Dear Class of 2017 and your families:

Let me be among the first to congratulate you on beginning your final chapter of high school at Prince Avenue Christian School! I know that just as God has guided your steps to this point, He still has so much in store for you over the course of your senior year. My prayer for each one of you, specifically over the next 9 months, is that God will grow you and strengthen you. Spiritual growth and strength, however, come as the result of our intentional submission to God and allowing Him to stretch us beyond our normal comfort zones. One such opportunity for spiritual growth and strengthening is our international senior mission trip.  

From February 25-March 4, we will be serving the people and needs of Guaimaca, Honduras. While in Honduras, we will have the opportunity to teach English in schools, present the Gospel of Jesus Christ in very practical ways, and experience the beauty and diversity of this Latin American country. Without a doubt, this is absolutely a life-changing and perspective-changing trip that will impact you for the rest of your life. 

The total cost for this trip is $2,000. This fee includes airfare, food and lodging in Honduras. To assist our PACS families, the $2,000 amount will be billed in four monthly installments of $500 each beginning on October 1st. All billing will be processed through FACTS. Additionally, the business office will accept donations from friends and family made on your behalf.  You can pick up donation forms in business office of the school). 

Over the next few weeks, I encourage you to pray and seek guidance as to how God would use you in Honduras in February.  

Please plan to attend our international mission trip informational meeting for seniors and parents on Monday, September 12 at 7:30pm in the PACS cafeteria.   

I look forward to serving with you in Honduras and getting to know each of you better over the next few weeks!

Director of Spiritual Life

As many of you know, thousands of families have been greatly affected by the flooding in Louisiana. It is easy to get overwhelmed by the totality of the situations and crises like this that we become paralyzed in our good intentions…wanting to help, but not knowing where to even begin. Our purest desire is to “just do something,” but we’re not quite sure what “something” even looks like.

In these moments, partnerships are absolutely invaluable. Our partner in helping the victims in Louisiana is Prince Avenue Baptist Church. Pastor Sky Pratt, the College Pastor at PABC, is currently in contact with the Collegiate Ministry Director at LSU.

Through the outpouring of support from around the nation, clothing, food, bottled water, toiletries, etc. have been abundantly donated. What is needed most now are fans and dehumidifiers. So, PABC is putting out the call to their congregation to donate fans and dehumidifiers…and they have invited us into joining them in this endeavor.

If you can donate either of these items, they will be collected by the church on Friday (9/2) afternoon, loaded in a moving truck, driven to Louisiana, and distributed to those in need. If you can simply drop the fan and/or dehumidifier off in the front office, we’ll make sure that it gets where it needs to go!

Thank you so much!!!
