First Sabbath Offering for Whispering Pines Christian School

With the help of the Lord, Whispering Pines Christian School has during the past eight years provided its students with an education based on God’s Word. Located among the pines thirty miles east of Sacramento, California, this God-ordained institution is rooted in a Bible-based curriculum with the singular purpose of developing the student’s mind, soul, and body.

Through the Lord’s mercy and His abundant grace, combined with the fervent prayers and efforts of many believers, the enrollment has increased beyond the capabilities of our current facilities.

As the Lord continues to send more precious souls to the school, we see a great need to construct a new school building. The temporary modular rooms and trailers that are currently being used as classrooms are old and somewhat inadequate. This, coupled with the possibility of more than doubling the enrollment next year, necessitates the building of a new facility.

However, “some may ask, ‘How are such schools to be established?’ We are not a rich people, but if we pray in faith, and let the Lord work in our behalf, He will open ways before us to establish small schools in retired places for the education of our youth.”—Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students, p. 204.

Though the brethren and sisters are making great sacrifices to achieve this goal, the estimated cost ($300,000) is still greater than all of their available resources. We therefore appeal to you, brethren and friends around the world, to extend your loving hands through generous contributions.

We desire that you pray about adopting Whispering Pines Christian School as one of your missionary endeavors. The believers in northern California wish to express in advance their gratitude for your brotherly kindness. May the Lord impress you how to help in this all-important work of training the young, and grant each giver a special blessing.
