don’t be afraid!

The students of The Rock Christian School have been advised to embrace the changes that come with transitioning to a new school.

This encouragement came from Evangelist Jamar Watts of the Truth Baptist Church, as he delivered the feature address during the school’s graduation ceremony on Tuesday evening.

“As you transition to your new school, embrace the changes but stick to your lifestyle of excellence, knowing that this walk will cause you to face what is going on in your heart and what others are bringing towards you. It won’t be easy and it is not an easy road as it will call for much discipline, but the benefits are worth it,” he said.

“Don’t be afraid when you go into your new school to pray; don’t be afraid to walk with your bible; don’t be afraid when you go into your new school to bow your head to bless your food. Walking in the spirit of excellence means pursuing your academics, pursuing your relationship with God, and as you step into your new secondary schools, don’t be one to encourage violence, be a peacemaker.

“May God protect you, may God elevate you in your school, may God make you a beacon in your school,” he added.

Watts’ addressed focused on different ways to encourage the children to continue to walk in the spirit of excellence that they would have grown accustom to at their primary school.

He urged them to be determined to walk in the spirit of excellence, even when they feel afraid and nervous, and when they have to make a stand, even though they may feel all alone.

“When you walk in the spirit of excellence you can be assured that God will be there to strengthen your heart,” he said.

Chairman of the Board, Marcia Jenkins, encouraged students to always want excellence for themselves, and to continue to push a little harder to achieve their goals.

And judging from the marks they scored in the 2019 Barbados Secondary Schools’ Entrance Examination, she believes that they are already on the right path.
