We praise the Lord for the many opportunities God gave us during the month of April to share the Gospel in word and song with many individuals and congregations.  During spring break, April 4th-20th, the Concert Choir shared concerts in Fargo, Minot, Stanley, and Williston, ND; Kalispell, MT; Lake Stevens, Arlington, and Kirkland, WA; Astoria and Eugene, OR; Loveland, CO; Laurel, NE and Sioux Falls, SD.  Pastor Joel Rolf, AFLBS Dean, traveled with the choir and shared a message at each of these concerts.  Many students shared what a blessing it was not only to share the concerts, but also the warm fellowship times they had in the host homes each evening!  Thank you to all of you who shared your hospitality!  It was also a joy to see students looking for opportunities to share Jesus with others wherever we stopped along the way! 

During the same spring break, the new Mission Field Study Class taught by Pastor Richard Gunderson, and assisted by Pastor Connely Dyrud, spent two weeks working with the Home Mission congregation in Mesa, AZ doing outreach and another group went to Nogales, AZ and Mexico for more ministry opportunities and personally sharing the gospel.  Each of the students spoke positively about the experiences! 

The last weekend of April, the Women’s Chorale and Men’s Quartet shared concerts in Cloquet and Duluth, MN and Ontanogan and Ishpeming, MI.  Again it was a great joy to proclaim the riches of God’s grace in Christ!  Thank you for your faithful prayer support.  It is humbling and encouraging to see and hear how God used these means to draw people to Himself!  Several also expressed new interest in coming to AFLBS as students!

There are only a few classes left now and students are preparing for final exams May 13th-15th.  The Spring Concert of the Concert Choir, Women’s Chorale and Instrumental Wind Ensemble will be Friday, May 16th at 8PM.  If you are within driving distance, we invite you to come!  The Graduation service will be Saturday, May 17th at 1PM. 

• Continue to pray for all the graduates as they seek God’s direction for their future.
• Pray that God will guide and provide for the students He wants to be at AFLBS next fall.
• 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.  Eight teams will be trained May 27th-30th.
• 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.
