April 12 - Building Faith, Brick by Brick

New Earth Preschool in Myanmar has long served the community despite lacking a permanent home. With support from the 13th Sabbath Offering, they will finally have their own building. This will provide a safe space for children to learn and share God’s love with their families.

Schools play a crucial role in providing
essential knowledge to children,

complementing family education.

Parents seek the best schools
that offer not only quality education

but also character development
for their children.

Located on the Myanmar Union
Adventist Seminary campus,

New Earth Preschool
serves the local community.

Despite having to relocate
several times on campus

due to a lack of permanent facilities,

it currently occupies a few rooms
of the new girls' dormitory.

Both Adventist and non-Adventist parents

continue to choose this preschool

over other schools in the area.

The love parents have for this school

is deeply rooted in the values
shared in the classroom.

Before we start, we have a prayer.

And then, every morning,
we have a morning devotion,

and then we allow them
to sing religious songs,

and we let them memorize the memory verse.

We close our eyes and fold our hands,

and talk to God.

While providing an excellent education,

the safety of the students
is a top priority at New Earth Preschool,

and they are continually
trying to improve it.

When we go out, and we compare
with other schools,

our facilities are in very poor condition.

After years of prayers and acts of faith,

New Earth Preschool
will finally have its own building.

We see this school as a means
for evangelism.

We can grow gospel seeds for the children

as well as we can share
the Adventist message to the parents.

We treat the students
with tender, loving care

so that they feel safe

and also gain the parents' trust

so that we may share
about the gospel with them.

With well-established trust
and good relationships with parents,

they use every occasion

as an opportunity to share God's message.

Whatever the children learn
from this school,

when they go back home,

they share with their parents
what they learned,

what songs they sang,

what activities that they do.

That also shares the love of Jesus
to the family.

This quarter,

a portion of the 13th Sabbath Offering

will help construct the school building
for New Earth Preschool in Myanmar.

Please pray for this project

so it can function
as a center of influence

for God's love,

not only for the students

but also for the parents.

Thank you for your support
of the 13th Sabbath Offering.
