Ministry Highlight
by Annette Reich
The summer break from school appears to be getting shorter each year. Here we are, already in August, and looking forward to a new school year that will begin on Monday, August 11. In preparation for the start of school, our ministry staff and children will gather in our Education & Activity Center on Sunday afternoon, August 10, to pray for our teachers and students. Our teacher and school staff are responsible for much more than reading, writing, and arithmetic. At the Four Corners Academy for Excellence, students learn academics, as well as spiritual principles, through morning devotions and other spiritual instruction. It is a blessing to be in a school setting where Biblical instruction is permissible and encouraged.
Our students learn Bible stories, memorize verses, and work through difficult life situations by turning to God’s Word. We are blessed to have Miss Hope and Mrs. Jim, devoted Christians, in our classroom each day, leading our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
Wherever you may be on August 10, please join us in praying for our students that this year will be significant in their lives, both academically and spiritually. Pray that God will equip our teaching staff daily to meet the challenges that arise. “Teach me Your way, O Lord, that I may walk in Your truth” –Ps 86:11
Prayer Focus
Pray for our children as they enter a new school year.
Pray for our teachers and volunteers as they make each child feel welcomed and provide a positive learning atmosphere.
