had seen rightly – not with his eyes, but with his heart and soul.

In Metlakatla, Alaska, the dream had become a reality, and the community was stronger, more connected, and more hopeful than ever before.
