<i>Whether she's tending[br]to the flowers in the garden</i>

0:00:07.468,0:00:10.804
<i>or exploring new hiding spots[br]in her backyard,</i>

0:00:11.180,0:00:14.892
<i>Emma finds delight[br]in the simple pleasures of childhood.</i>

0:00:15.601,0:00:19.062
<i>Emma lives[br]on the Taiwan Adventist College campus.</i>

0:00:19.480,0:00:22.149
<i>As Emma approaches her 5th birthday,</i>

0:00:22.401,0:00:27.279
<i>her parents' hearts are filled[br]with a mixture of joy and uncertainty.</i>

0:00:27.696,0:00:32.284
<i>The lack of an Adventist elementary school[br]in Taiwan poses a challenge for them.</i>

0:00:32.576,0:00:36.122
As you can see that we actually only have[br]an academy here,

0:00:36.123,0:00:37.331
like middle school,

0:00:37.583,0:00:40.792
high school, and college[br]here on this campus,

0:00:41.126,0:00:44.838
<i>and then we don't really have[br]Adventist elementary school here.</i>

0:00:45.130,0:00:47.758
<i>The current situation requires[br]Adventist parents</i>

0:00:47.759,0:00:50.093
<i>to send their kids to other schools.</i>

0:00:50.346,0:00:56.226
We cannot find any schools[br]that teach Adventist belief and education,

0:00:56.227,0:00:59.353
<i>the holistic education[br]we always value at the church,</i>

0:00:59.770,0:01:06.110
<i>so I think this is appealing[br]to all Adventist parents in Taiwan.</i>

0:01:06.111,0:01:09.279
<i>We are really eager to have[br]Adventist elementary school</i>

0:01:09.280,0:01:11.740
that can be established in Taiwan.

0:01:11.949,0:01:16.620
<i>The new elementary school project aims[br]to lead young people to Christ.</i>

0:01:20.207,0:01:22.376
<i>Education should start early.</i>

0:01:22.626,0:01:24.920
<i>The Bible advises us to teach children</i>

0:01:24.921,0:01:27.923
<i>so that they do not stray[br]from their paths as they grow.</i>

0:01:28.090,0:01:32.136
<i>In this rapidly changing era[br]with many external influences,</i>

0:01:32.137,0:01:35.013
<i>we aim to nurture children[br]from primary school,</i>

0:01:35.389,0:01:39.476
<i>teaching them a reverence for God[br]and follow Him from a young age.</i>

0:01:39.726,0:01:41.478
<i>This way, as they grow up,</i>

0:01:41.479,0:01:43.855
<i>they will remember[br]these important lessons.</i>

0:01:46.525,0:01:50.070
<i>Through your generous[br]13th Sabbath Offering this quarter,</i>

0:01:50.237,0:01:53.073
<i>we can make this vision a reality.</i>

0:01:53.240,0:01:58.788
<i>I believe[br]that the Adventist elementary school</i>

0:01:58.789,0:02:02.417
<i>can help my daughter[br]to learn the right [values]</i>

0:02:03.333,0:02:07.337
<i>and also to help[br]her character development in the future.</i>

0:02:07.921,0:02:10.215
<i>Please pray for Emma and other kids</i>

0:02:10.216,0:02:13.176
<i>who are hoping[br]for an Adventist elementary school</i>

0:02:13.177,0:02:14.261
<i>in Taiwan.</i>

0:02:14.553,0:02:17.139
Thank you for supporting[br]the Mission Offering.

0:02:19.351,0:02:22.311
I want to go to Adventist school!
