Every July, ACE hosts a three-day vacation bible school (VBS) for the children in our community. While we usually host three different camps in multiple locations, this year was a little different. Yet God showed up in mighty ways and reminded me that ACE focuses on going deep, not wide. Read the full article to see how the team from FCC Stillwater helped us teach roughly 50 children how to magnify the greatness of God.

What a treat it was this month to have a first-time medical and dental team volunteer at ACE to help us serve St. Mary Parish! Normally, wellness teams join us in February, so you can imagine the courage and dedication this team from First Baptist Madison had wearing their scrubs in the summer heat and hauling their equipment into the depths of St. Mary Parish. Read the full article to discover how this special wellness clinic helped us prepare for the start of the upcoming school year.

Answered Prayers & Prayer Requests

ANSWERED PRAYER All of our students are prepared for the upcoming school year, thanks to sponsors and volunteers who brought book bags, clothing, supplies, and everything in between. Stay tuned for a detailed highlight of what ACE is doing for the students in our next newsletter.

PRAYER REQUEST All of our AC units in the wellness center are over 12 years old and on their last legs. The wellness providers sweated through each day, both inside and outside. We need to replace all of the air conditioning units. We received a quote from our vendors to change out the systems so that it can be cool inside. If you can help us replace them, please email Susan at office@acexperience.org.



ANSWERED PRAYER We hosted VBS a couple of weeks ago, and everything went very smoothly! Sometimes, we forget how having fun and hearing the good news of Christ can blend together so well. Thank you to everyone who helped make VBS possible this year!

PRAYER REQUEST This time of year is very dry. We are praying for rain, rain, and more rain. Not a hurricane, but rain. We are also asking for help with receiving and mounting a permanent water tank on a truck that we purchased. As usual, funds are tight, but we also know that God knows our needs. Would you consider helping us purchase a water tank to go on the truck for our hardworking farm staff? In order to water our cows, they currently have to use our dumper truck to load and offload small tanks every day.

ANSWERED PRAYER With the summer volunteers arriving refreshed and full of vision, we have been so fortunate to have experts guide us on our new aeroponic greenhouse. We don't have anything planted yet, but we do have the electrical lines up and the water tanks in place. We are in the process of installing a reverse osmosis purification system before we can grow the plants. Thank you all for getting us this far.
