LOOK UP, AIM HIGH, AND STAY FOCUSED
Oakview Preparatory School has truly been blessed with the
power of the Holy Spirit during our ‘Fall Week of Prayer.’ The
speaker for the week of prayer was none other than Pastor Desta Zabalotney, also fondly
known as Pastor Z. We were.

grateful that God sent him, because he really warmed
our hearts with his presentations . The theme for the week of prayer
was, ‘Look Up, Aim High, and Stay Focused.’ Pastor Z challenged
each student to be like Christ. He emphasized that through the
application of these words, Jesus was able to increase in wisdom and statue
and in favor with God and man (Luke 2:52). We were so

touched
by this theme, that we not only adopted it for the week of prayer,
but as a theme for our life. For us, this was great encouragement and for this we are grateful. Pastor Z also explained to us what sin is and how to handle
it. He told us that instead of telling God how big our storm is, we should tell our storm how big God is. This
admonition was greatly appreciated as it reminded both the students
and the faculty that our God can handle all of our problems.
|
Pastor Z was sent by God to help us to become better citizens and more importantly better Christians. We believe that God spoke through him to us. We were truly blessed and look forward to the next week of prayer.
