May Flowers

Cherry blossoms from our tree in our back yard:



Hannah turns 18! (our little girl blossoming into a woman!)






Six students professed their faith in Jesus Christ as their Savior and desire to live for Him through water baptism. It was exciting to hear each of these students tell how they came to the place in their lives when they realized their need for salvation as well as the importance of commiting their lives to living for Him. Five out of six of these young people were baptised by their dads and prayed for by their mom's. The other was baptized by her dorm parents.


























" And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, "teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen. (Matthew 28 18-20)

Spring Break Missions Trips

During Spring break many of our students and staff went on missions trips.

Here are some photos taken on the missions trip to Kenya- these were taken by Bernie who runs the school called Helping Hands. Half of our team worked here while the other half worked at the orphanage. Aren't these little kids beautiful?! A number of them are physically handicapped and all of them do not have many worldly possessions. They were delighted to be able to play with balloons, to blow bubbles, to make The Wordless Book, to play games together with our team, and most of all, to receive a lot of love and attention from our team members!






































































































We are so thankful to be a part of the vision of the Black Forest Academy to equip our students to impact the world for Christ!
