There is something new happening at the ALC. Its called Patmos, it means "my killing" - sounds good doesn't it? The director (Chet Lowe, a Bahamian) calls it "reality discipleship" but I like to call it "Christian bootcamp". Let me tell you why.

Its a little like the LIFT program, for those who know what that is. Just add in more intense bible study classes and physical challenges that are beyond their limits. The idea is to be bathed in the Word of God then letting it soak into the soul with physical challenges that you can not help but suffer under.

Suffering and exhaustion seem to bring out the worst in us, so part of this suffering is to bring to the surface what is really inside you...the stuff you didn't know was there.

And for those who think physical challenges they can do, think again.

I'm not allowed to let the top secret challenges out but know that flesh will be kicked - your flesh that is!
