<i>A few years ago, the Seventh-day[br]Adventist school in Korat, Thailand,</i>

0:00:07.951,0:00:09.201
<i>faced a challenge.</i>

0:00:09.460,0:00:11.340
<i>With an increasing number of students,</i>

0:00:11.494,0:00:15.408
<i>their small outdated facility[br]was bursting at the seams.</i>

0:00:15.685,0:00:17.609
<i>Classrooms were overcrowded,</i>

0:00:17.609,0:00:20.310
<i>and the need for a new building [br]was undeniable.</i>

0:00:21.130,0:00:25.248
<i>Despite needing an update, [br]the school still had a positive impact.</i>

0:00:25.248,0:00:29.412
I like the whole school, [br]everything, everything we do here.

0:00:29.560,0:00:34.471
This school teaches the Bible, [br]and I like the Bible.

0:00:34.810,0:00:36.986
<i>But in their hearts, [br]the staff and students</i>

0:00:36.986,0:00:39.124
<i>held on to hope for an improved facility.</i>

0:00:39.560,0:00:41.733
<i>It was through the 13th Sabbath Offering</i>

0:00:41.733,0:00:44.902
<i>that the school received [br]the support it desperately needed.</i>

0:00:45.540,0:00:48.106
<i>With the funds, [br]they built a brand-new facility.</i>

0:00:48.106,0:00:50.896
<i>Spacious classrooms, modern equipment,</i>

0:00:50.896,0:00:55.308
<i>and outdoor space now provide a safe[br]and nurturing environment for students.</i>

0:00:56.280,0:00:57.751
<i>It's more than just a building.</i>

0:00:57.751,0:01:00.015
<i>They are growing not only academically,</i>

0:01:00.015,0:01:01.746
<i>but also spiritually.</i>

0:01:01.910,0:01:04.415
I was introduced to the Bible [br]when I came to this school.

0:01:04.415,0:01:09.885
I think that it's an amazing text [br]that people should know about more.

0:01:10.365,0:01:13.393
I think the Bible [br]is really nice to learn about

0:01:13.393,0:01:15.526
because I love all the Bible stories

0:01:15.526,0:01:19.505
and the parables Jesus taught [br]all the disciples and everyone around him.

0:01:19.965,0:01:23.196
<i>Many of the students can't imagine[br]attending any other school.</i>

0:01:23.305,0:01:25.913
I like this school; [br]I will never move away.

0:01:26.480,0:01:28.826
I will never go to another school.

0:01:29.100,0:01:32.847
I think the feeling that[br]everyone here is your family.

0:01:33.540,0:01:39.329
Because I feel like in this school, [br]even the teachers,

0:01:39.740,0:01:41.675
the people working in the office,

0:01:42.175,0:01:45.690
everyone seems like it's your family [br]and you can really,

0:01:46.245,0:01:50.247
talk to them about your worries and stuff,[br]like they are really close with you.

0:01:50.485,0:01:53.076
I do like the community [br]that this place has.

0:01:53.076,0:01:55.017
It's very nice and friendly.

0:01:55.170,0:01:57.837
<i>This school has impacted entire families.</i>

0:01:58.130,0:02:01.156
<i>Parents trust their children[br]with the teachers and staff.</i>

0:02:04.210,0:02:06.711
I chose this school [br]because Penny is my heart.

0:02:07.271,0:02:09.047
I want the best for my heart.

0:02:09.515,0:02:12.160
This school provides education, [br]provides safety,

0:02:12.160,0:02:14.172
and provides a holistic approach.

0:02:15.475,0:02:18.055
<i>Today, the Seventh-day[br]Adventist School in Korat</i>

0:02:18.225,0:02:20.118
<i>is more than just a place of learning.</i>

0:02:20.404,0:02:21.604
<i>It's a community.</i>

0:02:22.075,0:02:24.295
<i>Through love, guidance, and faith,</i>

0:02:24.650,0:02:27.590
<i>this school is reaching hearts [br]both young and old.</i>

0:02:28.210,0:02:31.998
<i>The blessing of the 13th Sabbath[br]Offering didn't just build walls.</i>

0:02:32.246,0:02:34.715
<i>It built bridges of faith and connection,</i>

0:02:34.715,0:02:36.864
<i>bringing students closer to God</i>

0:02:37.047,0:02:39.517
