June Bible School Update Print E-mail
     The month of May was an exciting wrap up to a great school year at AFLBS! May 3rd and 4th found nearly all the student body at the Association Retreat Center in Wisconsin for the Spring Banquet and retreat. The weekend included great times of worship, fellowship and some very special testimony times as students reflected on God’s work in their life this past year. We were also blessed with challenging messages from Pastor Robert Lee and Mr. Jordan Langness. The weather was beautiful and provided great opportunities for recreation also. 

     The last couple weeks of school and finals went very quickly and before we knew it the Friday Spring Choir & Instrumental Ensemble Concert and Graduation had arrived. Thirty-seven students completed the requirements for graduation. We anticipate at least 65 of the junior students to return for their senior year. Please continue praying with us that God will bring to AFLBS this fall the students He wants to study here. 
     On Tuesday, May 20 we were all surprised when Mr. Jerry Nelson resigned as music director at AFLBS, a position he has very faithfully served in the past 17 years. He senses God calling him to a new mission or ministry opportunity. Mr. Nelson’s kind and humble spirit as well as always a pursuit of excellence will be missed, by students, faculty and staff alike. Please pray with us that God would guide very clearly in the calling of the new music director. If you or someone you know is interested in applying, see the details in the new music director position.

     The month of May concluded with a very exciting and intense four days of training for the eight summer teams which will be serving in congregations, Bible camps, and vacation Bible schools throughout the next ten weeks. A special commissioning service was held for the teams on Friday, May 30th with over 100 people attending. Each of the teams shared about their mission for the summer, were challenged by the message brought by AFLC president, Pastor Elden Nelson, and were strengthened by the Holy Communion and prayer time which followed. Please continue to pray for each of the teams.
