Aome Jacob Angeles – Loveland, Colorado … It was the reveal for the Adopt-A-Student program at Campion Seventh-day Adventist Church in Loveland, Colorado, December 6, in which church members anonymously “adopted” a Campion Academy student to support with prayers, gifts, and letters of encouragement.
The Adopt-A-Student program is split across the two semesters of the school year, and the female students participate in the first semester. Over potluck, the students got to find out who had been behind the gifts all semester.
Teagan Phillips, a junior student participating in the program, reflected, “I was thankful for the gifts and excited to see who my family was. I was a bit nervous while waiting to see who it was, but, when I saw them, I was really happy. I had a great time hanging out and eating with them.”
Overall, the female students enjoyed the semester and were grateful and blessed through the program. Taylin Weber, a junior student, shared her favorite gift: “My favorite gift from my adopted family was definitely the blanket they got me, especially with the cold weather!”
“I really enjoyed the gifts and anticipation of the reveal,” said Kelly Borne, senior student. “The prayers were super helpful, and it was overall a great experience. It kept me looking forward to something each week.”
