The past few weeks have been challenging for students, parents, and teachers. Mixed among the challenges are many examples of random acts of kindness. Galatians 5:22 (NIV) states, “But the fruit of the Spirit is … kindness …”

I don’t want anything in return for this, but just felt impressed to make a contribution at this point in time.

Like I have stated many times before, the Holy Spirit is very active at Chinook Winds Adventist Academy and, although the enemy may have halted our ‘brick and mortar’ school for a short while, the Holy Spirit has not forgotten our students, parents, teachers or significant others who allow us to exercise faith during this time of challenge. Thanks, from the Teachers and Staff at CWAA!
