Building Faith, Brick by Brick

Myanmar

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 day we have a morning devotion and then 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 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 they did. 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.

    Snowy Night’s Prayer

    In Austria, young Amelie lost her headlamp while sledding in the dark, snowy night. After praying for help, she and her family immediately found something even more important—their lost house keys, which would have left them locked out in the freezing cold. Her story shows how God answers prayers in the way we need most, not always the way we expect.

    The Davis’ Indians - Part 2

    After Ovid Elbert Davis died of blackwater fever in 1911 at Mt. Roraima, the Indigenous believers he had taught in British Guiana continued meeting every Sabbath at his grave, singing the hymn he taught them and pleading for another teacher. Fourteen years later, missionaries finally returned, finding more than 130 people still faithful to the commitment Davis recorded before his death. Today, his legacy lives on through the Davis Memorial Hospital in Georgetown and the thriving Adventist communities that grew from his early work.
