One of the world’s most densely populated islands is home to a Seventh-day Adventist school. More than 15,000 people live on Ebeye, and more than half of the population is under the age of 18.

We visited this small island in 2018, when a portion of the 13th Sabbath Offering went to help repair the Adventist school. They were having problems with termites and rapid deterioration from the highly concentrated salty air.

The Ebeye Seventh-day Adventist School educates more than 300 students from pre-kindergarten to grade 12. Students learn a variety of subjects, including the Bible. The school even holds church services in their chapel.

Thanks to your contributions to the 2018 offering, renovation to the floors and walls of the first and second floors is complete! Now, staff and students can use the library and offices, attend class, and go to chapel without worrying about a deteriorating building. And they are so grateful for your gifts that made this happen.

Schools, like the Ebeye Adventist School, are part of the Guam-Micronesia Mission in the North American Division. They rely heavily on Adventist volunteers to fill the many teaching positions throughout the territory. Each year, dozens of student missionaries answer the call to serve throughout the region in places like the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, Palau, and the Mariana Islands.

This territory has Adventist work on 26 of the 92 inhabited islands, making schools like the one on Ebeye a valuable space for the islanders. During the pandemic especially, there has been a need for more Adventist volunteers.

If you feel impressed to serve, visit VividFaith.org to browse open calls from around the world.

Please pray for the Guam-Micronesia Mission and the teachers in schools throughout this territory.

Thank you for supporting mission through the mission offering and perhaps even by answering God’s call to serve.
