The Only School for Me

Korat, Thailand

The Adventist school in Korat, Thailand, was overcrowded, yet students loved their school, especially the Bible lessons. They longed for more space to learn and grow. When help arrived, it brought more than just a new building.

A few years ago, the Seventh-day Adventist school in Korat, Thailand, faced a challenge. With an increasing number of students, their small, outdated facility was bursting at the seams. Classrooms were overcrowded, and the need for a new building was undeniable.

Despite needing an update, the school still had a positive impact.

“I like the whole school, everything, everything we do here.”

“This school teaches the Bible, and I like the Bible.”

But in their hearts, the staff and students held onto hope for an improved facility. It was through the 13th Sabbath Offering that the school received the support it desperately needed.

With the funds, they built a brand-new facility. Spacious classrooms, modern equipment, and outdoor space now provide a safe and nurturing environment for students.

It’s more than just a building. They are growing not only academically but also spiritually.

“I was introduced to the Bible when I came to this school. I think it’s an amazing text that people should know about more.”

“I think the Bible is really nice to learn about because I love all the Bible stories and the parables Jesus taught the disciples and everyone around him.”

Many of the students can’t imagine attending any other school.

“I like this school; I will never move away. I will never go to another school.”

“I think the feeling that everyone here is your family. Because I feel like in this school, even the teachers, the people working in the office, everyone seems like it's your family. You can talk to them about your worries and stuff. Like they are really close with you.”

“I do like the community that this place has. It's really nice and friendly.”

This school has impacted entire families. Parents trust their children with the teachers and staff.

“I choose this school because she is my heart. I want the best for my heart. This school provides education, provides safety, and provides a wholistic approach.”

Today, the Seventh-day Adventist school in Korat is more than just a place of learning. It’s a community. Through love, guidance, and faith, this school is reaching hearts—both young and old.

The blessing of the 13th Sabbath Offering didn’t just build walls. It built bridges of faith and connection, bringing students closer to God and creating opportunities for the future.

“Thank you so much, everyone, for your contribution to our school. It makes the difference when we share.”

To those who gave to the 13th Sabbath Offering, we want you to know: your generosity has made an eternal impact. You haven’t only helped build a school—you have transformed lives, opened doors of opportunity, and planted seeds of faith that will grow for generations. Because of you, students in Korat are thriving and families are being touched by God’s love.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of this mission.
