I remember Timex, Kodak, Woolworth, Montgomery Wards, Pontiac, Pan American, Atari.
None of these companies died because of a lack of potential customers. The world population has always increased, it was never decreased.
These companies died because they were no longer relevant to their customers.
None of these companies died in an instant, there was plenty of warning.
In the last ten years the Pacific Union Conference has lost approximately 3500 students from our system.
In the last ten years approximately 120 Adventist schools have been closed nationally.
If a child does not accept Christ before the age of 14 years old, there is only a 15% chance of doing so in adulthood.
We are not only loosing students and schools, we are loosing the souls of the most innocent.
If I could be granted two wishes, it would be to completely revamp the management model of our educational system because it is failing us and teachers would be paid a lot more.
