00:00:09.713 --> 00:00:14.637
<i>Schools play a crucial role in providing 
essential knowledge to children,</i>

00:00:14.638 --> 00:00:16.786
<i>complementing family education.</i>

00:00:17.049 --> 00:00:21.584
<i>Parents seek the best schools 
that offer not only quality education</i>

00:00:21.813 --> 00:00:24.553
<i>but also character development 
for their children.</i>

00:00:25.150 --> 00:00:29.426
<i>Located on the Myanmar Union
Adventist Seminary campus,</i>

00:00:29.754 --> 00:00:32.976
<i>New Earth Preschool
serves the local community.</i>

00:00:33.505 --> 00:00:36.640
<i>Despite having to relocate
several times on campus</i>

00:00:36.641 --> 00:00:38.908
<i>due to a lack of permanent facilities,</i>

00:00:39.098 --> 00:00:43.080
<i>it currently occupies a few rooms 
of the new girls' dormitory.</i>

00:00:43.836 --> 00:00:46.643
<i>Both Adventist and non-Adventist parents</i>

00:00:46.644 --> 00:00:49.091
<i>continue to choose this preschool</i>

00:00:49.420 --> 00:00:51.420
<i>over other schools in the area.</i>

00:00:52.037 --> 00:00:54.411
<i>The love parents have for this school</i>

00:00:54.412 --> 00:00:58.849
<i>is deeply rooted in the values 
shared in the classroom.</i>

00:00:59.363 --> 00:01:01.476
Before we start, we have a prayer.

00:01:02.007 --> 00:01:04.873
And then, every morning, 
we have a morning devotion,

00:01:05.156 --> 00:01:07.943
and then we allow them
to sing religious songs,

00:01:08.340 --> 00:01:11.875
and we let them memorize the memory verse.

00:01:13.355 --> 00:01:16.334
We close our eyes and fold our hands,

00:01:16.334 --> 00:01:17.818
and talk to God.

00:01:18.955 --> 00:01:21.644
<i>While providing an excellent education,</i>

00:01:22.014 --> 00:01:26.636
<i>the safety of the students
is a top priority at New Earth Preschool,</i>

00:01:26.852 --> 00:01:29.558
<i>and they are continually 
trying to improve it.</i>

00:01:29.814 --> 00:01:34.022
When we go out, and we compare 
with other schools,

00:01:34.820 --> 00:01:39.321
our facilities are in very poor condition.

00:01:39.785 --> 00:01:42.785
<i>After years of prayers and acts of faith,</i>

00:01:43.268 --> 00:01:47.161
<i>New Earth Preschool 
will finally have its own building.</i>

00:01:47.543 --> 00:01:51.796
We see this school as a means 
for evangelism.

00:01:51.796 --> 00:01:55.858
We can grow gospel seeds for the children

00:01:55.859 --> 00:01:59.747
as well as we can share 
the Adventist message to the parents.

00:02:02.794 --> 00:02:05.154
We treat the students
with tender loving care

00:02:05.155 --> 00:02:06.449
so that they feel safe

00:02:06.660 --> 00:02:08.485
and also gain the parents' trust

00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:10.981
so that we may share
about the gospel with them.

00:02:12.503 --> 00:02:16.779
<i>With well-established trust 
and good relationships with parents,</i>

00:02:17.055 --> 00:02:19.208
<i>they use every occasion</i>

00:02:19.209 --> 00:02:22.323
<i>as an opportunity to share God's message.</i>

00:02:22.881 --> 00:02:26.242
Whatever the children learn 
from this school,

00:02:26.578 --> 00:02:28.451
when they go back home,

00:02:28.606 --> 00:02:31.494
they share with their parents 
what they learned,

00:02:31.495 --> 00:02:33.569
what songs they sang,

00:02:34.035 --> 00:02:35.785
what activities that they do.

00:02:36.084 --> 00:02:42.091
That also shares the love of Jesus 
to the family.

00:02:42.366 --> 00:02:43.366
<i>This quarter,</i>

00:02:43.367 --> 00:02:46.296
<i>a portion of the 13th Sabbath Offering</i>

00:02:46.297 --> 00:02:50.680
<i>will help construct the school building
for New Earth Preschool in Myanmar.</i>

00:02:51.496 --> 00:02:53.297
<i>Please pray for this project</i>

00:02:53.298 --> 00:02:56.585
<i>so it can function
as a center of influence</i>

00:02:56.585 --> 00:02:57.785
<i>for God's love,</i>

00:02:58.063 --> 00:02:59.697
<i>not only for the students</i>

00:02:59.918 --> 00:03:01.804
<i>but also for the parents.</i>

00:03:02.561 --> 00:03:07.384
<i>Thank you for your support
of the 13th Sabbath Offering.</i>
