Dear Kingsway Alumni,
I recently asked a
parent to write an article for the Canadian
Messenger regarding
her experience with
Christian education.
She has two children
currently enrolled at
Kingsway College and I want to quote her
analogy of what Kingsway College is for her
children. She shared the following comparison: “While Noah and his family were in the
ark, the rain, the wind and the raging sea
tossed the boat to and fro. The inside must
have been very smelly, with all the animals.
It must have been very uncomfortable, but
it was the ark of safety. Kingsway College –
and all Adventist schools – have their challenges, but they are our modern-day arks of
safety. They represent parental compliance
to God’s Word, which is equivalent to the
obedience Noah demonstrated in the face
of ridicule. Although there are no guarantees, would you rather have your children
inside the boat, or [leave them] in a place
where they may be swept away by the attractions of the world?”
As you look through the pages of this
edition of the KC Contact, I challenge you
to think about your experience at Kingsway
College and how much your parents sacrificed to send you to this school. Many times
it was not just a financial sacrifice. For some
of them, it may have been ridicule from others at the very idea of paying to send their
kids to Kingsway College for an education
they could get for free at public school.
We are still looking for interesting stories
from our alumni regarding your experience
at Kingsway that was meaningful to you.
Was the sacrifice made by your parents
worth it and how did attending this school
change your view on life or even the direction of your life? Kingsway is not a perfect
school by any stretch of the imagination,
but we continue to provide a place where
young men and women can come and have
a life changing experience. If you have kids,
grandkids, great grandkids, nephews, cousins or even neighbours that could benefit
from this modern day “ark of safety”, make
sure to contact Kingsway because I “noah”
guy.
The KC Contact is going
Digital!
