1
00:00:09,713 --> 00:00:14,637
Schools play a crucial role in providing
essential knowledge to children,
2
00:00:14,638 --> 00:00:16,786
complementing family education.
3
00:00:17,049 --> 00:00:21,584
Parents seek the best schools
that offer not only quality education
4
00:00:21,813 --> 00:00:24,553
but also character development
for their children.
5
00:00:25,150 --> 00:00:29,426
Located on the Myanmar Union
Adventist Seminary campus,
6
00:00:29,754 --> 00:00:32,976
New Earth Preschool
serves the local community.
7
00:00:33,505 --> 00:00:36,640
Despite having to relocate
several times on campus
8
00:00:36,641 --> 00:00:38,908
due to a lack of permanent facilities,
9
00:00:39,098 --> 00:00:43,080
it currently occupies a few rooms
of the new girls' dormitory.
10
00:00:43,836 --> 00:00:46,643
Both Adventist and non-Adventist parents
11
00:00:46,644 --> 00:00:49,091
continue to choose this preschool
12
00:00:49,420 --> 00:00:51,420
over other schools in the area.
13
00:00:52,037 --> 00:00:54,411
The love parents have for this school
14
00:00:54,412 --> 00:00:58,849
is deeply rooted in the values
shared in the classroom.
15
00:00:59,363 --> 00:01:01,476
Before we start, we have a prayer.
16
00:01:02,007 --> 00:01:04,873
And then, every morning,
we have a morning devotion,
17
00:01:05,156 --> 00:01:07,943
and then we allow them
to sing religious songs,
18
00:01:08,340 --> 00:01:11,875
and we let them memorize the memory verse.
19
00:01:13,355 --> 00:01:16,334
We close our eyes and fold our hands,
20
00:01:16,334 --> 00:01:17,818
and talk to God.
21
00:01:18,955 --> 00:01:21,644
While providing an excellent education,
22
00:01:22,014 --> 00:01:26,636
the safety of the students
is a top priority at New Earth Preschool,
23
00:01:26,852 --> 00:01:29,558
and they are continually
trying to improve it.
24
00:01:29,814 --> 00:01:34,022
When we go out, and we compare
with other schools,
25
00:01:34,820 --> 00:01:39,321
our facilities are in very poor condition.
26
00:01:39,785 --> 00:01:42,785
After years of prayers and acts of faith,
27
00:01:43,268 --> 00:01:47,161
New Earth Preschool
will finally have its own building.
28
00:01:47,543 --> 00:01:51,796
We see this school as a means
for evangelism.
29
00:01:51,796 --> 00:01:55,858
We can grow gospel seeds for the children
30
00:01:55,859 --> 00:01:59,747
as well as we can share
the Adventist message to the parents.
31
00:02:02,794 --> 00:02:05,154
We treat the students
with tender loving care
32
00:02:05,155 --> 00:02:06,449
so that they feel safe
33
00:02:06,660 --> 00:02:08,485
and also gain the parents' trust
34
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,981
so that we may share
about the gospel with them.
35
00:02:12,503 --> 00:02:16,779
With well-established trust
and good relationships with parents,
36
00:02:17,055 --> 00:02:19,208
they use every occasion
37
00:02:19,209 --> 00:02:22,323
as an opportunity to share God's message.
38
00:02:22,881 --> 00:02:26,242
Whatever the children learn
from this school,
39
00:02:26,578 --> 00:02:28,451
when they go back home,
40
00:02:28,606 --> 00:02:31,494
they share with their parents
what they learned,
41
00:02:31,495 --> 00:02:33,569
what songs they sang,
42
00:02:34,035 --> 00:02:35,785
what activities that they do.
43
00:02:36,084 --> 00:02:42,091
That also shares the love of Jesus
to the family.
44
00:02:42,366 --> 00:02:43,366
This quarter,
45
00:02:43,367 --> 00:02:46,296
a portion of the 13th Sabbath Offering
46
00:02:46,297 --> 00:02:50,680
will help construct the school building
for New Earth Preschool in Myanmar.
47
00:02:51,496 --> 00:02:53,297
Please pray for this project
48
00:02:53,298 --> 00:02:56,585
so it can function
as a center of influence
49
00:02:56,585 --> 00:02:57,785
for God's love,
50
00:02:58,063 --> 00:02:59,697
not only for the students
51
00:02:59,918 --> 00:03:01,804
but also for the parents.
52
00:03:02,561 --> 00:03:07,384
Thank you for your support
of the 13th Sabbath Offering.
