Prayer is not a device for getting our will done through Heaven, but a desire that God's will be done on earth through us. Our ability to stay with God in the prayer closet is the measure of our ability to stay with God while we are outside of it. We pray because others need prayer. It is not hard to pray, because prayer has meaning. If prayer ever does get hard for you, begin to give thanks and you will have an ocean of praise and thanksgiving from which to draw. Let prayer be the key to your morning and the bolt to your evening. "Give us .. our daily bread." Bread to sustain the physical health is a daily need. Other necessities may be supplied once and for all, but food to sustain the body must be supplied every day. "Forgive us our debts, as we for- give our debtors." One of the great- est hindrances to prayer is an unfor- giving spirit. Nursing grudges against others closes the ear of God to our petitions. You may object that there is no excuse for their sin. Remember sin can never be excused. It can only be forgiven. The spirit of forgiveness is noble and kingly. The story has been told that when Belgium was being in- vaded by hostile armies during the world war, laying portions of it in ruins, a group of children gathered be- fore a roadside shrine that had es- caped the terrible bombardment and were repeating the Lord's Prayer. They had just reached the plea for pardon when a shell struck nearby, reminding them of their bitter ene- mies. They hesitated to finish the sentence.

When the soul feels the need, hands may be uplifted to God in praise or humble petition.

  • Mindanao Mission Academy
    Image not found or type unknown Mindanao Mission Academy MARIBEL L. HONOR, JESREEL MERCADER, AND MARCHIE MERCADER Maribel L. Honor Jesreel Mercader Marchie Mercader Mindanao Mission Academy (MMA) is a private secondary institution operated by the North-Central Mindanao Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. Established on July 14, 1947, it is the oldest Adventist high school in the Southern Philippines, and the fifth-oldest in the entire Philippines.1 Since its founding, Mindanao Mission Academy has faithfully served the needs of Adventist education among the constituents of Northern Mindanao, especially the provinces of Misamis Oriental, Bukidnon, and Lanao Del Norte. It offers a program of study geared towards the development of the physical, mental, social, and spiritual dimensions of life in fulfillment of its philosophy, mission, and vision. It also offers a complete secondary education with specialized tracks in the senior high school curriculum, namely: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS), and Accountancy, Business, and Management (ABM).2 Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the school has registered an enrolment of 876 students in 2020, the highest enrolment in history.3 Developments that Led to the Establishment of the School On July 1, 1946, the Mindanao Mission opened an elementary school called the Mindanao Central School at Cagayan de Oro. Because of this large enrolment, mission officials voted on May 25, 1947, to establish an academy in the Mindanao Mission and the present 20-hectare lot along the national highway of Poblacion Manticao, Misamis Oriental, Philippines, was purchased.4 The site was acquired through the untiring efforts of the administrative committee of the then-Mindanao Mission (which later became South Philippine Union Conference) under the leadership of the late Pastor Apolonio Somoso, the president of Mindanao Mission and also chairman of the Academy board.

  • Chronology of Seventh-Day Adventist Education: 1872-1972
    CII818L8tl or SIYIITI·Ill IIYIITIST IIUCITIGI CENTURY OF ADVENTIST EDUCATION 1872 - 1972 ·,; Compiled by Walton J. Brown, Ph.D. Department of Education, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists ·t. 6840 Eastern Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20012 i/ .I Foreword In anticipation of the education centennial in 1972 and the publication of a Seventh-day Adventist chronology of education, the General Conference Department of Education started to make inquiries of the world field for historical facts and statistics regarding the various facets of the church program in education. The information started to come in about a year ago. Whlle some of the responses were quite detalled, there were others that were rather general and indefinite. There were gaps and omissions and in several instances conflicting statements on certain events. In view of the limited time and the apparent cessation of incoming materials from the field, a small committee was named with Doctor Walton J. Brown as chairman. It was this committee's responsibility to execute the project in spite of the lack of substantiation of certain information. We believe that this is the first project of its kind in the denomination's history. It is hoped that when the various educators and administrators re­ view the data about their own organizations, they will notify the Department of Education concerning any corrections and additions. They should please include supporting evidence from as many sources as possible. It is hoped that within the next five to ten years a revised edition may replace this first one. It would contain not only necessary changes, but also would be brought up to date.

World Patterns of Seventh-day Adventist Education is the only description of the church educational system by countries. A United Nations list of 218 countries has been used. This sixth edition of World Patterns has grouped in each country secondary and tertiary schools, and uses the official name in the language of the country, as it appears on all legal documents. (Non-English names can be traced to the SPA Yearbook by using the latter's General Index at the back of the book. Sharp's QlossaJY should be used for translating unfamiliar non-English educational terms). Curricula and credentials required for teaching in SDA schools are described as far as possible even where these are not obtainable within the SPA system in the country. This document will be updated from time to time. School entrance age is 6 unless otherwise indicated. An underlined initial means the program is government recognized. The division of the General Conference to which a country belongs is indicated in parentheses according to the code given under "Abbreviations and Symbols." Staffing of colleges and complete secondary schools can be found in the SPA Yearbook.

Seventh-day Adventist Dissertations and Theses in Religion A Bibliography Compiled by Jón Hjörleifur Stefánsson James White Library Andrews University Berrien Springs, MI 2012 Introduction The Seventh-day Adventist Church sponsors over 100 tertiary institutions around the world. Most of these engage in the training of Pastors at one level or another. Many offer graduate level degrees, and require a thesis or dissertation. This work is the first attempt to create a bibliography of theses and dissertations from all of these tertiary educational institutions. While a student at Andrews University, Jón Hjörleifur Stefánsson had the vision of developing this database, and I was pleased to provide the necessary support for this to happen. The data for the bibliography was gathered directly from the many institutions, and their cooperation has been greatly appreciated.
