Next week we will host our Spring Spiritual Emphasis Week. This event is following the tail end or our purity seminar so pray for our students, families, teachers, and speakers. Beginning this year was interesting, mainly because there was such a strong spirit of unbelief among our students and families. This should not surprise anyone who is familiar with our school though. Unlike most other Christian schools, we do not cater to the regenerate. No, we believe that our door should be open to any who are interested in receiving an education within the walls of our facility. Our Christian focus means that we are determined to live and preach the Gospel to the families and students that attend our school.
I know this is an extremely different approach to the “Christian School Formula”; one in which we have received much grief over from many Christians who believe Christian schools should be for Christians only. As a result, we have seen whole families come to faith in Christ and we rejoice for the ministry, which God has called us too! Recently, we have had students respond in faith to the Gospel. Pray for them and their families and us as we help them and get them involved in the local church.
This is easier said than done. It is true that two 외국 churches have been planted in Uijongbu as a result of our school, but some families will not attend even if their children insist. Ask God to give us wisdom when dealing with this situation. Also, pray for the granite hearts of the unbelievers as we go into next week.
Sola Fide,
Jay Silvas
