THE TRUTH IS...
"The atmosphere at MBA is very warm and supportive, the teachers are very Christ centered, the school offers many interesting opprotunities for a variety of activities, and the campus is an idyllic place to attend school."

"My conversion to Christ at MBA set my life in a direction that cannot be described in words, because it has been an experience. I could never repay the valuable training and life preparation I received at MBA."
Jose Rojas, Class of 1979
Director, Volunteer Ministries, North American Division of SDA |
"I feel a certain pride toward MBA. I feel it is a school that really develops a child's character. Compared to other schools I have seen, MBA seems so personal and because of the boarding school experience, it is like a family. I feel very attached to MBA and being at MBA makes me feel like part of a kind of special 'club', a club connected with God that has many members that all have that same feeling."
Danica Betts, Class of 2011
Associated Student Body (A.S.B.) Executive Vice President 2010-2011 |
"I am indebted to the teachers and leaders that I now realize were making great sacrifices to work at MBA. The education, discipline, and life-long friendships from my years at MBA are invaluable assets that will live with me forever."

Medical Director, CURE International, Haiti and Santo Domingo |

Dear MBA Family,
A bad story often begins with the phrase..."It seemed like a good idea at the time......". For example, yesterday, Dean Lou and I decided to move our meeting from my office to the backyard of my house. I knew that some workers were completing work on our new deck-but it still seemed like a good idea at the time. During the middle of our meeting as the leaf blower was going full blast behind me, I could see Dean Lou talking (his lips were moving) but I couldn't hear a thing. Then I realized...."It seemed like a good idea at the time...(but probably wasn't)" Another time, I made the mistake of purchasing a vehicle after dark. I had to live with that color and vehicle for years. What about you? Did you ever get into trouble over something that started out with a little fun? One thing is certain, whenever we take a step towards Jesus, we will NEVER be sorry for that decision. It is ALWAYS a good idea to move closer to Jesus. |

MBA Happenings |
 | | Week of Prayer speaker, Pastor Keith Gray |
We have been richly blessed this week with Pastor Keith Gray from Southwestern Adventist University in Texas as our Week of Prayer speaker. He has presented the gospel in a very compelling and powerful way and we have seen God's Holy Spirit on our campus. Yesterday, over 50 students and adults answered the call to stand up for Jesus. I would encourage you to join us if you can for vespers tonight at 7:30pm or Church tomorrow morning at 11:10am. Beautiful Spring weather has finally arrived and the temperature reached a rare 80 degrees yesterday on campus.
Our Mission trip team returned from Belize last Monday night, tired but thankful for a safe and wonderful experience. The A.S.B. Spring Banquet will take place this Sunday, April 3 at 6:00pm in the cafeteria. The banquet theme is "Under the Sea". |
