Students from grades PreK-8 at East Pasco Adventist Academy in Dade City, Fla., enjoyed their Week of Prayer, September 16-20, 2024, with guest speaker Sandra Doran, Ed.D, of Three Angels for Kids.
“The students were amazing,” said Doran. “From the youngest … all the way up to eighth grade, they stayed with me, actively participating in every session.”
With the theme centered on the first angel’s message, the series led students to a deeper appreciation of the Creator and a desire to commit all to Him. At the conclusion of each session, every class led by Doran participated in a step-by-step drawing to help them remember the object lesson presented that morning.
“This was the first time I’ve seen a Week of Prayer with kids drawing what they learned,” said Nirva Dorcin, upper grades teacher and organizer of the event. “It really helped my students connect and interact with the lessons. The series led to a lot of discussion about how they fit spiritually. We talked about their lives and the decisions they make every day.”
Jesse Benton, principal, agrees. “The students were very engaged,” he said. “You can tell the lessons were put together by an educator. Students quickly grasped the structure and knew what to expect each day. They reviewed the verse, learned a new word beginning with the letter “C,” listened to the story, and grasped the application.”
At the conclusion of the series, all students stood, committing their lives to Jesus. Fourteen requested Bible studies leading to baptism.
