Testimonies Reveal
the Character of God
Who doesn’t love a good story? It conveys
meaning, entertains, and even inspires. It is to
be shared and enjoyed. But when a story gives
glory to the Lord and tells of God’s faithfulness, it becomes
so much more than just a story; it becomes a testimony.
And testimonies have power. They touch the heart, stir
the spirit, and change lives.
Preaching to the Israelites in Deuteronomy 4:9, Moses delivers a stern warning to
God’s people: “Be very careful never to forget what you have seen God doing for you.
May his miracles have a deep and permanent effect on your lives. Tell your children
and your grandchildren about the glorious miracles he has done.” In essence, Moses is
saying your testimony is not just for you.
Testimonies are God’s revelation of Himself to us. The remembrances shared by
alumni from the classes of 1967 and 1972 remind us of the countless ways our
Academy experiences have been woven into each of our personal testimonies. And
when knowledge of the divine and unchanging character of God’s faithfulness is
revealed to the next generation through our testimonies, their faith is nourished and
strengthened.
On the pages that follow, we recognize those who have faithfully supported us in
our commitment to help each student develop a personal, vibrant, and growing
relationship with Jesus Christ. In the years to come when our students reflect on
their time at Wheaton Academy, we pray they are able to confidently proclaim
His greatness, power, and faithfulness as evident in their own lives. Thank you for
your role in making the testimony and impact of Wheaton Academy a reality. Your
partnership is greatly appreciated.
We will not hide
them from their
children, but tell
to the coming
generation the
glorious deeds
of the LORD, and
his might, and
the wonders that
he has done.

Come and hear, all you who fear God, and
I will declare what He has done for my soul.
