Stoneybrooke Christian Schools Encourage Students to Serve Others

Attempting to minister in the lives of children around the world is an important part of what we do here at Stoneybrooke Christian Schools. Each classroom is involved in a missions project that reaches beyond the school’s ‘four walls’ and involves them in the life or lives of someone else hundreds or thousands of miles away. The students bring money and pool it each month to help sponsor a child or a ministry somewhere outside the borders of the United States.
Each January there is a school-wide mission’s emphasis week where outside speakers who have either actually work in foreign countries come and share their work with the students. Over the years the school has invited people to speak who have ministered in Africa, South America, Mexico, Europe and Asia. This year students were challenged by speakers from the Congo, Haiti and South Africa.
Students also responded to two challenges: a used shoe drive and a canned goods drive. Our student council collected over 1,500 good used pairs of shoes and passed them out to the needy on a street corner in San Juan Capistrano. Plus, the students brought in four huge barrels of canned goods which were donated to a local food bank.
Stoneybrooke kids realized they are blessed and are generous in sharing part of their blessing with others!
