💙 Make a Difference!

Volunteering is a great way to give back, meet new people, and become part of your community. Whether you help at a food pantry, community event, school activity, or local church, your time can make a difference!

Be Courageous!

Trying new things can be uncomfortable—especially in a new country and culture. Be brave, try something new, and remember that you don't have to do it perfectly.

📖 Joshua 1:9: Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

A successful student knows when to ask for help!

If you don't understand an assignment, are struggling with English, or feel overwhelmed, talk to a teacher, coordinator, host family member, or friend. You don't have to figure everything out alone.

One habit that helps students succeed: don't wait until the last minute!
Set aside a little time each day to review notes, finish assignments, and prepare for tests. Studying with friends can help too! 😊 Pictured: Owen, Hajun and Henry

Be encouraged and keep going! The Wednesday Word theme for October will bring encouraging words and scripture to help you along your way.

When school or work feels difficult, don't give up. Success often comes from staying faithful and continuing one step at a time. Prayer and Bible reading help to bring God’s love, focus and purpose to your efforts.

Galatians 6:9: Let us not become weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.
