#Schools That Pray: PCA Students Gather to Pray Together

main image

We thank God for the privilege to lift up our voices to Him, knowing that He hears us. It was a day of reverence at PCA as each and every student from kindergarten through 12th grade entered the Sanctuary for a time of prayer. We joined Christian school leaders, teachers, parents and students across the globe asking God to pour out His spirit and fill our schools, communities and nations with joy, peace and hope - full to overflowing. As PCA's lower and upper school students gathered in small groups throughout the day, we... 

Prayed for guidance and growth within each of our own families. 

Prayed for the advancement of God's kingdom through Christian education. 

Prayed for missionaries around the world proclaiming the Gospel. 

Upper School Principal, Sean Keiper, says "It is a privilege for us to participate in the National Day of Prayer together as a school. This opportunity allows us to live out our mission as we desire to seek the Lord and His plan in all things. We are passionate about joining together in prayer for God's will to be done in our lives, our school, our community, and the world."

We encourage you to ask your children about the National Day of Prayer. Let's continue to humble ourselves together as a community united -  to praise and petition the Creator of the Universe to move mountains. (Matthew 17:20)

Spanish Club is Learning How to Help Those in Need

Spanish Club Advisor Señora Pabst says that PCA's Spanish Club is very intentional both in its work at PCA and outside of the school. The club recently had a speaker from Lamb Institute in Charleston. The Lamb Institute is a Christ-centered, multi-faceted ministry based in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, which shares the hope of Jesus Christ as it works to meet the needs of those who suffer from extreme poverty, abuse, and exploitation. Members of the Spanish Club raised over $400 to support Lamb's Children's Home in San Buenaventura, Honduras by making and selling empanadas.

The club members heard about the incredible work done in the country of Panama by Heart's Cry Children's Ministry.  Heart's Cry shares the love of Jesus as it works to meet the incredible needs of the country's orphans. 

Lastly, the club had four meetings with multiple speakers from Water Mission, a Charleston-based Christian organization that works to provide clean water and the gospel of Jesus Christ to those in need around the world. One of the goals of Water Mission is to create ambassadors with this generation so they can teach and create awareness of the need for clean water.

Señora Pabst hopes to gather a large group of PCA students to participate in the Water Mission's Walk for Water in March.
