John The Baptist Mission Statement
I, John Baptist de La Salle spread his love and compassion for the people of his country. He dedicated his life to giving good quality education to kids of all background rich or poor. Brother Leo Kirby did really well describing the life of John the Baptist, in the text it says "if I were asked what was my greatest contribution to education, I'd have to say that it was recruiting quality teachers and giving them a sense of pride in their work “Brother Leo Kirby also states that "our brothers are intelligent, well educated, compassionate, unselfish, and full of faith. We are all things to all people. Like any crowd, we have the poor amongst us, but we are all the richer because of them." This sentence describes the mission of John the Baptist and what he …show more content…
He gave up his salary to a poor priest and gave his money to feed the hunger. That was the point when John the Baptist truly recognized himself as a Christian brother. Reading this booklet written by Brother Leo Kirby truly inspired me, it taught me to be a good person and to be faithful to god. I am glad I picked St. Johns College High School as a school that will allow me to grow as a person and to challenge/strengthen me to the best person I can be. The mission statement of St. Johns connects with john the Baptist and his philosophy. SJC mission statement “is to provide a human and Christian education to young men and women from diverse socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds”. Going into my first year in St. Johns, I hope to excel in my academics and athletics. I wish to continue receiving straight A’s through hard work and dedication, and to be involved with St. Johns community. The classes I will be taking hope to challenge me and to make me academically stronger. I also wish to participate in clubs, such as model UN and Girl Up where I can discuss political issues around the world and connect with students as

    In The Bible Cause, John Fea explores the American Bible Society (ABS) and the plucky Christians who built and sustained it. Published to coincide with the ABS’s 2016 bicentennial, the book offers a chronological institutional history peppered with quotations from letters written by supporters (and occasionally critics) and tales from agents working across the United States and the globe. At its heart, this book argues that two motivating commitments have driven the history of the ABS. Since its founding in 1816, it has sustained a belief in the power of the Bible to lead people to salvation and has maintained a cultural mandate to build a Christian society in the United States and throughout the world.…

    At the age of 10, Jayber’s life had been turned upside down. His aunt Cordie died, and he had no other relatives, so he was placed in The Good Shepherd orphanage. While at the orphanage, Jayber felt that he had been called into the ministry. After being orphaned at such a young age with nowhere to call home, he may have been looking too hard for a place to fit in or a place that he belonged. This could have led him to believe that he had been called to preach. He started pre-ministry at Pigeonville College, but before long he had started questioning his own beliefs and found himself wandering around looking for answers and a place to call home.…

    Even though the Italians said the Gothic architecture is “barbaric” and should discontinue the style, surprisingly the style is still being constructed to this day. I chose the St. John the Divine because it has so much similarity to the Cathedral of Notre Dame, Paris. Even though the St. John the Divine is unfinished, it is a very big tourist attraction, just like the Cathedral of Notre Dame. They both have the whole gothic style look, such as the wheel windows, that you notice, almost always, first and stained glass windows. The only difference that is noticeably is how the Cathedral of Notre Dame has a different front look then St. John the Divine.…

    Aside from working as a successful business woman, Jean spent a majority of her time volunteering at the Cleveland Diocese Youth Ministry. Her focus was to correct the lives of the poverty-stricken and troubled youth. Jean was touched by her work and inspired to do more. The Youth Ministry was also where Jean first heard of her life changing missionary work. The objective: a diocesan mission project in El Salvador. The goal of the mission was to spread the gospel and mend the lives of the poor and broken. From the moment she heard of the incredible opportunity, she knew she was destined to fulfill the task. Jean accredited this feeling to her close relationship with God. “She claimed her decision to be "a gut feeling," and said, "I want to get closer to Him, and that's the only way I think I can"” (IRTF).…

    One clear similarity involving both the 1925 Baptist Faith and Message and 1963 Baptist Faith and Message is the preamble. Both architects took great care in wording the preamble content. Herschel Hobbs called the 1963 preamble "as important as any other part." In both the 1925 and 1963 the preamble clearly states the document is not a Southern Baptist creed and both chairmen were adamant about emphasizing that point. Both viewed their respective documents as a guide rather than a conscience authority.…

    The seas raged and it became all too clear that the small ship was immediately outmatched by the unyielding power of the wind and the waves. As the seas broke over the deck, John Wesley, an young Anglican minister on mission to the new world of North America, felt the overwhelming dread of panic and the cold sting of fear stab him straight through the heart. “How can this be?” thought the young man, “I am pursuing the Lord’s work and have given myself to reach those in the upstart colony of Georgia.” In hearing the cries of his fellow Englishmen, Wesley knew that they too, were experiencing the same panic and fears. These cries confirmed to all that the end was near and that all would be lost. At the same moment, above the cries, hymns, signing and praise rose from the nearby German Moravians. At that moment, Wesley was torn. He thought that he shared the same faith, but why did he sense fear, while they expressed hope?…
