PCA STUDENTS ON MISSION

More than 300 of our Prestonwood Christian Academy students have been ministering this week from Bonton in South Dallas to Abilene to the Amazon to Africa. They’ve actually been in six countries on three continents. Over the past few days, I’ve loved hearing about how this has really ministered to them. Our church has a heart for missions and Dr. Larry Taylor, the Head of School, has done a wonderful job of integrating that DNA at PCA.

I was able to meet earlier this week with the PCA Baseball Team. Coach Mike Maack and the boys had just ministered for three days in the Bonton community. It was great to hear their hearts and to see how God had done a work in them through this ministry opportunity in the inner city.

Our students participated in prayer walks and fed the homeless in Bonton, made quilts for a women's shelter, witnessed the dedication of a water well provided by our church in the Amazon and helped dispense eyeglasses to people in villages, shared Christ’s love with orphans in various locations, helped in schools and so much more. It’s been a minimester they’ll never forget.

Cali Kinder, one of our students on mission in Uganda, wrote these powerful words:

My translator, Charles, and I were talking to three different women and one of them was already born again and the other two decided to make professions of faith. Praise God! The born again woman decided to take us to the public school where she teaches and the headmaster allowed us to share with about 80 fourth through seventh grade students the Hope and EvangeCube. After sharing, every kid raised their hand to accept Christ. While we do not know for sure who truly meant it, we have planted a seed in their hearts to seek the one true God... God is doing amazing things here and we are making a difference for Christ in these villages that have never had a group like us.

That day in Uganda, our students and staff and adult chaperones presented the Gospel to more than 230 people and 67 accepted Christ.

To God be the glory!
