Children ready for HRC Morals and Ethics classes, after school hours.

As the Begarly’s travel around America many people are confused about the human rights abuses in the third world countries. They often ask, “ How can someone even think that way”? The answer to that question many times is simply the foundation for their morals and ethics.

We in America are hard pressed to understand third world thinking simply because we have a government system that was founded upon the moral and ethical teachings of scripture. Our founding fathers understood that it is God who grants knowledge to man and the wisdom to glorify God with that knowledge through acts of loving kindness to his fellow man. We have learned that without Christ and the scriptures in the educational system we develop nothing more than smart unbelievers. When you travel into countries without this foundational heritage you find many times societies built upon the survival of the fittest or Totalitarian rule. This is how the animal kingdom operates and this is how humans operate without God and his moral and ethical teachings of scripture.

We believe that the scriptures of the Bible are Gods rule for right and wrong behavior for all humanity. This does not mean that all societies should adapt to a western culture but their culture adapt to the morals and ethics of the Bible. We believe that each culture should have the opportunity to choose Jesus Christ and his Moral and Ethical way of life. Christ’s standards are not one of many ways to live by; but is the only way handed down to man, by God himself, in which we as men must live if we are to expect the abundant life that Christ offered on this earth.

The Scholarship program exists to help students see from the scriptures that God has a way in which He expects his children to live upon this earth. This life laid out by the scriptures has benefits to reap now and on into eternity. Children are not pressured to become Christians or perform any religious duties. They simply attend the classes free of charge. The children stay after school so this does not interfere with the regular school program. The children take an examination every three months over the material they have been taught. Those who pass the examination receive a scholarship toward their secondary education. This happens three times a year in Grade Six and Seven. We feel it is important for people to see that these children are not receiving a hand out but they are earning their scholarships. They earn them by staying after school for the classes, studying the material and taking the examinations. This is not a hand out; it is an opportunity created for people to better themselves. These scholarship funds are held in an account for each student and are paid on behalf of each student at the beginning of each term to each school that participates in the program. At the present time the Scholarship program is active in three rural schools and two schools in the small town of Chinhoyi where we serve about three hundred and fifty students per week through this program.

In addition to the Scholarship program the students in the five participating schools in Grade Six and Seven have the opportunity to attend a four night stay at the Hunnington Retreat Center.

Where we seek to know Christ and make him known.

During their stay at HRC a Christian atmosphere and quality time is provided each school Holiday throughout the year. These days are filed with sport competition, lectures, Bible lesson, and dramas in an environment conducive for the youth and their age group. When we as Christians learn that our profession of faith in God is recognized by the world, only when we have acts of kindness toward the development of our fellow man, then we will see the world take notice. You can truly make a difference in the life of a child. Have you ask God, “God, what would you have me to do?” When you get the answer, for the love of Christ and His Children, Do it. It could be that we are a part of the answer.
