The Awards Night at BFA celebrates top students, athletes, musicians, and those with exceptional character.
S, a Palmgarten senior, was able to share about how God changed her during her time at BFA. When she first came, she wanted to become a fashion designer so that she could be rich and famous and buy anything she wanted. (I knew her as a sophomore and this was her greatest desire.) Then she shared how she saw the selflessness of the staff and her teachers. Because of these witnesses, she began to spend more time reading the Bible and began to desire to know Jesus Christ in an intimate way...and God had changed her. Now her greatest desire is to go into N. Korea and share Christ. This is an extremely closed country to the Gospel. Pray the God will pave a way for S and that He will protect her.
One of the Palm seniors, J, was awarded the outstanding musician award!!!
I had the privilege of awarding the Valedictorian Award. Avant Ministries sponsored that award and I am currently the only Avant missionary serving at BFA. The valedictorian was a young man who lived in the boys dorm above Palm and is an excellent athlete, great older brother, a Chinese-Canadian, and of course an exceptional student.
