June Update
The month of May flew by quickly as students and some staff enjoyed a great spring retreat at the ARC the first weekend. It was a great weekend with many testimonies shared of God’s faithfulness and changed lives during this past year! The last classes and finals for spring semester followed soon after.
On May 16th, fifty-eight seniors graduated from AFLBS and three students graduated from the Ministry Training Institute of AFLBS. We thank the Lord for each of these young men and women and pray for God’s continued blessings as they seek to serve Him in a variety of vocations.
There are twenty-one seniors and seventeen junior students serving on the nine summer teams being sent out by the Bible School, Home Missions, and the ARC. Each of these teams were a part of Children’s Ministry Training Class during Spring Semester and the last week of May had a very intense week of training from 8 AM to 10 PM each day. Pray for each of these teams as they minister in various congregations and Bible Camps, sharing in concerts and teaching Vacation Bible School, and counseling at Bible Camps and the Free Lutheran Youth Convention. Listed below is the name of each team which you can click on for a link to their itinerary.

Please continue to pray for God to open each heart to the Word, and for people to be saved and encouraged in Christ through this ministry. Please pray for safe travels and for spiritual growth and unity for each of the teams.
We thank the Lord for the answers to prayer we have experienced this past month with staff needs. Mr. Sam Nash has accepted the call to serve as Student Development Director beginning June 11th. Sam is a 2003 graduate of AFLBS and has worked in management at Grainger. Sam has two years experience in summer team ministry and was a great help in our evening training. Sam has a heart for ministry and looks forward to using the gifts God has given him in this ministry.
Another answer to prayer is for the Women’s Resident Head. Emily Walker has accepted that call and will be serving as guest housing coordinator this summer until that position officially begins August 1st. God has also provided most of the new dorm assistants needed for this fall. Elizabeth McCarlson and Naomi Tuura will be joining Renah Thompson in that capacity in the Women’s Dorm. Brent Raan and Micah Horneman will be joining Micah Johnson in this dorm assistant ministry in the Men’s Dorm along with Men’s Resident Head, Adam Osier.
Please continue to pray with us:
• That God will bring the students He wants to be here this fall for Bible School and MTI.
• For all the ministries that students and staff are involved with this summer.
• For the Spirit of God to work freely through His Word in transforming many lives at the many Youth and Family Bible Camps and FLY Convention.
• For funds to be able to make this month’s payment of $9,449. on Heritage Hall. The current balance on the loan is $153,500.
• For the Lord to prosper all the maintenance projects underway and needed on campus.
• For the Lord to continue to provide for all needs of these schools.
Thanks you for your prayers and support for the ministry of AFLBS.
AFLBS is a ministry of the Association of Free Lutheran Congregations.
