March 29 - New School on Campus

  • 0:05 - 0:07
    Whether she's tending
    to the flowers in the garden
  • 0:07 - 0:11
    or exploring new hiding spots
    in her backyard,
  • 0:11 - 0:15
    Emma finds delight
    in the simple pleasures of childhood.
  • 0:16 - 0:19
    Emma lives
    on the Taiwan Adventist College campus.
  • 0:19 - 0:22
    As Emma approaches her 5th birthday,
  • 0:22 - 0:27
    her parents' hearts are filled
    with a mixture of joy and uncertainty.
  • 0:28 - 0:32
    The lack of an Adventist elementary school
    in Taiwan poses a challenge for them.
  • 0:33 - 0:36
    As you can see that we actually only have
    an academy here,
  • 0:36 - 0:37
    like middle school,
  • 0:38 - 0:41
    high school, and college
    here on this campus,
  • 0:41 - 0:45
    and then we don't really have
    Adventist elementary school here.
  • 0:45 - 0:48
    The current situation requires
    Adventist parents
  • 0:48 - 0:50
    to send their kids to other schools.
  • 0:50 - 0:56
    We cannot find any schools
    that teach Adventist belief and education,
  • 0:56 - 0:59
    the holistic education
    we always value at the church,
  • 1:00 - 1:06
    so I think this is appealing
    to all Adventist parents in Taiwan.
  • 1:06 - 1:09
    We are really eager to have
    Adventist elementary school
  • 1:09 - 1:12
    that can be established in Taiwan.
  • 1:12 - 1:16
    The new elementary school project aims
    to lead young people to Christ.
  • 1:20 - 1:22
    Education should start early.
  • 1:23 - 1:25
    The Bible advises us to teach children
  • 1:25 - 1:28
    so that they do not stray
    from their paths as they grow.
  • 1:28 - 1:32
    In this rapidly changing era
    with many external influences,
  • 1:32 - 1:35
    we aim to nurture children
    from primary school,
  • 1:35 - 1:39
    teaching them a reverence for God
    and follow Him from a young age.
  • 1:40 - 1:41
    This way, as they grow up,
  • 1:41 - 1:44
    they will remember
    these important lessons.
  • 1:47 - 1:50
    Through your generous
    13th Sabbath Offering this quarter,
  • 1:50 - 1:53
    we can make this vision a reality.
  • 1:53 - 1:59
    I believe
    that the Adventist elementary school
  • 1:59 - 2:02
    can help my daughter
    to learn the right values
  • 2:03 - 2:07
    and also to help
    her character development in the future.
  • 2:08 - 2:10
    Please pray for Emma and other kids
  • 2:10 - 2:13
    who are hoping
    for an Adventist elementary school
  • 2:13 - 2:14
    in Taiwan.
  • 2:15 - 2:17
    Thank you for supporting Mission Offering.
  • 2:19 - 2:22
    I want to go to Adventist school!
