Spring Festival is Coming!
Festivities start at 12:00 noon on Fri, Apr 24. We highly recommend buying tickets in advance so you can
avoid long lines at the Festival. Advanced ticket orders must be received by Fri, April 10. Click here for the
Ticket Order Form to print.
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.

Praise & Prayer
Praise
• Our 5th-12th graders had the opportunity to be inspired by the testimony of the
Isaiev family from Ukraine as they shared in a special chapel today. 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!

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.

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!

Model United Nations
The ECA delegation worked really hard to participate in the Model United Nations at UNIANDES,
the University of Los Andes this weekend.
The delegation represented 2 Muslim countries, Syria and Jordan, and were under lots of pressure
to avoid a war with the west. They lobbied to find allies with other Muslim countries to protect
the sovereignty of their states. Overall, it was a fantastic experience for our 10 delegates. A special
thank you to Elle Carlson for her hard work preparing the students, to Johanna Reina for managing
all the logistics, and to Jake Carlson for helping chaperone the delegates.
Our next big event is Unisabana’s Model United Nations May 1-4.
