From Coatesville to Belize: Sharing God’s Love

Our recent Missions Chapel was a powerful time of testimony and encouragement! Mr. David Genter led the chapel, setting the tone for the morning. A slideshow of photos from the recent missions trips was shared, giving students a glimpse into the incredible work God is doing through our teams.

Mr. George Dickson spoke about the trip to Coatesville, PA and introduced several Middle School students who shared what the experience meant to them.

Mr. Genter then introduced our High School missions team that served in Belize. A few high school students shared moving stories of their time there—how the children remembered them, and how joyful and full of faith the kids were, even in the face of hardship.

Each student’s testimony reminded us that going on a missions trip is more than just serving—it’s about spreading God’s love and being changed in the process. Many of our students encouraged their peers to consider going, saying it’s a life-changing experience. Here are some photos from the chapel!

Middle School, High School Students to Share God’s Love With Children in Coatesville During Easter Break Missions Trip

Fifteen middle school students and five high school students will spend part of Easter break in Coatesville, Pennsylvania doing volunteer service for the Bridge Academy, a non-profit that works with inner-city children from preschool to the 8th grade. The ACS missions team will work with the young people in the Academy’s after-school program and also help with cooking, upkeep of the facility, and other hands-on projects at the Camp at Old Mill, which the Academy uses for summer youth camp programs.

Leading the team as chaperones during the April 10-13 missions trip will be faculty member and ACS parents Daniel Vasquez, his wife, Erin, and school nurse and ACS parent Carrie Jorgenson. Vasquez said the high school students on the trip will be assisting as team leaders, giving them an excellent opportunity to serve and learn valuable leadership skills.

“The goal of this missions trip is to help develop a heart to serve within our students and to understand what it means to be the hands and feet of Jesus,” Vasquez said.

The middle school students participating in the trip are: Liam Aspenberg, Ethan Brumble, Aiden Costantini, Christian Delacruz, Caelyn Domsic, Chase Hagel, Brandon Jorgenson, Greta Rebecca Kleinman, Liam Larkin, Grace Lushina, Malena Meyer, Julia Morris, Bezute Ngwabi, Lillian Porreca, and Lexi Wyckoff. The high school trip participants are: Gabriella Goodwin, Manny Johnson, Luke Mills, Kennedy Vasquez, and Malachi Vasquez.

This is the fourth year that an ACS missions team has served in Coatesville at the Bridge Academy, building on a relationship that began in 2017.
