Great weather - lots of work getting done!




David and Martin painting the bus!


They are so proud!



So pretty and white - ready for a new design


We've had this yellow bus for quite a while, waiting for an art and design college to come put a mural on it. All this time it's been boring school bus yellow, but now, thanks to the great maintenance crew, it's bright white, and ready for new design. A missions team from SCAD - Savannah College of Art and Design will be here Saturday to start on a new design for a mural that will cover the whole bus. It had to be sanded and painted a base coat of white so that it was ready to receive its new design. What a blessing for ALC.

ALC is known for its special buses. They are seen all over the island and recognized by the wonderful paintings on the outside. The kids look forward to riding in the jungle bus which was painted by the same group several years ago. It is great to see the looks on the faces of the kids riding in the bus as they come into the Centre each day. Even when we are using the bus for other outings, people wave at you because they love The Adventure Learning Centre. It means so much to them that their children hear about Jesus, even while they are at school.

It will be exciting to watch the group from start to finish next week. I will post pictures along the way, so you can see how it develops.
