Today, the Alfa & Omega community in Dénia celebrated the 60th anniversary of the acquisition of the land upon which the school sits today. During this time, it has been the site for summer camps, radio program broadcasts, Christian conferences and mission trips from all around the world. And 40 years ago, a group of dedicated teachers and administrators founded Colegio Alfa & Omega that would provide Christ-centered education to generations of children on the Costa Blanca and beyond.
The group gathered at Alfa & Omega on this day honored those who came before them and celebrated God’s faithfulness over the past 60 years. Jorge Pastor, the founder and executive director of Colegio Alfa & Omega for its first 40 years, told stories and shared many of his memories during the celebration. A special guest on hand for the festivities was Linda Hoffman, from Louisville, KY, who attended the very first camp as a missionary kid back in 1962. A group of Alfa & Omega teachers and staff: Toñi, Inés, Candy and Eunice, related personal anecdotes from their long history of serving at the school. And finally, a heartfelt thanks went to the volunteers from all around the world past and present for their great work and dedication.
The celebration ended with a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday and healthy servings of a beautiful birthday cake:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALFA & OMEGA, MAY YOU HAVE MANY MORE AND GOD BLESS YOU!!
