My Son was Saved

How do I explain in a nutshell, the awesomeness of Maple Ridge Christian School? How do I describe how God used MRCS to keep my son here on earth and still alive? 

Noah was the kid that needed people to believe in him, before he could believe in himself. He was also the kid that even if you told him that the stove was hot, he would need to touch it for himself…and then touch it again with his second hand, just to be sure. I firmly believe and know the outcome of where my son is today wouldn’t have been the same had he not had the support, prayer and encouragement from the faculty at MRCS.

Noah entered MRCS in Grade 9. He had found himself caught up in substance abuse and addiction at an early age of 14, when he was only in Grade 8. These were the most stressful and darkest years for our family. He still had many struggles even after joining the MRCS community but always tried to DO better and BE better. He would try, and then he would fail, he would try harder, then fail again. But the difference at MRCS was that his support teachers saw that he was trying. They would tell him they believed in him, they would pray for him. They would encourage him. And that is exactly what he needed.

He made mistakes throughout his 4-year journey at MRCS, but the teachers never wrote him off. They worked with him each and every single day, and met him where he was at. Today Noah is addiction free, living for God and he is happy. I will never, ever forget the kindness, forgiveness, patience, and the living examples of Jesus exemplified in the staff at MRCS.
