Each day when I report to work and get my instructions from Dan, I’m continually amazed by him and his excitement to make this place the best it can be. All of the “full-time” volunteers here at Alaska Christian College are totally dedicated to the joy of making this institution all it can be. What a dedicated team they all are. Each of them have an amazing story of how they decided to dedicate themselves to full-time service to our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Working along side of these energetic souls is a comfort alone knowing that you are appreciated in whatever skills you bring to the game. I’ve had a thrill in enhancing the appearance of the college in many areas this week: rebuilding picnic tables, repairing walkways, hanging fire extinguishers, repairing the eye wash station in the science lab, repairing an exhaust fan in a bathroom shower, installing over 180 chair glides on the feet of the dining room chairs, then steam cleaning the cushions of the soiled chairs, repairing holes in walls, sanding and texturing and painting, cleaning a 50’ x 100’ shop/garage, and still more jobs to come tomorrow. It’s a blessing to do many of these jobs with my fellow mission team from Sunset Presbyterian Church.
What a joy this experience has been because God has blessed me with a great team to work and fellowship with, along with the team of God selected volunteer staff here at ACC. I know that our labor is not in vain. The students who will return this fall will feel how special this campus is and how it is the place that will change their lives forever. God is at work here in the staff and faculty of ACC.
Wow! What an experience. Yes, I’d do it again.
