New Lost & Found Policy We are beginning a new policy with Lost & Found after Easter, with stricter consequences and higher prices due to the excessive number of unclaimed items that continue to be left around ECA. Make sure all clothing and other items are labeled, and talk to your children about being more responsible with their belongings. PTF will be administering the new system, and fines will be a donation to PTF for their efforts in organizing the logistics.

With 7 adopted HIV positive children in their family, their story of God’s power to change lives, heal, and give purpose was motivating! • Our teaching staff had a full day of professional development on E-Day. • Greg Needham, representing Teach Beyond, the mission that our teachers Sarah and Ed Trussell are members of, visited this week. We are always grateful when leaders of the missions of our missionaries come visit! This mission is responding to the overwhelming need for transformational education around the world and want to use education to help transform lives both here on earth and beyond by serving schools like ECA and supporting professionals such as our ECA teachers in any way we can. Prayer • Due to construction costs and other expenses, our ECA bank accounts are at an alltime low, so be praying for wise stewardship of our funds and for the families that are behind in payments. We have almost $100’000.000 that are owed at this time to ECA and this lack of funds is beginning to affect our ability to pay our bills in a timely manner. • For our staff after a day of analyzing and brainstorming, as they follow-up on E-Day and the different goals that were formed to help us grow in academic excellence. • For our Amazon team ministering in the jungle—read the email prayer alerts and use them to pray with details. • For Flavio Uribe’s needed knee surgery - the insurance company still has not approved it. • For the López Family (Susana 6th, Emilio 8th and Tomas 10th) as mother Nohora is still battling cancer with chemotherapy. • Continue to keep missionary Russell Stendal in your prayers for the legal accusations he faces. They are in Leticia & Guanabara III! Yesterday afternoon our mission team arrived safely in Leticia: Students Gabriela Abaunza Juan David Bernate Gabriel Burgos Santiago Cañas Elías Frantz Cielo Izquierdo Sulgui Vanessa No Margarita Pinzón Pamela Salcedo Ana María Triviño María Alejandra Yepes Medical/Dental Brigade Sol Rocio Izquierdo, nurse Juanita Paz, doctor Leila Martínez, doctor Sandra Miguez, dentist ECA Staff Juan Carlos Castellanos Robbie Becker Yolanda Cardozo Jake Carlson Elle Carlson This morning they were at La Aljaba Orphanage, where our students and medical team served about 100 children; they had a special time sharing the gospel using the wordless book, and playing with the children. We will send daily news from the team to all parents and all MS and HS students to know what to pray. In general, pray: • For the Lord to touch the hearts of the Tikunas in the village of Guanabara III. • For them to truly receive the message of Salvation via all the different activities. • For protection for the team against sickness, accidents, and spiritual opposition. Go to http://eca.edu.co/school-life/amazon-2014 to watch the 13-minute video made of last year’s trip and know better how to pray for our team.

ECA Weekly Bulletin eca.edu.co Issue #34-27 | bulletin@eca.edu.co Click here to see the school calendar for this month Main News Elementary Secondary Nov27 7 Mar FRI FRI Elementary Spelling Bee Lists Elementary Chapel Upper Elementary During this Easter season, when we celebrate Jesus dying for our sins and then rising again in victory over the enemy, elementary students and families are invited to reflect on what Jesus has saved you from. Today in chapel, as we sang the song “Our God is Mighty to Save,” students reflected on what God has saved them from, and wrote their sins on posters, which were then symbolically put on the cross. The 4th quarter slogan for 1st - 4th grades is, “Do what is right, because it is right, no matter who is looking.” Miss Räikkönen shared a story from her childhood, about how she did what was right by giving back some extra money a store clerk mistakenly gave her. Her father saw her and gave her a reward for doing what is right. Our earthly father is not always watching us, but our heavenly father is, and the reward he gives us is peace in our hearts now and hope for an eternal reward far beyond anything we can imagine! Lower Elementary students reviewed the parable of the talents and the heart attitudes of each of the players in the parable. They then discussed how they have reflected these attitudes in their own hearts and actions, and how to be responsible with the things God has given them. Word lists for the annual Spelling Bee were sent home with students today, and will be posted on our website soon, under School Life / Resources. The class and final Spelling Bee activities will be held May 11-15. Please help your children study for this academic competition!
