Life: Origin. Value. Purpose. These words made up the theme of this year's Apologetics conference that was held at Charleston Southern University. Last Friday, PCA’s Juniors and Seniors, under the guidance of Bible teacher, Quinn Disrud, and History teacher. Dr. Roger Weaver, were able to attend this thought-provoking conference.

The purpose of the Endure Conference is to act as a “catalyst for helping students understand how the Bible defines life's origin, details life's true, eternal value, and declares life's ultimate purpose. Endure prepares high school students under university professors who specialize in Theology, Student Ministry, Philosophy, and the Old and New Testament.”

Students listened to Keynote Speaker Dr. Brent Crowe, Vice President of Leadership University in Orlando, Florida speak before dividing into Breakout sessions which focused on topics such as “Paul and the Meaning of Life”, “Life in the Body,” and “Mission and the Defense of the Diversity of Life.”

“It was educational in learning about the origin and purpose of life through interactive stories!” agreed members of the Junior class.

“The Endure Conference was a great opportunity for our kids to dive deeper into Christian World and life views!” explained Dr. Weaver.

Missionaries Unite! The annual ECBC Global Missions Conference took place this past weekend with great success! Not only did these amazing missionaries come from the USA to Central Asia and lots of countries in between, but they were also kind enough to speak to the students of PCA!

“We have enjoyed the annual partnership with ECBC / PCA to champion global missions,” said ECBC Kids Ministry Director, English Preston.“Every year, we try to provide more tangible ways that kids can participate in missions from home.”

This year, lower school students heard more about Operation Christmas Child and how they can assist in sharing the love and hope of Jesus around the world. Missionaries went into the kindergarten through second grade classrooms to talk about what it means to be a missionary, and what that looks like, while the 3rd and 5th grade students got to hear the incredible story of a missionary who works with Operation Christmas Child, who was an actual recipient of an OCC box.

“Our Global Partners love visiting PCA's lower school classes to meet with students to recount and retell of God's faithfulness in their country,” Preston explains. “It is encouraging for our Partners, and it is an incredible opportunity to begin to stir the hearts of our students (at a young age!) for God's will to draw all nations to Himself.”

PCA thanks all of the missionaries who came to share their stories and hearts with the students.
