May 10 - The Only School for Me

The Adventist school in Korat, Thailand, was overcrowded, yet students loved their school, especially the Bible lessons. They longed for more space to learn and grow. When help arrived, it brought more than just a new building.

A few years ago,

the Seventh-day Adventist school
in Korat, Thailand,

faced a challenge.

With an increasing number of students,

their small, outdated facility
was bursting at the seams.

Classrooms were overcrowded,

and the need for a new building
was undeniable.

Despite needing an update,
the school still had a positive impact.

I like the whole school,
everything, everything we do here.

This school teaches the Bible,
and I like the Bible.

But in their hearts,
the staff and students

held on to hope for an improved facility.

It was through the 13th Sabbath Offering

that the school received
the support it desperately needed.

With the funds,
they built a brand-new facility.

Spacious classrooms,

modern equipment,

and outdoor space

now provide a safe
and nurturing environment for students.

It's more than just a building.

They are growing,

not only academically
but also spiritually.

I was introduced to the Bible
when I came to this school.

I think that it's an amazing text
that people should know about more.

I think the Bible
is really nice to learn about

because I love all the Bible stories

and the parables Jesus taught
all the disciples and everyone around him.

Many of the students
can't imagine attending any other school.

I like this school;
I will never move away.

I will never go to another school.

I think the feeling
that everyone here is your family.

Because I feel like in this school,

even the teachers,

the people working in the office,

everyone seems like it's your family,

and you can really talk to them

about your worries and stuff,

like they are really close with you.

I do like the community
that this place has.

It's very nice and friendly.

This school has impacted entire families.

Parents trust their children
with the teachers and staff.

I chose this school
because Penny is my heart.

I want the best for my heart.

This school provides education,
provides safety,

and provides a wholistic approach.

Today, the Seventh-day
Adventist School in Korat

is more than just a place of learning.

It's a community.

Through love, guidance, and faith,

this school is reaching hearts
both young and old.

The blessing of the 13th Sabbath Offering

didn't just build walls.

It built bridges of faith and connection,

bringing students closer to God

and creating opportunities for the future.

Thank you so much, everyone,
for your contribution to our school.

It makes the difference when we share.

To those who gave
to the 13th Sabbath Offering,

we want you to know

your generosity has made
an eternal impact.

You haven't only helped build a school,

you have transformed lives,

opened doors of opportunity,

and planted seeds of faith
that will grow for generations.

Because of you,
students in Korat are thriving,

and families are being touched
by God's love.

From the bottom of our hearts,

thank you for being part of this mission.
