April Bible School Update Print E-mail

About 130 high school students from 10 states traveled to AFLBS for Campus Days March 28-30.  It was great to see a good number of students come from as far as California and Washington to check out what life and classes are really like at the AFLBS campus!  The Friday and Saturday evening services included testimonies and music from 8 of the gospel teams, and all were challenged with the messages from Pastor Jason Holt, AFLC Youth Ministries Director, speaking on “Knowing God’s Will” for your life.  One of the texts he used was from Proverbs 3:5,6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.”  Emphasis was given to the words “in” and “all”, and many illustrations were given in what it looks like in our life to “Trust in the Lord with all our heart.”  A great time of fellowship and games with fellow high school class members followed the Friday services as students enjoyed snacks in the Heritage Hall cafeteria.  Saturday morning gave students an opportunity to experience a couple classes with current junior and senior students.  The weather was beautiful and sunny with temperatures about 50 degrees, so many students enjoyed some of the recreational opportunities on campus playing soccer, ultimate Frisbee, or volleyball in the afternoon or taking a walk around Medicine Lake!


 It was great to hear positive comments from students as the weekend drew to a close.  Some spoke of not being sure what to expect when they came, and left being open or excited to come and study God’s Word here at AFLBS and to grow in their faith in Christ!  Continue praying that the students God wants to be here would come next fall.

  • Pray that God will guide and provide for the students He wants to be at AFLBS next fall.
  • Pray for the Concert Choir which will be sharing in congregations to the north and west, traveling as far as Washington and Oregon between April 4th and 20th.

  • Pray for the Women’s Chorale and Men’s Quartet weekend concert tour to Cloquet and Duluth, Minnesota as well as Ontonagon and Ishpeming, Michigan on April 25th-28th.
  • The final Spring Dean’s Luncheon date is May 1st (Call to join us!).
  • Continue to pray for each of the students as they seek to know and do God’s will.
  • Continue to pray for the students preparing for summer team ministry.
  • Thank you for your continued prayer for the entire faculty, staff and students*  here, for all of the ministry of God’s Word here on campus, and for the various outreach ministries associated with the Bible School.
