RECAPS FALL 2014
Songwriter/artist Chris Tomlin says it plainly. “Be the moon!” Reflect the light of the sun. Reflect the light of the Son! In August, we set out to intentionally reflect the glory of the Lord in every aspect of what we do. We hope that in this newsletter you will sense His reflection. The Scriptures speak clearly: “Whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.” (Col 3:17) Our autumn newsletter is a testimony to our obedience. Fall has peaked, and we prepare ourselves for winter. The beauty of this seasonal shift is the hinge of the Thanksgiving holiday. As I survey this newsletter, I give thanks for our scholars, our artists, our athletes, our alumni, our activities, our faculty, and YOU, our avid partners. Let’s link arms and march forward into the new coming year with our shine on – like the moon, a full moon!

omecoming 2014 was a fun filled week of activities in Warriorville. Dr. Seuss was the theme and everything from the hallways to the parade floats reflected “Green Eggs and Ham”, “A Cat in the Hat” and many other Dr. Seuss titles. Spirit week students dressed up for Pajama Day, Cowboys vs Aliens Day, Survivor Day, Favorite Movie and Dr. Seuss Day. Friday afternoon festivities began with a parade as students, teachers, parents and grandparents lined the campus to see the Dr. Seuss themed floats and homecoming maid procession. Bailey White, Grace Spangler, Abby Vanderford, Ashlyn Quickel, Anna Leigh Rhodes, Ashley Worden, Abigail Nowell, Anna Margaret Fischer and Anna Perry (pictured above left to right) represented their classes as the 2014 homecoming maids.

a Pep Rally where the band and spirit squads performed to prepare the student body for the football game. Later that afternoon kids of all ages rolled out to Warrior Grove for some pregame Trick or Treating and tailgating festivities. The costumed Warriors made their way from tent to tent collecting candy and eating Warrior burgers. The homecoming court was escorted onto the field by family members prior to the game, and Ashlyn Quickel was crowned the 2014 homecoming queen. The Warriors then took on the Morrilton Devil Dogs and played in an exciting game that lead to overtime victory! The Warriors made the most of Halloween and Homecoming colliding. Homecoming 2014 was an amazing week that will be remembered for years to come!

