An Early Morning with Blue Mountain Academy students

Friday morning at 7 a.m. found me joining Chaplain Shawnessey Cargile’s 1st period Bible Class. Shawnessey had warmly invited me to participate in one of his classes. I presented an over-view of the investigative judgment and the 2,300 day prophecy.




A wonderful tool is the ShareHim evangelistic messages presented through power point presentations on specially computer software. Many of our churches and committed lay people here in Pennsylvania have used this evangelistic software to share Christ’s messages in our churches and towns. These same computer presentations were used by our PA Youth and Young Adults in preaching last summer in Guatemala and then again back in Pennsylvania. As I shared the message of the prophecy pointing directly to Christ’s anointing, crucifixion and the gospel going to the gentiles, along with the beginning of the judgment hour in 1844, I used this software to not only teach, but also to demonstrate to the BMA students how they could use this for presenting Christ’s messages in an evangelistic setting.




How thankful we can be that our Conference here in Pennsylvania has the blessing of a Christian academy like BMA. Our students at BMA have the privilege of receiving a Christian atmosphere while they are preparing to take their place as adults in this present world. BMA is a school where the day begins with worship, Bible messages are openly taught, prayer is offered often, the name of Jesus can be spoken with respect and adoration instead of only as part of an expression of cursing, and worship and service for Christ are openly incorporated into the weekly life of each student. With all the good that public schools can provide, this is the difference that our Adventist students need, while they are going through their formative years.
