March Family Update

Letter of thanks - from Judah

There were some people who helped pay for Judah's school last year. This was his "thank you" letter to them.
(If YOU would like to sponsor one of our children to attend BCA please let us know. We can give you information on how to give directly to the school for their fees or process it through YWAM. Approximate cost for one year per child is $1775usd).

> Thank you for helping to pay for my schooling at BCA. I think that BCA is a really excellent school. I use to homeschool then I got sick with cancer and would struggle in school a lot. Then I went to BCA and I think it really started to help me. It was challenging but I have learned to love it. My friends helped me and now I am excited to go every day. My teacher helps me excell in my school work and even helps me when it's too hard. I think she is helping me to learn a lot. I try to help her by behaving myself! I am happy that I get to go to BCA because I like my classes and all of my class mates, and I like all of my teachers. Anyways, thanks for helping to pay for this. I bet I could think of a few more stuff to say but I guess I'm kind of running out of time.
> Sincerely and with great thanks,

Remember your Valentine

The Roman Emperor Claudius II was fighting many wars. He wanted a strong army, but many men did not want to be soldiers. Claudius thought the men wanted to stay home to be with their wives and children instead of leaving to fight wars.
Claudius thought of an awful solution to his problem. He decided to cancel all marriages! No one in all of Rome could get married. Claudius thought that if the men couldn't get married, the men would ignore the women and want to be soldiers.
Valentine, who was a priest, believed that people needed to get married. He thought that if they were not married, they would be tempted to sin by living together without being married. So he secretly and illegally married couples anyway! He performed the weddings in secret places, so the Roman soldiers would not find out.
But they did find out. Valentine was arrested and brought before the Emperor. The Emperor thought Valentine was a well spoken and wise young man, and encouraged him to stop being a Christian and become a loyal Roman. Valentine would not deny his beliefs, and he refused. He was sent to prison until he could be executed. While he was in prison, he sent out letters to his friends and asked to be prayed for by writing Remember your Valentine.
Valentine was killed on the 14th or the 24th of February in the year 269 or 270. We celebrate Valentine's Day on February 14th in honor of St. Valentine
