Update and newlsetter from Michael Meanderings to family, friends, and supportersTRANSCRIPT
birth through three years
old. What a privilege it is
to be a part of each of these
girls lives as they are
making life-altering
decisions for their future.
I have spent countless
hours praying with and
mentoring these young
women through each of
these decision-making
processes. I believe that the
development of these
relationships will extend
far past their days here at
the Bible college.
I look forward to hearing
about their new adventures
this fall when I return after
my short stint of home
service this summer.
After many months of
prayer, conversations &
questions, one of the gals
from the dorm recently
accepted Christ as her
personal Lord and Savior. It
was such a blessing to see
how God began to draw her
to Himself, using life's many
challenges and difficulties.
This doesn’t take away those
challenges and struggles,
but it has given her new
hope and joy she hadn’t
known before.
This news comes on the
heels of the healing and re-
covery of our beloved
Professor Gene Horst as he
has returned home to
continue his recovery efforts.
God is still at work on our Campus.

God continues to work in
and through our students
here on campus. Two of our
young gals are using the
tools they have learned to
minister in other areas of
the world. One of the girls
has been accepted to Bethel
nursing school this fall, and
is looking forward to sharing
her faith with others in the
medical field. The other will
be spending this summer in
Kenya working in a
orphanage, for children ages

how well Gene was
progressing. Saturday
was spent tubing,
snowboarding, playing
broom ball and
board games,
and enjoying
more food than
we could imag-
ine! It was a
wonderful time
for the faculty,
staff and stu-
dents to enjoy
the brief break
from classes.
Approximately 40 mem-
bers of ABC’s family
attended this year’s
retreat located for the
first time at Birchwood
Christian Camp, about
30 min. north of
Anchorage. Friday was a
day of shopping, bowling
and visiting with one of
our faculty members who
had been in the hospital
since early February
after a fall from the roof
of his home. What a
treat it was for the
Winter Retreat or Spring Break?
