History of KJNP
Co-Founders of KJNP, Don Nelson (deceased-May 8, 1997) and
Gen Nelson
(deceased-April 12, 2009)
came to
Alaska in April 1956 with their daughter, Judy
and started their
ministry in Steven's Village.
Their sole purpose in life is to
reach souls for Jesus.
After Don learned to fly, they conducted Daily Vacation Bible Schools
in different villages and meetings in the villages as well.
KJNP was the result
of a winter storm and the frustration of trying
to fly into the villages to celebrate
Christmas. Their only way of touching base was
getting on a
radio station in Fairbanks and broadcasting the gospel message from
there.
From the response they received they were asked to do a regular program
and they called it "Far North Gospel Song and Hymn Time" using
country/gospel music
interspersed with little comments from Don and Gen.
