00:00:05.007 --> 00:00:07.467
<i>Whether she's tending
to the flowers in the garden</i>

00:00:07.468 --> 00:00:10.804
<i>or exploring new hiding spots
in her backyard,</i>

00:00:11.180 --> 00:00:14.633
<i>Emma finds delight
in the simple pleasures of childhood.</i>

00:00:15.601 --> 00:00:19.062
<i>Emma lives
on the Taiwan Adventist College campus.</i>

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

00:00:22.471 --> 00:00:27.189
<i>her parents' hearts are filled
with a mixture of joy and uncertainty.</i>

00:00:27.696 --> 00:00:32.064
<i>The lack of an Adventist elementary school
in Taiwan poses a challenge for them.</i>

00:00:32.576 --> 00:00:36.122
As you can see that we actually only have
an academy here,

00:00:36.123 --> 00:00:37.331
like middle school,

00:00:37.583 --> 00:00:40.792
high school, and college
here on this campus,

00:00:41.126 --> 00:00:44.838
<i>and then we don't really have
Adventist elementary school here.</i>

00:00:45.130 --> 00:00:47.758
<i>The current situation requires
Adventist parents</i>

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

00:00:50.346 --> 00:00:56.226
We cannot find any schools
that teach Adventist belief and education,

00:00:56.227 --> 00:00:59.353
<i>the holistic education
we always value at the church,</i>

00:00:59.770 --> 00:01:06.110
<i>so I think this is appealing
to all Adventist parents in Taiwan.</i>

00:01:06.111 --> 00:01:09.279
<i>We are really eager to have
Adventist elementary school</i>

00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:11.740
that can be established in Taiwan.

00:01:11.949 --> 00:01:16.370
<i>The new elementary school project aims
to lead young people to Christ.</i>

00:01:20.207 --> 00:01:22.376
Education should start early.

00:01:22.626 --> 00:01:24.920
<i>The Bible advises us to teach children</i>

00:01:24.921 --> 00:01:27.693
<i>so that they do not stray
from their paths as they grow.</i>

00:01:28.090 --> 00:01:32.136
<i>In this rapidly changing era
with many external influences,</i>

00:01:32.137 --> 00:01:34.786
<i>we aim to nurture children
from primary school,</i>

00:01:35.389 --> 00:01:39.335
<i>teaching them a reverence for God
and follow Him from a young age.</i>

00:01:39.726 --> 00:01:41.478
<i>This way, as they grow up,</i>

00:01:41.479 --> 00:01:43.589
<i>they will remember
these important lessons.</i>

00:01:46.525 --> 00:01:50.237
<i>Through your generous
13th Sabbath Offering this quarter,</i>

00:01:50.237 --> 00:01:52.745
<i>we can make this vision a reality.</i>

00:01:53.240 --> 00:01:58.788
<i>I believe
that the Adventist elementary school</i>

00:01:58.789 --> 00:02:02.417
<i>can help my daughter
to learn the right values</i>

00:02:03.333 --> 00:02:07.337
<i>and also to help
her character development in the future.</i>

00:02:07.921 --> 00:02:10.215
<i>Please pray for Emma and other kids</i>

00:02:10.216 --> 00:02:13.176
<i>who are hoping
for an Adventist elementary school</i>

00:02:13.177 --> 00:02:14.261
<i>in Taiwan.</i>

00:02:14.553 --> 00:02:17.139
Thank you for supporting Mission Offering.

00:02:19.351 --> 00:02:22.311
I want to go to Adventist school!
