Another Amazing Conference

by

This is turning out to be a multiple post day!

I just had another amazing conference. I spoke with a mom who is a Christian, but her husband is not. Her son became a Christian when he was in first grade. She spoke with me about how much this school means to her and her son because her son is not allowed to attend church with her, but that Jesus has allowed him to be in this school. She shared with me about how excited her son is to have Chapel here each week because that is church for him.

She asked that we pray for her family, for her husband’s salvation, for God’s continued grace to allow her son to attend our school, and for her son to continue to love God with all his heart. I can’t wait to pray for them!

Wow!

Today is parent/teacher conference day. I actually love this day because it’s the one time during the year that I get to really have a focused conversation with each of the parents. Today I was reminded, in the best possible way, of the impact we are having on our students.

One of the parents I met with today said that she wanted to thank me for doing something special for her daughter. They have been talking to their daughter about what she wants to do when she grows up. Her answer is that she wants to grow up and be a missionary teacher! Her parents are so excited.

Here’s the amazing part of the story, though. This family is from Vietnam. However, their daughter has never lived there. She was born in Holland, has Australian (yes, the one with kangaroos) citizenship, and lives in Austria. She is fluent in German and English and understands quite a bit of Vietnamese. She often talks about not being sure who she is or where she’s from. But – and this is the amazing part – she feels now like she has found Vietnam in her heart. She wants to be missionary teacher in Vietnam so she can tell the people about Jesus!

Her mom and I were crying and getting so excited. Please join us in praying for her that the Lord will continue to grow in her a love for Jesus and desire to share him with the world.

Our high school video class has been doing a tremendous job this year. If you have some time to spare, you can check out their videos here:
VCS Videography
Scroll down a little and click on the link that says, “See all videos.”
My favorites are Mountain Dew VCS, 2V Emotion, and Dodgeball – Teachers vs. Students. Although, the appearance of the high school track uniforms in the Dodgeball video is a little disconcerting.
There are some ongoing jokes that run throughout the videos. If you watch them all in order (Mountain Dew VCS is first) you’ll see a pattern or two. Enjoy!

Jesus is Our Substitute

by

For the past few weeks we’ve been learning about the attributes of Jesus: He is divine, He is human, He is our substitute. This week as we discussed what it means for Jesus to be our substitute we talked about why He had to be divine and human in order to take our place. I asked the students who know Jesus to tell me about when they accepted Christ, and those who don’t to tell me about questions or doubts they have. Here are some highlights from what they said.

When I was small I got baptised with floaties on. After that hapened I was so proud of my self! We got to go to KFC to celebrate Jesus.

——————————————–

When I prayed for Jesus to enter my heart I never dreamt bad dreams any more starting from September up till today.

——————————————–

I accepted Jesus in my heart when Jerry Jecoby was haear when I did it I felt so so so happy.

——————————————–

I think jesus is my savior and my superhero because his better than superman spiderman….., Before my aunt tell that jesus is with me because I was scared that time when I’m sleeping so I pray to jesus after I pray I dream jesus is with me.

——————————————–

I have asked Jesus into my heart and I believe that he is going to be with me forever. Jesus is only one that can help us. He never sin because he is the perfect man. I asked Jesus into my heart when I was in third grade.

While explaining what she wants to be when she grows up, one student said:

I know it’s hard to leave my inner child, but if I’m a supermodel, it’s OK.
