This is two mischevious students, that Mr. Lewis so graciously trusts….with his computer and editing the blog. We are currently sitting on the cafteria floor while the rest of the students run around the school like a herd of elephants. (planning for Sunday)
p.s we would like to remind you that we are flying……………………………………………well, you know what could happen. But we are safe for now, See you in 10 days…………………………hopefully!……….let the countdown begin!
The time has finally arrived! After a year of planning and prayer, and MORE prayer and planning, the twenty-two seniors in the Class of 2012 and six chaperones are ready to leave the campus of Lititz Christian and head to BWI for a 5:30 a.m. flight to the Bahamas on Saturday morning. While in the Bahamas, we will be serving at a Haitian-speaking church service on Sunday, physically preparing Camp Bahamas for their summer camping season and running some soccer and volleyball clinics for the local Bahamian children. We are very excited about this opportunity to step out of our comfort zones and serve others in another country and build relationships that may very well have an eternal impact.
If you don’t mind, we have some specific prayer requests that we would love for you to take before the Lord on our behalf:
Thanks for your support and prayer!

We will have a time of prayer for our senior trip this Sunday at 10:30 a.m. for those students and parents who attend Grace Church. We will meet in the new prayer room located across from the Nursery. Thanks!
We will meet on Friday night, May 18 in the LCS Cafeteria at 7:00 p.m. for a time of prayer with students and parents, then we kindly ask that parents leave shortly thereafter so we can begin our preparations with the students to go over important details for Saturday.
After parents leave, we will be eating dinner as a group (probably pizza), so the group leaders can spend some focused time with the seniors. We will then be preparing luggage, going over packing lists one final time and reviewing travel itinerary.
Of course, as you know, we will be loading luggage sometime around midnight so we can leave promptly at 1:30 a.m. on Saturday morning.
I contacted Richard Albury, the director of Camp Bahamas, and he communicated to me that if anyone purchases bed sheets to use for our week at the camp and then donate at the end of the week, they need to be: white, twin-fitted, flat and pillow case.
Hope this helps!
Great news! I have met with Cindy Layton and we are preparing our final check to Camp Bahamas for our room and board! So, the trip will finally be paid for (mostly). Praise God! We still need some additional funds to pay for transportation to and from the airport and to have some “just in case” funds, but the two main needs are covered – plane tickets and room & board. We are very excited at God’s provision! If you do hear of anyone still interested in supporting the trip, gladly tell them that we will use those funds to bless the camp in any way that we can.
Thanks to each of you for your hard work and support for this ministry opportunity! This was a team effort and I am thankful.
Monday, May 14 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. is our final Senior Trip meeting before we leave! We will be going over packing lists, travel itinerary, our plans for the Friday night before we leave, etc. We will meet in the Young Chapel.
As of March 14, we have raised over $11,400 through the support letters. We will have an update of the funds raised through the Otis Spunkmyer, subs, Smoke on the Mountain dinner/concessions by next week! Praise God for His provision!
