It was a special joy to spend time with future AFCers from the Class of 2016 and Class of 2017!  SHINE is the AFC welcome weekend for HS juniors and seniors and their parents.   Activities began on Friday evening and went through Sunday morning’s worship assembly at the A&M Church of Christ.  Here are a few photo highlights.

Luke Dotson, Class of ’15 and this year’s SHINE coordinator, gives a personal invitation for all students to come to join us for this great event.

With Spring Break next week, AFCers are scattering and will be involved in lots of different activities.  There will be two groups headed out on mission trips.  Here is a video telling about their plans and needs.

Calling all Aggies For Christ! Wherever you are around the world! On April 21-22 of 2012 we are gathering in Aggieland to celebrate 40 years of Aggies For Christ. It was in May of 1972 that Bob Davidson and 12 students boarded a borrowed bus for what was to have been a two week long trip through several southern states. Dan Warden, preacher for the A&M Church of Christ at the time was planning to write an article in a church publication about the trip and asked what he could use as a name for the group. “Aggies For Christ” was the answer and that name stuck.

The bus broke down in Morrilton, Arkansas and while the engine was being repaired, the group stayed at Southern Christian Children’s Home and found plenty to do, showing love to the children and serving the Home. This unexpected but wonderful experience was the beginning of the AFC tradition of ministry trips to children’s homes and host churches that has spanned four decades.

Early 1980's AFC Trip

Aggies For Christ still gather on the church parking lot, circle up and pray before heading out on ministry trips.  We praise God for such wonderful opportunities!  Join the AFC Reunion on April 21-22 to celebrate, remember and praise our gracious LORD.  More information is on the reunion webpage.  To register click the link below.
