GREETINGS FROM ALACCA!

Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

Jeremiah 17:7

Equipped for Evangelism April 16-18, 2010

Don't miss this opportunity to be obedient to God's call for all believers to share the good news of His Gospel. God's word is clear in directing us to share the hope that lies within with a lost and dying world, as He desires that none should perish. People are perishing all around: some are strangers or those in foreign lands, but just as many are our family and friends. You will receive information and a variety of tools designed to increase your ability to open your mouth for Jesus Christ. There will be speakers, DVD presentations, training sessions, and plenty of time for practice and fun. This is a great opportunity for individuals, families, church teams, Sunday School teachers, youth leaders, etc.

The weekend will start with check-in Friday April 16th from 5:00 – 6:00 pm with dinner at 6:30 pm and end after lunch on Sunday April 18th. The fee is $50.00, which includes sessions, food, and lodging. Registration is required.

---------- EXCITING GIVING OPPORTUNITY ----------

God has provided ALACCA with an incredibly generous donation of $2,000.00 in the form of a matching challenge for purchase of the CampWise camp management software. For every dollar donated toward the purchase of CampWise, the donor will match that amount up to $2,000.00. That would provide the approximately $4,000.00 need to purchase and implement the new system. The system will stream line the registration, check-in, payment, cabin assignment, activity scheduling, camp store, and donation processes, as well as increasing, and improving donor and camper communications. All of which frees up our time to focus more time on getting God's Word out. Please be in prayer as to what God might have you do in response to this challenge and to God be the glory!

My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue, but indeed and in truth. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
