Southwest News

The week of September 16-20, Christian Academy Southwest will be celebrating the nations through Change the World for Christ. During this week teachers, staff and students will have their attention focused on the nations and the Savior of those nations. To be mindful of each nation students will be enlightened to specific needs each country is currently experiencing when it comes to the spread of the gospel (i.e. missionaries) and establishment of churches (i.e. Christians).

During this week of celebration, students will be asked to wear a specific color each day the week of September 16. For students to dress out they will need to donate $1 (The donations raised will still go to the Jackson family, who are missionaries in Asia). Students may also wear blue jeans, uniform shorts/pants and/or accessories (e.g. bracelets, scrunchies, hair bows, socks, etc…) that represent the country and/or match the color of the day.

• Monday (September 16): China (class color = Red)
• Tuesday (September 17): Saudi Arabia (class color = Orange)
• Wednesday (September 18): USA: (class color(s) Red, White and Blue (students may wear either Red or White or Blue)
• Thursday (September 19): India (class color = Green)
• Friday (September 20): Honduras (class color = Blue)

We invite you all to join Christian Academy Southwest during our week of Change the World for Christ. We ask that you pray for the many missionaries serving in these countries, for the Christians in these countries that they would be faithful to proclaim the gospel, for the governments of these nations that they would cease their hostility toward Christ and for the peoples of these nations that their hearts would be providentially opened to respond to the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Finally, pray for us and our students that we may be filled with missionary zeal for the lost and the only Savior given amongst men by which the lost may be saved.
