School's Out For Summer!

As a child, one of my favorite songs was "School's Out For Summer!"  It was also definitely my favorite time of year. Three joyful months of playing, bike riding, sports and swimming.

Well, that's what we are gearing up for at ALC. Summer Camp! From the the middle of June through the end of July we will be hosting 80 to 90 children a day from 9am to 4pm for an awesome summer of activities, Bible classes, learning, field trips, swimming, water fights, fellowship and fun. 

Summer campers having fun

For the past 14 years I have consistently said that Summer Camp is the most exhausting time of the year, but it is also the most rewarding time of year. Instead of a one day encounter with children on a field trip, we spend at least a week, or with many of the campers the whole 6 weeks of summer camp getting to know, love and share God's word with them. Please pray as we share the love of Jesus to campers while we depend on Holy Spirit to keep us energized over the long, hot summer.

I will also be hosting summer tours for hundreds of other children that will visit the ALC for a field trip from other summer camps. Through our own summer camp and other summer camps visiting us, we will be able to reach over 1,500 children with the gospel message this summer.



We also finished off the 2015-16 school year well. My personal goal was to reach every 6th grade government school student in Nassau.

6th graders learning the Solar System

We were to able come very close to accomplishing that goal as more than 3,000 of the 8,000 plus students that came to ALC for a field trip were 6th graders that came to the planetarium program. They each learned of our amazing solar system in the classroom and planetarium while relevant Christian principles and spiritual guidelines were shared. At the end of the day, the gospel was clearly presented giving each student the opportunity to become a child of God by believing in the One whom through all things were created and came to die on the cross and raise from the grave for forgiveness of our sins.   

Please pray for the thousands of hearts with the thousands of seeds planted within and for many decisions made during the 2015-16 school year at the ALC.
