In the Camping ministry major's Caving skills course, students learn the basics of horizontal wild caving and standards published by National Speleological Society. An experienced caver, Mr. Skaggs stresses responsible, minimum-impact caving; sometimes that means cleaning up others' vandalism. Like every other part of God's creation, caves display his glory!

Pray for six ABC students who are serving in Togo, West Africa during this break between semesters. Missions and Elementary Education majors, they are teaching English as an avenue for sharing the gospel; they also did a sports outreach over the weekend, and toured a remote area where pagan religion dominates.

Hear from a few ABC students, and a recent grad, about their experiences and advice.
"When I decided to pursue full-time ministry I wanted to attend a school that was able to give me the best education I could receive. I was an older student and was leaving my vocation as a detective in a police department in Ohio. ABC equipped me with the foundation I needed to pursue God's leading. I have pastored three churches since graduation and I am currently serving as the pastor of Daniels Missionary Baptist Church here in WV.
"ABC has been a blessing to me over the years—they are part of my family. All three of my children have graduated from ABC with various degrees and are currently serving the Lord. There is not, in my opinion, a better school to receive training for a life of service."
- Timothy Dillon, Class of 1993

"While I did not graduate with an elementary education degree, I took several of these courses over my years at ABC. God has used these courses in my life as I now teach English online to children in China. While this is a secular job, I have been able to build a relationship with students that has extended to outside of the classroom. I have even been able to send a card to one of my students. Amidst real world issues like the coronavirus, I am able to provide care for my students. I pray that I am able to show God's love to these students in my teaching and interactions with them. ABC's teaching classes have been from a Christian perspective and have shown me how to incorporate Christ in even my teaching."
- Kayla, Class of 2019
