1
00:00:05,007 --> 00:00:07,467
<i>Whether she's tending
to the flowers in the garden</i>

2
00:00:07,468 --> 00:00:10,804
<i>or exploring new hiding spots
in her backyard,</i>

3
00:00:11,180 --> 00:00:14,633
<i>Emma finds delight
in the simple pleasures of childhood.</i>

4
00:00:15,601 --> 00:00:19,062
<i>Emma lives
on the Taiwan Adventist College campus.</i>

5
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,149
<i>As Emma approaches her 5th birthday,</i>

6
00:00:22,471 --> 00:00:27,189
<i>her parents' hearts are filled
with a mixture of joy and uncertainty.</i>

7
00:00:27,696 --> 00:00:32,064
<i>The lack of an Adventist elementary school
in Taiwan poses a challenge for them.</i>

8
00:00:32,576 --> 00:00:36,122
As you can see that we actually only have
an academy here,

9
00:00:36,123 --> 00:00:37,331
like middle school,

10
00:00:37,583 --> 00:00:40,792
high school, and college
here on this campus,

11
00:00:41,126 --> 00:00:44,838
<i>and then we don't really have
Adventist elementary school here.</i>

12
00:00:45,130 --> 00:00:47,758
<i>The current situation requires
Adventist parents</i>

13
00:00:47,759 --> 00:00:50,093
<i>to send their kids to other schools.</i>

14
00:00:50,346 --> 00:00:56,226
We cannot find any schools
that teach Adventist belief and education,

15
00:00:56,227 --> 00:00:59,353
<i>the holistic education
we always value at the church,</i>

16
00:00:59,770 --> 00:01:06,110
<i>so I think this is appealing
to all Adventist parents in Taiwan.</i>

17
00:01:06,111 --> 00:01:09,279
<i>We are really eager to have
Adventist elementary school</i>

18
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,740
that can be established in Taiwan.

19
00:01:11,949 --> 00:01:16,370
<i>The new elementary school project aims
to lead young people to Christ.</i>

20
00:01:20,207 --> 00:01:22,376
Education should start early.

21
00:01:22,626 --> 00:01:24,920
<i>The Bible advises us to teach children</i>

22
00:01:24,921 --> 00:01:27,693
<i>so that they do not stray
from their paths as they grow.</i>

23
00:01:28,090 --> 00:01:32,136
<i>In this rapidly changing era
with many external influences,</i>

24
00:01:32,137 --> 00:01:34,786
<i>we aim to nurture children
from primary school,</i>

25
00:01:35,389 --> 00:01:39,335
<i>teaching them a reverence for God
and follow Him from a young age.</i>

26
00:01:39,726 --> 00:01:41,478
<i>This way, as they grow up,</i>

27
00:01:41,479 --> 00:01:43,589
<i>they will remember
these important lessons.</i>

28
00:01:46,525 --> 00:01:50,237
<i>Through your generous
13th Sabbath Offering this quarter,</i>

29
00:01:50,237 --> 00:01:52,745
<i>we can make this vision a reality.</i>

30
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:58,788
<i>I believe
that the Adventist elementary school</i>

31
00:01:58,789 --> 00:02:02,417
<i>can help my daughter
to learn the right values</i>

32
00:02:03,333 --> 00:02:07,337
<i>and also to help
her character development in the future.</i>

33
00:02:07,921 --> 00:02:10,215
<i>Please pray for Emma and other kids</i>

34
00:02:10,216 --> 00:02:13,176
<i>who are hoping
for an Adventist elementary school</i>

35
00:02:13,177 --> 00:02:14,261
<i>in Taiwan.</i>

36
00:02:14,553 --> 00:02:17,139
Thank you for supporting Mission Offering.

37
00:02:19,351 --> 00:02:22,311
I want to go to Adventist school!
