Partnerships for a Successful Future
Thank you for your interest in our foreign student program which was established
in 2003 by Pastor and Mrs. Anthony Seaton, principle founders of Victory Church of God and Victory Christian
Academy.
Coming from another culture is an experience that is not foreign to Pastor Seaton who journeyed from another country to the United States where he achieved a Master of Science degree in Counseling.
With a desire to give back to those who are responsible for the achievements in his life, he and his wife Barbara, who also has a Master of
Science degree in Education, ventured to create an avenue by which individuals
could achieve similar experiences.
Both mentoring and apprenticeship are required in every sphere of life for the development of character and a successful education. These afford us the opportunity to bring positive change to our
lives, schools, communities, nations and world.
This program provides young
people with the opportunity to meet people from
other lands, to experience their culture and plant seeds for a lifetime of
international understanding.
Students who participate in this program find that the exchange places them in
life-changing situations which challenge their thinking, expand their educational and personal experiences, and encourage them to take risks and reap the rewards of doing so.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Four facets of the program include:
CHARACTER, FAMILY, ACADEMICS and ATHLETICS.
CHARACTER
The most vital aspect of the program is Character Development.
Character is an issue that does not divide but brings unity which transcends race, religion, age, business, etc.
Developing character on every level deals with the following areas:
- Wisdom - Principles of life:
- There are significant principles which are essential for successful living.
Conflicts - Relationships affected by principles - When a principle of life is violated or neglected, breakdowns result in
basic relationships of life.
Decisions - Steps to correct violations - Breakdowns in life relationships can be traced to violation of principles
that can be corrected through clear and logical steps of action that are
required to reconstruct thinking and direction.
Projects - Instruction based on correction - Correction may produce an immediate solution, but further guidance of
discipline is essential to strengthen and reaffirm the importance of the steps
which were taken. MORE:
