"The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD issure,
making wise the simple; the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes." Psalm19:7,8

The blessings I have received at World Mission Christian School (WMCS) are innumerable. One of the blessings that I was able to receive through WMCS is "education in Christ and in the word of the Lord." Ephesians 6 says, "Bring (children) up in the training and instruction of the Lord," and I believe that WMCS is a school that embodies this. Through daily morning devotions where the Bible is studied chapter by chapter and an annual Bible memorization event (Bible Bowl), WMCS students are trained to study and store up the Word of God on a daily basis. Through this testimony, I would like to share how education in the Word of the Lord has blessed my life.
One of the aspects of personal growth that the Lord's Word has greatly helped.
me to develop is respect for my parents. In Moses' Ten Commandments, it is written, "Honor your father and your mother," and at WMCS, this is taught from preschool age (nursery school). I myself was brought up under such teachings of the Lord from a young age, and I grew to respect my parents. I believe that by having this attitude of respect, I was able to learn and enjoy many good traits of my parents.

Another aspect of my upbringing in the Word of the Lord at WMCS was learning to respect my neighbor, especially those in authority, and the ability to see the good in people rather than their weak points. This has had a very positive impact on my relationships. The Bible teaches us to respect the authority the Lord has established and to consider others as better than ourselves (Philippians 2:3). In addition, it tells us to keep our eyes on the positive characteristics of "all that is true, all that is honorable, all that is just..." (Philippians 4:8). Of course, we do not always put those things into practice. However, at WMCS, I was always taught to respect teachers and pastors and to learn well from them. I was taught to pay attention to the good points of my neighbors, to praise them sincerely, and to avoid gossiping behind their backs as much as possible. This has allowed me to have blessed relationships. I feel that I have learned many good things from these teachings, not only within the WMCS community, but also with my friends.
and seniors at the university, my professors, and even at my part-time job, where I have been able to build close relationships with others by being respectful to them.

Not only that, but at WMCS, we emphasize "relationship with God" above all else, which is the foundation of everything we teach. The things mentioned above are of course wonderful, but they are impossible without first receiving unconditional love from God ourselves.
Through WMCS, I have learned that my sins were paid for on the cross and I was given eternal life, and that I am called to a relationship of love with God as His child, the bride of Christ. "But as for me, it is good to be near God." (Psalm73:28)
Currently, I am in the midst of daily studies at the Department of Medicine at the University of the Ryukyus to become a physician. By God's grace, I was able to enroll in April 2020, and am now in my third year. As of now, I enjoy balancing club activities and studies, such as serving as the head of the Emergency and Disaster Medicine Club and joining the School of Medicine's dance club. I also serve as an interpreter, worship leader, and youth leader at my mother church, Okinawa World Mission Church, where I am given opportunities for spiritual growth. In the future, I hope to become a medical missionary in a remote area where medical resources are scarce and shine the glory of the Lord.
All glory to the Lord.
