Raise the Roof

Background music playing as students are walking into chapel service.

Doctor Alex Philip: “Why should anyone have the opportunity to hear the Gospel twice before everyone has had a chance to hear it once? This is a question that we confront our students with frequently. Why should anyone have the opportunity to hear the Gospel twice before everyone has had a chance to hear it once?”

Doctor Alex Philip: “Peoples Christian Academy is both an academic institution but it is a missions mobilization institution where we want to see our students take the gospel to the nations of the earth. We pray that they would go out as laborers into the harvest fields. I am excited about the Raise the Roof campaign because it will provide more opportunities for more students to come and receive a Christian education here at Peoples Christian Academy.”

Student: “I want a new library at our school!”

Doctor Alex Philip: “Our God loves the children of the world. I know that He desires for them to grow in the knowledge of Him and of the Gospel. And so, as we progress with this campaign, we will have more and more opportunities to bring more children to experience the love of God in Jesus Christ in our school facilities.”

Students rise to receive a benediction. Students

Student: “I would like them to make a few changes in the gym, like have a higher roof and all the lines on the floor for the sports we play. The school will have a stage where we can have performances, concerts, and plays.”

Doctor Alex Philip: “And so I am eager to see this campaign reach its goal and its target so that more children can come here, experience God’s love and then be sent out to share that love with the world in need.”
