It’s been an amazing beginning to the story of Barnabas Prep. In planning for the inaugural year of this new program there was a bit of anxiety.
And, as with any startup, it has taken a few weeks to get the program grounded and create solutions to the challenges that have arisen. But we could not have asked for better results. We are now running in stride and enjoying every minute of it.
Our students recently returned from Fall Break and are working hard on their play. Their performance is tomorrow (Thursday, October 27) at Camp Barnabas from 6pm – 8pm. If you are in the area, we would love for you to join us in the dining hall at camp for this free event which includes delectable appetizers.
The play is a valuable experience for our students. It gives them something to be passionate about and incorporates several of the skills we are aiming for in this program. They are developing self-confidence while working on the following skills: communication, teamwork, public speaking, motivation, writing, creativity, and computer technology. You won’t want to miss seeing this played out on Thursday night.
October drawing to a close means only seven months left in this year’s program but there are still plenty of learning and exciting experiences ahead of us. If you happen to remember us during your time with God during the day, we would definitely not turn down any prayers. You may pray for the program as a whole to continue our success as well as for our students individually as they develop the life-skills and job-skills that express their abilities to the fullest.
Sincerely,
George White
Director of Barnabas Prep