A LUMN I STORY
Kristen Vaughan Class of 2008
K
risten Vaughan recently returned from a two year missionary adventure in South Asia. LRCA caught up with her to ask a few questions before this amazing young lady starts her next adventure.
LRCA: How did LRCA prepare you for your higher education? Kristen: LRCA taught me how to study, read, and write, which put me steps ahead of many of my classmates. I went to Ouachita Baptist University and double majored in Spanish and Christian Studies. The majority of my assignments in the Christian Studies department involved reading and writing. My high school Pre-AP English classes were tough, and the teacher encouraged us to write concisely, efficiently and clearly. When I was challenged in college with analytical papers, I was thankful I had been taught good grammar skills so I could focus on content instead of being drained by grammatical issues. LRCA: Did you have a teacher in high school that impacted your career choice? Kristen: Mrs. Rosemary Parker was one of the most impactful teachers on my life. She loved all her art students and would do anything to help us develop our talent. In tenth grade, I did my first oil painting in her class and I have been selling paintings ever since. I credit Mrs. Parker for exposing me to the art world at a young age. As I started selling my work, she gave me business tips and was always a fun person with whom to paint. I continued painting in college and had the opportunity to teach painting in Brazil and South Asia. In most cases, art was a way to connect with people who I would not have met otherwise. LRCA: What are some of your favorite high school memories? 12
THE WARRIOR • FALL 2014
Kristen: One of my favorite high school memories was playing varsity soccer. We spent hours together every week–in all kinds of weather–and saw how our practices paid off in games. The friendships I built with girls older and younger than me will always be special. I am thankful for coaches who pushed us to excellence and who truly cared about the people we were becoming. Our three state final competitions were definitely a highlight. LRCA: Please tell us about your International work and your future plans. Kristen: God started to draw my heart to the nations while I was in high school. I traveled every summer to Brazil with my church (Immanuel Baptist Church) and convinced myself I could become a missionary. Once I got to OBU, I chose Christian Studies because I knew missions was the direction God was leading me. I spent a semester in Brazil assisting with the same ministry I had served in high school. Our main focus was a slum area where a local church had built a community center to draw in kids and families who needed the hope of Christ. When I returned and reflected on my experience, even though there were ups and down, God's call on my heart was still the same. After I graduated in 2012, I applied through my church to work with our International Mission Board partners. I knew God was saying, "Go!" but I never expected him to shove me through the door to South Asia. I spent two years in a mega city working with a team of missionaries. Our team was committed to making friends, sharing Christ with the lost, and mobilizing the local church to reach their own country. In the Spring I will pursue a Masters of Arts in Missiology at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary with the intent of applying as a long term missionary with the IMB.
A LUMN I STORY
Dr. David Rainwater Class of 2003
A
fter graduating from LRCA in 2003 David moved to Fayetteville to attend the University of Arkansas. From there, he graduated in 2008 with a BS in Biological Engineering, and moved to Fairway, Kansas to attend the University of Missouri-Kansas City Dental School. Following graduation, he completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency. David is now a general dentist and is married and raising a family right here in Little Rock. He recently took a few minutes out of his busy life to talk to us about how his experiences at Little Rock Christian Academy led him to where he is today. LRCA: How did LRCA prepare you for your higher education? David: LRCA prepared me well for higher education. I felt ready for college, especially for the research and writing aspects of the work. Throughout high school, it seemed as though I had a paper due every week in Worldview, Literature or English class. This helped me tremendously in many classes during college. Overall, I knew how to study. I had learned the time it takes to get good grades because LRCA had pushed me to work hard and efficiently in high school. LRCA: Do you have a favorite high school memory? David: I was lucky enough to play on the first football team at LRCA. Three other seniors and I were the team captains. We made it to the playoffs, and despite defeat, the experience was a huge success. We had the support and excitement of the school behind us, and everyone was pulling for us. It was a turning point for LRCA, and I am still proud to have been a part of it. LRCA: What impact did LRCA have on your spirituality? David: As a lifelong student of Walnut Valley, and then LRCA, I was in Biblical Worldview all my life. I certainly learned the content
of the Bible from home, church and school, but the education of high school worldview brought a new dimension to my faith that continues to be foundational to me. Through these classes in high school, we learned about the compilation of the Canon of Scripture. We studied the different time periods of how people thought, and compared different belief systems and other religions. All this reinforced my belief in the truth of God's Word. The term "worldview" is key to my faith and has provided a tangible process to evaluate my decisions and how I live my life. Having a gospelcentered worldview allows me to live in light of who Jesus is and what he has done for me. LRCA: Tell us a little about your family. David: My wife Rachel is also a native of Little Rock and we married in 2008 following college. We grew up at Immanuel Baptist Church together, and were high school sweethearts. Rachel taught second grade at a Christian school in Kansas City, but now stays home with our daughter, Abigail. We are expecting again in March, and will have another girl! I am blessed beyond words with these three girls in my life. LRCA: Tell us about your move back to Little Rock and your new dental practice. David: Rachel and I moved back home in June of 2013. We love being close to family and friends. My practice, Centre@10 Dental Group,is located in the office building to the west of Sam Peck on Cantrell Road (better known as being in the same parking lot as Starbucks and Larry's Pizza). I am a general dentist and see patients ranging from children to adults. We have a wonderful facility and a great staff that is ready to help serve our patients. If you need a dentist, I would love to see you! THE WARRIOR • FALL 2014

Murder’s in the Heir
T
he high school drama department entertained a full house of friends and family with their unique and hilarious murder mystery. Attendees enjoyed dinner first and were served by students “in character” before they took the stage. Almost every character in this mystery had the weapon, opportunity and motive to commit the unseen murder. At intermission the audience was served dessert and voted on who they thought “did it”. The play was a huge success as all the students created memorable characters.

