As posted before in my first installment after arriving in Nassau, I wasn't involved in much ministry off the ship due to engine room scheduling. However, one place I did make it to and thoroughly enjoyed was the A.V.C. camp. One of our ministry directors on board who is from Indiana, started missions work for the local Bahamians over 15 years ago. His vision was to build a camp for youth to attend, learn, and hear the Gospel while having a wonderful time. I'm not even exaggerating when I write that nearly 100% of all school kids on this island have spent some time here. Since it was founded, many additions have been added such as: horses, a surprisingly large petting zoo, rock climbing wall, a massive pavilion where over 100 of ship's company had dinner, and it's biggest attraction: an impressive planetarium. Although I didn't ride the horses (long line), the train was surprisingly fun! There were quite a few employees on site to host us and demonstrate what all goes on for the kiddos. In the planetarium, the teacher's main focus was to teach about space while giving the Gospel of Christ (think of Louie Giglio). I was very impressed with how well done and professional everything was. The construction phase is never actually over as they are continuously adding beds, class rooms, and activities. I urge you to check them out at: www.alcbahamas.org
