00:00:03,970 --> 00:00:07,581
A few years ago, the Seventh day
Adventist school in Korat, Thailand,
2
00:00:07,951 --> 00:00:09,201
faced a challenge.
3
00:00:09,460 --> 00:00:11,340
With an increasing number of students,
4
00:00:11,494 --> 00:00:15,408
their small outdated facility
was bursting at the seams.
5
00:00:15,685 --> 00:00:17,609
Classrooms were overcrowded,
6
00:00:17,609 --> 00:00:20,310
and the need for a new building
was undeniable.
7
00:00:21,130 --> 00:00:25,248
Despite needing an update,
the school still had a positive impact.
8
00:00:25,248 --> 00:00:29,412
I like the whole school,
everything, everything we do here.
9
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:34,471
This school teaches the Bible,
and I like the Bible.
10
00:00:34,810 --> 00:00:36,986
But in their hearts,
the staff and students
11
00:00:36,986 --> 00:00:39,124
held on to hope for an improved facility.
12
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,733
It was through the 13th Sabbath Offering
13
00:00:41,733 --> 00:00:44,902
that the school received
the support it desperately needed.
14
00:00:45,540 --> 00:00:48,106
With the funds,
they built a brand-new facility.
15
00:00:48,106 --> 00:00:50,896
Spacious classrooms, modern equipment,
16
00:00:50,896 --> 00:00:55,308
and outdoor space now provide a safe
and nurturing environment for students.
17
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:57,751
It's more than just a building.
18
00:00:57,751 --> 00:01:00,015
They are growing not only academically,
19
00:01:00,015 --> 00:01:01,746
but also spiritually.
20
00:01:01,910 --> 00:01:04,415
I was introduced to the Bible
when I came to this school.
21
00:01:04,415 --> 00:01:09,885
I think that it's an amazing text
that people should know about more.
22
00:01:10,365 --> 00:01:13,393
I think the Bible
is really nice to learn about
23
00:01:13,393 --> 00:01:15,526
because I love all the Bible stories
24
00:01:15,526 --> 00:01:19,505
and the parables Jesus taught
all the disciples and everyone around him.
25
00:01:19,965 --> 00:01:23,196
Many of the students can't imagine
attending any other school.
26
00:01:23,305 --> 00:01:25,913
I like this school;
I will never move away.
27
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,826
I will never go to another school.
28
00:01:29,100 --> 00:01:32,847
I think the feeling that
everyone here is your family.
29
00:01:33,540 --> 00:01:39,329
Because I feel like in this school,
even the teachers,
30
00:01:39,740 --> 00:01:41,675
the people working in the office,
31
00:01:42,175 --> 00:01:45,690
everyone seems like it's your family
and you can really,
32
00:01:46,245 --> 00:01:50,247
talk to them about your worries and stuff,
like they are really close with you.
33
00:01:50,485 --> 00:01:53,076
I do like the community
that this place has.
34
00:01:53,076 --> 00:01:55,017
It's very nice and friendly.
35
00:01:55,170 --> 00:01:57,837
This school has impacted entire families.
36
00:01:58,130 --> 00:02:01,156
Parents trust their children
with the teachers and staff.
37
00:02:04,210 --> 00:02:06,711
I chose this school
because Penny is my heart.
38
00:02:07,271 --> 00:02:09,047
I want the best for my heart.
39
00:02:09,515 --> 00:02:12,160
This school provides education,
provides safety,
40
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,172
and provides a holistic approach.
41
00:02:15,475 --> 00:02:18,055
Today, the Seventh-day
Adventist School in Korat
42
00:02:18,225 --> 00:02:20,118
is more than just a place of learning.
43
00:02:20,404 --> 00:02:21,604
It's a community.
44
00:02:22,075 --> 00:02:24,295
Through love, guidance, and faith,
45
00:02:24,650 --> 00:02:27,590
this school is reaching hearts
both young and old.
46
00:02:28,210 --> 00:02:31,998
The blessing of the 13th Sabbath
Offering didn't just build walls.
47
00:02:32,260 --> 00:02:34,715
It built bridges of faith and connection,
48
00:02:34,930 --> 00:02:39,435
bringing students closer to God and
creating opportunities for the future.
49
00:02:39,815 --> 00:02:45,515
Thank you so much everyone for
your contribution for our school.
50
00:02:46,055 --> 00:02:49,115
It's make the difference when we share.
51
00:02:49,630 --> 00:02:53,570
To those who gave to the thirteenth
Sabbath offering, we want you to know
52
00:02:53,790 --> 00:02:56,610
your generosity has
made an eternal impact.
53
00:02:57,310 --> 00:03:01,170
You haven't only helped build a
school, you have transformed lives,
54
00:03:01,550 --> 00:03:02,850
opened doors of opportunity,
55
00:03:03,385 --> 00:03:06,525
and planted seeds of faith
that will grow for generations.
56
00:03:07,385 --> 00:03:10,445
Because of you, students
in Courant are thriving,
57
00:03:10,825 --> 00:03:13,645
and families are being
touched by God's love.
58
00:03:13,865 --> 00:03:18,010
From the bottom of our hearts, Thank
you for being part of this mission.
