Tom Schafer’s New Letter July 3rd 2012 During this last year or so, I have taken a young man into my household. His name is Kevin Emmanuel Poitier. He is 17 years old, plus he will be going into the 12th grade next school year. He finished with a 2.55 grade. During his first part of the school year, he was not doing too well. But about three months ago, I made a deal with him to get his grade up. He has been such a blessing and I am so proud of him I have been part of a wonderful ministry called the Adventure Learning Centre of Nassau, Bahamas. While there I have the honor to oversee the maintenance at both properties Centre/Camp. We have been moving forward on our new Bath House at the ALC Camp. This has been a work in action now for almost 7 years. Last week we open up both sides of the showers. (boys/girls) Hopefully by the time I leave to go to Fort Laud, toilets and sinks will be in too. During July 16th to the 24th 2012, I am here for the Mission Retreat-Pastor Chet is overseeing during 18th to the 20th. While here you can get a hold of me cell # 954-655-2057. If you would like to have lunch or anything, please feel free to call me while I am here in town. I would love to share about all God has been doing in my life since I have been here at the ALC/ 2005. The cost of living here is much more than it is in Florida. Just think if you buy a jar of peanut butter here: $3.99. That same jar is $9.00. The reason is, shipping and duty on all things we buy there. Most times 50% mark up. If you would like to support me: Go to this web site: www.shepsstaff.org Please, look up Missionaries name: Schafer #4303. This is the way to get a tax write off. I have added a $1.00 Bahamian in this letter. I ask if you could please put this on your refrigerator and when you see it up there, say a prayer or too for us. Here is my e mail address: toms@alcbahamas.org This is the best way to get hold of me there, in The Bahamas. Plus I have a Blog: http://tombahamas.blogspot.com Thank you for your time and look forward in hearing from you. Bye Tom Schafer
