Speaker Andrew Barrett brought spiritual renewal to Campion Academy students during the first Week of Worship of the year. This Week of Worship was different because the meetings took place during the morning before any of the classes had started. Luca Lu, a senior, shared his opinion on the adjustment, “For me, I usually do my devotions in the morning, so it was really great to receive the word when we had worship in the morning. Not only because I have a clearer mind in the morning, but also because it helped me to set a good vibe for the rest of the day.” This week's speaker, Andrew Barrett, had a passion for nursing and preaching. He spoke about the weight of God’s love and God’s yearning for man. He often referred to the Bible and the writings of Ellen G. White, and he also shared his own personal experiences. Charlie Reeves, a senior, shares his takeaway from the message, “He wasn’t telling us about all the things we’re doing wrong as teenagers, but he was talking about how strong the love of Jesus is. And if you truly realize how much He loves you then it’d be hard not to love Him back.” Andrew Barrett concluded the Week of Worship at vespers. Towards the end of the meeting all the students gathered on the stage, put their arms over each other's shoulders, and sang “I Surrender All.” Remembering the week, Andrew Barrett said, “There was never a moment where I wasn’t connected with the students.” Aome Jacob Angeles, Student News Team Photos by: Bruno Lopes

This past week, Campion Academy held a Week of Worship with Wayne Morrison sharing about the unconditional love of Jesus and how He transforms us to be more like Him.
The main point of his message was to help students understand the gift of eternal life, our identity as children of God, and our transformation in Christ. Morrison gave a clear message of how God is working in our lives and that He is love. Davi Vieira, a new student this semester shared, “For my first Week of Worship at Campion, I really enjoyed taking some time away from classes and worshiping God with my friends this week. The way Morrison talked made me feel motivated and happy because we are not alone and Jesus is working in our lives. I can’t wait to have another week like that.” In addition to the speaker, the praise team introduced the theme song “Champion,” making the message more impactful to the students. Yngrid Silva, junior expressed, “I think the theme song for WOW was one of the best. It really impacted my thoughts about our salvation in Christ and I really enjoyed listening to the praise team singing it on the stage. It made me feel good and inspired by the lyrics.” Piano player for the praise team, Shawn Ferguson shared, “Honestly, this week was one of the best we’ve had as far as music, in my opinion, and I really enjoyed the message. Overall the experience was great, and I can’t wait for the next Week of Worship.” Pedro Vieira, Student News Team This past week, Campion Academy had the pleasure of holding the first Week of Worship with Dick Duerksen sharing memorable stories from the Bible and from his experiences around the world.
In his lectures during the week, Duerksen’s main point was to help the Campion students understand how much Jesus loves each of them. Eriane Saraiva, a senior student, expressed, “Learning more about Jesus’ love, was an amazing experience to me. Hearing that Jesus loves me so much and He will run to save me, is something that I will never forget.” Daniel Camas, a senior student, agreed that God’s love was an important theme, “There are still many more things that we can learn about Jesus’ love. It is always something worth studying and preaching about.” In addition to the speaker, a student-led praise team introduced the theme song “Never Lost”, making the worship more impactful. Jasmine Smittick, junior student, said, “The theme song reminded me that even through tough times when I don’t know where I am going or I feel lost, I remember that God has it all in control. No matter what happens, He’s already won the battle.” Duerksen used his photography as a feature in his presentations. “The pictures that he takes reflect God's true character and His love towards us through the beauty of nature,” shared Sharon Vasquez, a senior student. To finish the Week of Worship, Duerkson did a photography presentation of “Lions, Bears, Boobies and Bubbles” on Friday night, and a sermon called “When God Smiles” on Sabbath at Campion Church. The students of Campion Academy were left with the feeling of being blessed by Duerkson’s words and his teachings, and certainly knowing more about God. Julia Santiago, Student News Team |
