THE MULTIPLICITY OF ENDOWMENTS<br />
From The <strong>GCA</strong> Board<br />
Jesus taught us, as recorded by His disciple Matthew, in chapter 18, verses<br />
3-5: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will<br />
never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of<br />
this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes one<br />
such child in my name welcomes me.”<br />
Scripture makes it clear that our Lord values youth and urges us to become<br />
like them, but do we really value children as He did?<br />
Obviously Georgia-Cumberland Academy values youth as demonstrated<br />
by its stated mission and vision, but recently the school showed an even clearer<br />
commitment by partnering with the Georgia-Cumberland Conference to establish<br />
an endowment fund that values youth with assistance for those in financial need.<br />
Since its inception in 2012 the <strong>GCA</strong> Worthy Student Endowment has grown<br />
from $5,000,000 to a balance of $5,268,027 while paying out $910,000 to worthy<br />
students along the way! This fund is not only growing but benefiting children<br />
while doing so.<br />
To top it off, this resource came along just as other funds were going away.<br />
Once again, as He typically does, God shows His true character by providing for those He values.<br />

Do you value children as He does? You can demonstrate what you value by providing financial assistance to <strong>GCA</strong> through<br />
the endowment fund while having confidence that the Lord will lead a child in need to <strong>GCA</strong> who will be blessed by your gift<br />
and the life changing blessing of a Christian education.<br />
