EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE COMMITTEE
 
(EDACT)
 
 
 
 
 
The Educational Assistance Committee (EDACT) is assisting two of our
 
own, who are currently at Bethel Bible College in the Philippines for 
 
Bible School. The committee is raising funds in anyway possible, in
 
order to provide financial assistance for our students. We are greatful
 
if you would like to contribute a "Donation" of any amount to support
 
our students for a "Good Cause". We are planning to send more
 
students to schools (Colleges and Universities) of their choice with
 
the help of our Church depending on our financial abilities. With
 
your help, it will make a big difference for our young men and women,
 
who are striving for a Bright Future and Serving the Lord.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
These are the students that are currently in the Philippines attending School.

Leeroy James Leatigaga and Natasha Pemasa are currently studying at Bethel Bible

 College in Malinta, Valenzuela City, Philippines. Leeroy taking up Pastoral Major

while Natasha is taking up Missions and Christian Education looking not only to

expand and broaden their knowledge of God but to use the gained knowledge to

make a difference. By using talents, gifts, knowledge and our personal testimony

to reach the very hearts of those coming in contact every single day.

 

There are many opportunities of ministering the gospel. Some which include Worship

Outbreak, Ground Zero, 67th Ave Part One and 67th Ave Dos; in where we

 are required among our classmates to designate each person’s part. We are the

teachers, we are the leaders, we are the registration team, we are the ushers, we

do the planning and promoting of the events all under the guidance of our Lord

Jesus Christ. Many other forms of ministering the gospel include Campus Ministry,

Feeding Program (occurs every Saturday morning, even during summer), Mission

Trips, Kids Camp, Giving of Tracks and local Ministries. Many times we are also

invited to help put together Crusades and Concerts. Another major tool would

be  Drama Choir 67th Ave Creative Arts, where a team of students put together 

their gifts and talents to represent Jesus Christ and minister through human videos, 

dance, skits and personal testimonies.

 

Besides the Tuesday-Friday classes attended there are late night and weekend

studying. There are also tools which are meant to sharpen what we learn such as

Bethel Assembly, Campus Clean-ups and Friday night prayer meetings. Not only

are we able to apply what is being taught, while doing so lives are being touched

and healed. The fellowship truly is priceless.

This is just a glimpse of what God has been doing throughout our schooling. There

were many opportunities and open doors that God has gotten us through but

believe it’s not over. This is just the beginning of the journey yet to come. 

 

 

Everyone has their own opinions of what it means to be mature. It's not just a product of aging, but rather a mindset that is found in different people—some old and some young.

Maturity...

… is the ability to control anger and settle differences without violence or destruction.

… is the patience, the willingness to pass up immediate pleasure in favor of the long term gain.

… is unselfishness—responding to the needs of others, often at the expense of one's own desires or wishes.

… is the capacity to fare unpleasantness and frustration, discomfort and defeat, without complaint and collapse.

… is humility. It is being big enough to say, "I was wrong", and when right, the mature person need not say, "I told you so".

… is the ability to make a decision and stand by it. The immature spend their lives exploring endless possibilities then do nothing.

… means dependability, keeping one's word, coming through in a crisis.

… is the art of living in peace with that which we cannot change.
