Eleven middle school students, along with ACS parents Ruby Lewis, Lori Pearson, and Carolina Ramos, spent March 28-31 in Washington, DC on a missions trip where they assisted Alzheimer’s and other patients at a rehabilitation center, fed the homeless, took a prayer tour, and visited various historical sites.
“The students were constantly complimented on their good manners and excellent behavior everywhere they went,” said chaperone Mrs. Lewis. “They represented the school and Christ in such an impactful way.”
The students’ main ministry during the trip was prayer, serving others, and being a light to those around them. In the rehabilitation center, they visited patients, served them lunch, and assisted with their physical therapy. While serving the homeless, they also cleaned their shelter and joined them in a Bible study. On their prayer tour they passed by shelters, churches, and recreation centers, praying at every location.
At the end of the trip, the students learned some history as they visited the World War II, Lincoln, and Vietnam Memorials. They concluded their trip by visiting the famous DC Georgetown Cupcakes shop and sampling some of the delicious desserts.
