"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 1978
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."

"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."

From the Principal's Desk

 | | Tim Kubrock, Principal |
Dear MBA Family,
Have you ever been following someone in your car until you got separated from each other and then became lost? That happened to me once-back in the day before cell phones! Naturally, I was in a hurry to catch up and wouldn't you know it-I got pulled over by a policeman. Sometimes things go wrong when we try to follow other people. But if we  choose to follow Jesus, He is always the same and is patiently waiting for us. He promises that "You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart."--Jeremiah 29:13. He doesn't say that we "might" find Him, and He doesn't play hide and seek with us. The decision is ours, whether we want to be found by Him. |
