Over the years as a cardiologist, I’ve seen one simple truth become clearer with time:
Scripture’s wisdom about the heart—both literal and spiritual—is continually affirmed by experience.
What the Bible has long taught about nourishment, rest, moderation, community and purpose is no longer seen as merely devotional insight or something practiced by a small corner of the world; it is now being embraced at a cultural level with remarkable enthusiasm.

For many of us, Acts 1:8 serves as a call to action, but to reach the entire world can seem like a daunting task. However, at Highland View Academy (HVA), this passage is being embraced in a new and inspiring way.
“To the Ends of the Earth” is the theme for the 2025–26 school year. HVA is embracing its identity, not only as an academic institution, but as a spiritual training ground for world-changers. Staff are being called to create and grow young people who are prepared, passionate and ready to carry the message of Jesus wherever God leads them. But how?

Students travel from near and far to attend Blue Mountain Academy (BMA), whether it is just across the street or a 10-hour plane ride away. Despite the distance or the number of familiar faces, feelings of loneliness can persist. However, at BMA, those feelings can be transformed with the supportive community in place.
Milhery Jean-Misere (pictured center with his friends) is a three-year BMA student from Philadelphia. He previously attended Huntingdon Valley Christian Academy, a Pre-K to eighth grade school, like several current BMA students. Since Jean-Misere already knew some people on campus, it would be easy to assume that he wouldn’t feel lonely, but loneliness can hit even the ones you would least expect.

This year, the new school year at Shenandoah Valley Academy (SVA) began as expected: registration, orientation, dorm move-in, first classes, greeting new and old friends and teachers—and, most importantly, sacred time was set aside for worship and prayer to dedicate everything that happens on campus to God. Students, faculty and staff committed to a year with Jesus as the center of campus life.

At Lake Nelson Adventist Academy (LNAA), teaching is more than a profession—it is a ministry. Each classroom is a sanctuary where God’s calling and purpose meet daily instruction. The teachers are mentors and spiritual guides who have embraced their role as a lifelong mission.
