The New Fall Season is Here

Well folks there have been a couple of chances here at the Adventure Learning Centre. First of all, we have a new Executive Director, Pastor Chet Lowe. If you are not familiar with him, Pastor Chet has been part of Calvary Chapel of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for over 20 years. He became a Pastor about 13 years or more. During his time as Pastor, he has started up many churches and ran a program in Montana. Potters Field, this is Discipleship training. He has been doing this for awhile now. This is a time for kids from 18 to 26 year old, to draw closer to our Lord Jesus Christ. It runs for 4 months. During that time they have Bible teachings that cover 22 Books of the Bible. Plus there is a boot camp technique there. This is not a regular Bible School. So Pastor Chet believes this is his gift to Disciple. So he as talked with Pastor Bob Coy about this and he has brought it over here in the Bahamas. Pastor Chet is a Bahamian and was raised up on this island, (as a child). So in January this will start here. They are looking for 20 kids to come over and do this, boot camp. Patmos is the name of this program.
During these last three days Pastor Chet has been sharing his heart with our staff here. I am looking forward to see this take off and be part of the staff here, to help them at what ever needs are there. Just what he has talked about during this time we are just as excide as the staff of Patmos is.
Here is more about his heart about the three areas that he over sees. First is The Adventure Learning Centre. We are like the Disciples to get the Word out, teaching the Gospel, 80% education of nature and 20% The Word.
The next area is The Camp. That place is to make Disciples and let everyone know that is the only reason the Camp will be used for. If you have read some of my blogs before, you can see some people coming through here didn’t really have that out look for their stay here. So this alone will be more about them living out their lives as Christ did.
Then I have already talked about Patmos. That is going to be part of the camp and Adventure Learning Centre. They will live at the camp. The barn, at the centre will be their classroom. Plus during the day Patmos kids will be helping us out, where ever we will need them. So just about what I have written, is just a drop in the bucket. I have so much more to tell you about. But I know I have already lost most of you. So please let me know what you think and e mail me. May our Lord bless your day and keep you. Bye for now Tom, Phil 4:13

Hello folks, having some trouble with my computer.

Yes it is hard to explain. But I am sorry that I have not written to you all for a while. There seams to be a virus that my laptop picked on Sept 3rd. Plus around that day we chanced out server and e mail address. So right now I only have a couple of peoples addresses. So if you could PLEASE e mail your addresses and I will write back to you. The computer that I am using is the one that all staff uses. So it might be a while before I get back with you. So please e mail at the same address. toms@alcbahamas.org That is the same but like I said before I don’t have my address book any more. I have written up a blog last week on what is going on here. I hope to send that may be tonight. Bye for now Tom, Phil 4:13
