Students of the Berean Christian Academy held a special event at the school recently during which they used their journalistic and musical talents to highlight what is “best about Christmas.”

Principal of the school, Deborah Thomas said the program, dubbed, “Best Person of all is Jesus” allowed the students to focus on the most important thing about Christmas.

“The program tonight was the ‘Best Present of all is Jesus.’ It started with two of our students they were news anchors… there were different segments of students where we video taped, asking questions, what is their favourite Christmas song and other things,” she said.

Mrs. Thomas continued, “They spend the last two weeks during school speaking to the children one on one and interviewing them compiling everything together to fit as news segments throughout the news program and there were songs in between… some kind of light talking about Christmas and focusing in the end what the most important thing of Christmas is.”

The event also included fundraising activities and past students had an opportunity to meet and greet.

Meanwhile, Thomas said one of the goals of the school is, “ to see that our children do well in national assessments.” She added, “We have a goal that they will all be good citizens as we train them.”

The Berean Christian Academy started operations in Dominica in September, 1980.

Thomas says the school was established based on the word of God.

    I see the way public/secular education in Canada (Ontario) is being taken over by the god of this world system :twisted: to the destruction of young minds.

    Thank God for Christian schools that are based upon the Word of God! They have an opportunity to teach the children the moral code God has given us for human behavior in the New Testament including the Biblical family values that are the cornerstone of every civilized society. This kind of education if it is adhered to will make a nation great.

    The Christ centered Christmas presentation of Berean Christian Academy gave me cause to rejoice. In any activity or program you could do no better than to lift up and exalt the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Lift Jesus higher,
    Life Jesus higher.
    Lift HIM up for the world to see.
    For He said
    And I, if I be lifted up
    Will draw all men unto me.

    Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. International Evangelist.

      This has been the message perpetuated by your race and has had a stronghold, especially on the African race. We have looked up to your god for salvation and ever since, we have been catching hell as a people, wherever we are on this planet. This is what has been put in place, along with politics and the educational systems to further wipe away our history as a race and never to rise again as a people. These are controlled systems and we, as a race, have to rise above that in order to be free in our minds, and spirits.
      Through conquest, uncivilised Europeans, used the bible and the gun to control our race. History is recorded and cannot be erased. Many of us believe that Africa was, and is an uncivilised continent but the invaders were the uncivilised ones, and that is in their DNA. Africa has been the mother of civilisation and that’s where these Europeans had to go for knowledge. How dare you talk about civilised society! It is because of colonialsm that Africa is in that mess today.

        The early missionaries who went to Africa from the U.K., the U.S.A, and Canada wrote much about what they found in Africa. I have read some of their books. I have also read books written by others about their lives and work in Africa.

        The Africa they portrayed was not the Africa you imagine. I could give you story after story that demonstrates the lives and hardships of a people with no knowledge of the true and living God, his Word, and his ways. Ask a Christian African today and he will say he is glad for the gospel reaching his shores and the difference it made to his people. I personally know many such Afro-Canadians.

        All over Africa today there are large Christian churches under the capable leadership of native pastors reaching out with a determination to win their people to Christ.

        Needy and suffering African nations welcome the help that comes from Europe, and North America. Some of this help may come from government or non-governments organizations which are entirely secular.

        However, I could tell you of nation after nation in Africa where our Christian churches and ministries have spent – or are spending – millions of dollars digging wells to provide clean drinking water, build and operate orphanages, schools, hospitals, and clinics. They are there treating the lepers, and caring for thousands of widows and children who have been left destitute by AIDS and other diseases. My own church is in the vanguard of this loving practical outreach to Africa.

        There have been people from Europe and other parts of the world go to Africa for reasons which may not have been honorable. I am sorry for whatever bad influences or damage they are responsible for. However, it is not fair to blame us for their wrong doing. They are not part of us.

    Wonderful. One of the most disciplined schools ever established in Dominica. The children who move on to Secondary schools also have excelled and most of them bring in their excellent conduct and behavior from BCA to the the other schools. The Lord Jesus leads it.

    The spiritual oppression of the mind continues and the young ones are the targets .We are truly blind to the fact that those who continue the oppression are held highly in that regard. (We look up to them as though they are the ones who can free us). Teaching them to be news anchors is great but the news that they were broadcasting is a continuous enslavement of the mind.

      There is no better news for mankind than the good news of the gospel.

      Literally the word gospel means good news. For a definition of what the gospel is please get your Bible and read 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. Then read what it can do in Romans 1:16 :!:

      This message of hope does not blind the mind nor oppress. I delivers, heals, and sets free. For over 50 years now I have been telling this – the sweetest story ever told – to multiplied thousands of people in many nations. I have known it to make the drunkard sober, the thief honest, the prostitute virtuous, and deliver people from superstition and the fear of death.

      No people in the world have given the gospel a greater welcome and shown more appreciation for the message than the people of Africa. From the countries of Africa come many trophies of grace :!:

        That’s exactly what christianity did to Africa. Colinised, oppressed, raped, stole and erased the history of a once greatest people who gave the world civilisation. As you mentioned, “the early missionaries (who went there to propagate chrisrianity) did not portray the Africa that I imagine” because the Greeks, such as “Alexander the destroyer,” did havoc to many of what he found there. The Europeans (your descendants), did not know about civilisation. Read “The destruction of black civilisation,” by Chancellor Williams. “Ancient Egypt The Light of The World”, by Gerald Massey, “Christopher Columbus and the African Holacaust” by John Henrik Clarke, “Christianity Slavery and Labour” by Chapman Cohen, “The Arab Invasion of Egypt and the Last 30 Years of the Roman Dominion, by Alfred J Butler.
        You are right. Ancient Egyptians did not serve the slave masters’ gods. They did not worship the white man’s god. Instead they lived in harmony with nature and the universe and had…