Buck & Jennifer James Welcome to the Warrior Family
L
ast summer Coach Buck James, his wife Jennifer and their children moved from Camden, Arkansas to Little Rock to join the Warrior Family. Little Rock Christian Academy hired Coach James as an offensive line coach and Assistant Athletic Director. James brings over twenty-five years of coaching experience, including nine years as Camden Fairview High School head football coach (2005-2013) where he compiled a 131-43 record while earning the 5A Southwest Football Coach of the Year six times, Conference Coach of the Year nineteen times and Hooten’s Coach of the Year in 2012. Jennifer James also joined the Little Rock Christian faculty. Mrs. James has over fifteen years of teaching experience and led the Future Farmers of America program. She is teaching Biology and will developing horticulture program for LRCA. The James’ oldest son Mckinze is a sophomore at Missouri State University where he is studying Physical Education and History. Mckinze was also a football letterman as a red shirt freshman at MSU. Their son Ty Johnson is a 7th grader at LRCA and enjoyed playing offensive and defensive line for the 7th grade Warrior football team this fall and is wrestling this winter. Their daughter, Grayson Johnson is a 4th grader at LRCA and is participating in the Warrior Elementary basketball program. And finally, the youngest in the family is kindergartener Major James.

greater at LRCA for our entire family. It’s more than just a school. Our children’s needs and expectations are being met. The positive environment and the Christian education are so beneficial. We feel blessed to be here. LRCA: Coach James, what is your favorite thing about coaching at LRCA? Coach James: I really enjoyed the young men I coached this year. They were a fun group to coach and very hard working. They improved throughout the year and played with great heart and effort. Friday night lights at LRCA are special. My professional goals at LRCA are for our team to win conference and state championships. LRCA: Mrs. James, what has been your favorite part about teaching at LRCA? Mrs. James: The greatest thing about teaching at LRCA is the relationships between faculty and students. It’s such a blessing to come to work and be around an amazing group of professionals that care about you. The students are eager to please and willing to work hard. The opportunity to teach and be a part of this positive environment is truly a blessing. LRCA: What have you learned from this move? James’: Change is never easy, but is sometimes necessary. The change was necessary for our children to fulfill their potential spiritually and educationally. LRCA is a wonderful place to educate our children, witness, and be a part of. The chapel services are encouraging, the students are so talented, and the opportunity to share and hear God’s Word while at school is a unique experience that we treasure for ourselves and our children. LRCA is what school is supposed to be. We have been blessed to do what we love and to give our children a place to SHINE!

Can we talk about giving to the LRCA Annual Fund? I guess I don’t have a choice since you’ll just keep asking ☺
F
Funny and true ☺ So, why such a focus on the Annual Fund?
F
Well all great schools need a strong annual fund to grow academic, arts and athletic programs since tuition only covers the essentials. Is that all the fund does? Seems like I’ve heard it helps families with real needs.
F
Yes, you’re right! It provides thousands of dollars to families who want an LRCA education but might not be able to afford it or are facing a hardship. Cool. What about our teachers?
F
Them too. It allows for increased professional development and curriculum resources that wouldn’t be available otherwise. Fantastic. Why not just ask a big foundation for the money?
F
Well, we want to but we must show strong parent support numbers before they will consider LRCA. Ok! I’m on board. But, I can’t give a ton of $$
F
Thanks! Every gift matters. We get gifts in all amounts!

ANNUAL FUND
hine like Stars! As a school community we are called from Isaiah 60:1 to shine for all to see, for the glory of Christ. A quick glance around campus will show you many examples of His shining stars.
In the classroom our students and teachers are aiming for excellence every day. On the fields or in the gymnasiums our athletic teams are competing at the very highest levels. The fine arts department is once again demonstrating why it shines brightly as one of the best in the state. Beyond academics, arts and athletics we see families coming to Little Rock Christian to be a part of a school committed to biblical truth, the pursuit of excellence, love for our students and partnerships with families, churches and the community. For all these things we are so blessed. We hope and pray we shine for His glory! As we race toward the end of another calendar year we are focusing most of our advancement efforts on ending 2014 with a strong Annual Fund push. Tuition covers the cost to educate a child. Nothing more. In order to continually improve on our Blue Ribbon school we rely on contributions to the Annual Fund from our partners in Christian collegiate education. Participation from a majority of current school families is a vital component of any Annual Fund. Strong participation levels demonstrate to external charitable organizations that our families believe in the mission and future of the school. We are off to a strong start thanks to those who have partnered with us this fall. If we increase our participation we have a fantastic opportunity to reach our monetary goal. Would you please consider making a year-end gift to help increase our participation and achieve our $500,000 goal? You can give in a variety of tax-wise ways since we are a 501(c) 3 not-for-profit organization. If you have any questions please contact Jason Carson, Cindy McLeod or Tasha Shew in the Advancement office at 501-868-9822.
