A Heart of gratitude!

Last night after service, I intentionally drove to the parking lot of the new school. I wanted to see the lighting improvements that were made to the outside parking area last week while I was out of town. It had just finished raining and there was a reflection and shine on the whole school. Several electricians have been working diligently to finish this last phase. It was absolutely stunning! My heart was filled with gratitude and thanksgiving toward the Lord for what He has entrusted us with. Then to top it off, it will be paid for by the end of the Year! God is so Good to us. I thanked God for the Team that He has raised to see the fulfillment of this dream and vision. Mr. Savoie, our school principal, has been so dedicated to the oversight of this project for 3 years now. Dan, thank you for your hard work and dedication, to this ministry and your personal family!

The "new" LCA parking area under a dark sky!

I began to thank the Lord for all the teachers, coaches, volunteers, assistants, teacher aides, grounds and maintenance crews, administrators and cooks, that make this place happen for over 500 students throughout the year. Earlier on, I was watching the football team practice for our first year of "TACKLE FOOTBALL". A volunteer coaching staff simply apperared to dedicate time and effort to Coach Guidroz. Thank you all who "step up to the plate" on occasions and get the job done. Over the past 16 months or so, we have been aligning LCA towards State accreditation, and soon we will have that certification. This coming week, we will make history once again by the highest enrollment in a 32 year history, nearly 500 students as of yesterday!

Our campus and facility continually increases and improves. We are already making and drawing up plans for the next multi-purpose facility. A building consisting of basketball courts, volleyball, racket ball, tennis, weight facility and so much more. A 4 million dollar facility spread out on the 22 acres in back. We must stay the course, stay focused, stay humble, and trust God each and every day. Thank you all for supporting the vision and believing in US!
