Adam Bially, the Blue Mountain Academy (BMA) pastor, has been working closely with students who have expressed interest in sharing the Word of Jesus to their fellow peers and community. Student speakers Nathalia Phu, David Desouza, Loriann Korley and Jordan Slifka were recently invited to act on this interest by speaking at Reading Junior Academy’s (RJA) Week of Prayer.

“Our church had weathered over the years,” says Jonathan D’ugo, pastor of the Berwick church. “Paint had chipped and peeled. Wood frames around windows and doors were rotting. Cement eroded, making the church look bad and creating an unsafe structure.”
After being baptized, I wanted to share my faith. When a friend who was moving into the area asked me for advice on where to live, I gave him some practical tips and then told him about my newfound faith. He was very interested to learn more, and I was excited to share, but didn’t know where to start.
