Historia de V. Michelle Bernard

Veintitrés equipos de la Unión de Columbia que participaron en la Experiencia Bíblica para Conquistadores (PBE) ocuparon el primer lugar en el evento virtual de la División Norteamericana (NAD) en abril. Los miembros de estos equipos estudiaron los libros de Hebreos, Santiago y 1 y 2 Pedro durante meses, antes del evento, el segundo que se llevó a cabo virtualmente debido a las precauciones contra la pandemia. Veinticinco equipos de la unión calificaron para participar en el evento de la división al ocupar el primer lugar en el evento de la unión en marzo.

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life“ (John 3:16, KJV).

John 3:16 reminds me of how much God loves us. He loves us so much that He gave His only Son to take the punishment for our sins and die on a cross in our place. If God hadn’t given Jesus to take our place, we would all be dead, as sin would have consumed us from the inside out.

Story by Matheus Gaulia

Junior Matheus Gaulia shares what God has been doing in his life on the campus of Blue Mountain Academy (BMA):

BMA has drastically changed my life. When I arrived on campus as a freshman, I had my future planned out with ambitious goals and dreams. Three years later, God is changing those plans and showing me what He wants for my life.

Story by Joshua Raymond

LNAA is a relatively small school located in Piscataway. The sophomore class only has 15 students, including myself, but, as a result, we are a truly connected community. Many of us have known and grown up with each other through the years at LNAA. We have seen our friends’ struggles and triumphs and have loved, laughed, played, cried, hated, and felt the same pain with each other; we have always flourished and gotten through life together.
