00:01 Hello, friends, welcome back to the second interview
00:03 that I alluded to 00:04 in the beginning of the program. 00:06 We're going to be talking to the principal 00:07 of the Ouachita Hills Academy right now, 00:10 Mrs. Harriet Clark. 00:11 Mrs. Clark, are you there? 00:14 I'm here. Yes. 00:16 Welcome to the second half of the program 00:19 as we are highlighting the college 00:21 and the academy together, 00:23 and I heard the name Harriet Clark. 00:26 And Pastor Shin in the first interview 00:28 talked about the Clarks 00:30 starting Ouachita Hills, the campus. 00:33 Are you that Mrs. Clark 00:35 that was a part of the beginning 00:37 of Ouachita Hills? 00:39 Yes, I am. Yes. 00:41 Praise the Lord for such impacting school 00:43 on the lives of students. 00:45 And I recognize that Pastor Shin 00:46 is a returning student. 00:48 He's now giving back at the very place 00:51 that he found the Lord as a student. 00:53 Give our viewers and listeners an overview 00:56 of how Ouachita Hills Academy and College got started, 01:00 the vision that the Lord gave to you and your husband? 01:05 When we finished our education, 01:07 we had really wanted to do mission service 01:09 and my husband was too heavily in debt 01:11 to do that. 01:13 And we looked for a mission, a home mission. 01:17 We were impressed that so many of the youth 01:20 that we gone to school with 01:22 were no longer walking with the Lord. 01:24 And we were really saddened about that. 01:25 And we thought if there was a school 01:28 that could help them young people see 01:32 how wonderful the Lord is in His counsel 01:35 and in a relationship with Him 01:37 that maybe that would make a difference. 01:39 And we read Madison, 01:40 God's beautiful farm about that time. 01:42 And we thought, 01:43 if the Lord opened the way 01:45 that was what we were going to do, 01:47 and that is just a brief of how it started. 01:51 And what year did you begin the Ouachita Hills? 01:55 Which one started first, the academy or the college? 01:59 The academy started first in 1988 02:02 and then the college followed in 2003. 02:05 Wow. Praise the Lord. 02:06 So if I'm counting that well, 02:08 Pastor Shin was a part of that process there. 02:11 And it, I want to just say... Yes, he was. 02:14 I want to just say thank you for the impact 02:16 because I've met other students in the past 02:18 that have gone to Ouachita Hills 02:20 and they have given wonderful comments 02:23 about the impact of the environment, 02:27 and how the Lord has transformed them 02:30 and equipped them for education, 02:32 but also getting to know Him personally. 02:35 Now what's the size, 02:37 the general size of the campus? 02:39 I mean, how many acres would you say the college 02:41 and the academy are located on? 02:45 The main campus has 430 acres. 02:48 And then we have a health center 02:51 that has 52 acres, 02:52 which is located about half a mile from us, 02:55 the main campus. 02:58 That's amazing. I mean, that's huge. 03:00 That's... 03:02 If you think about some of the things 03:03 that are offered there, 03:06 do you have an agriculture program? 03:08 That's just came to my mind when you think 03:09 about all of that acreage. 03:10 Yes. Wow. 03:12 Is that something for the academy 03:13 as well as the college students? 03:15 It is for both. 03:17 In fact, agriculture is so important. 03:19 We believe that all of our students 03:22 in the academy have to take a class in it to graduate. 03:25 Hmm. That's wonderful. 03:27 Speaking of students, 03:28 you have two wonderful students 03:30 there with you today, 03:31 Emmily Ndege and Rafael Morales. 03:34 Let's just go and say hello to them today. 03:36 Good to have you both on the program today. 03:37 Yeah. 03:39 So let's start with Rafael since he's right close to you. 03:42 Hello, Rafael, how are you today? 03:44 I'm doing good. How are you? Good. 03:46 Tell us about what, 03:48 at what point are you at Ouachita Hills. 03:50 This is your second year, third year, beginning student? 03:55 So this is my first year here, 03:56 but I am a sophomore in my second year. 03:59 Okay. And yeah. 04:01 What impressed you to come to Ouachita Hills? 04:05 So I've lived around, around this area, 04:08 you know, of Ouachita School 04:10 and I've known it for quite a while, 04:11 but I was impressed with like 04:14 the spiritual environment that they always had. 04:16 You know, I just see, like, 04:17 when I came here to visit all the students were, 04:20 they just had like a more spiritual like mentality 04:24 about how they look at things here. 04:27 And it just really impressed me 04:28 because I wanna, you know, 04:30 seek a closer walk with God, you know? 04:32 And that's just this school 04:34 I saw as one of that would help me. 04:36 Okay. Wow. Thank you for that. 04:37 We'll come back to you in a moment, but Emmily Ndege. 04:40 Am I saying that correctly, Emily? 04:43 Yeah. Yes. 04:44 Tell us where you're from. 04:45 I think I asked you that, 04:47 but I want our viewers and listeners to know that. 04:48 Give us some of your background 04:50 and also I'll ask you a question just a moment 04:52 of what made you choose Ouachita Hills. 04:55 Let's start with where you're from, 04:56 where that name is from 04:58 'cause that's a very unique name? 05:00 Oh, yeah. It's a Kenyan name. 05:03 My parents were from 05:05 and I are from Kenya and I live in Minnesota though. 05:09 Okay. All right. 05:11 So you're Minnesota Kenyan. 05:14 Yeah. Yeah. 05:15 Yes. 05:17 And what are you focusing on at Ouachita Hills 05:18 and what impressed you to come there? 05:22 Yeah, that's a good question. 05:25 At first, when my parents, 05:27 my parents are the ones who heard about the school 05:30 and they were really impressed with the program here 05:33 and they told me about it. 05:35 At first, I wasn't really sure, 05:37 but after, you know, coming here, 05:40 I realized that this is just such an amazing place. 05:43 I really enjoy the environment here. 05:45 Hmm. 05:47 Now, when I heard about the acreage just a moment ago, 05:51 Mrs. Harriet Clark mentioned 05:53 400 acres, plus another 52 acres. 05:56 That's dedicated to another one 05:57 of the facilities there. 06:00 Talk about the interaction you have with the students. 06:04 Let's start with a day, a day in the life of Emmily. 06:08 Let's keep the microphone, a day in the life of Emmily. 06:10 So just walk, how does your day start 06:12 and what do you do to get your day going 06:15 on a regular basis? 06:18 Okay. Yeah. 06:19 So the day starts, wake up is at 5:45 06:24 and from 5:45 to 6:15 06:27 is devotion time where you can, 06:30 you know, study your Bible, pray, 06:33 something along those lines. 06:35 And then we have time, 06:37 so, you know, get ready for the day. 06:39 And at 6:45 is worship. 06:43 It's joint worship with the entire academy. 06:46 And then breakfast is at seven and school starts at 7:45 06:52 and we go till... 06:54 No, go ahead. You go to when? 06:57 We go for school till 12:10, and then there's lunch. 07:02 And at 1 o'clock we start our vocational activities. 07:06 And usually, you know, it depends on the day, 07:10 but around, it ends around four or five, 07:14 and then there's free time 07:15 or whatever music you joined into. 07:20 And then there's super at six. 07:22 And at 6:45 then there's a worship, 07:26 evening worship again. 07:27 And then at 7 o'clock there study hall 07:30 to work on your homework till nine, 07:32 and then, you know, 9:30 is when it's lights up. 07:36 Wow. You remember that very well. 07:39 What year are you in as a student 07:41 at Ouachita Hills? 07:43 Yeah, this is my third year here. 07:45 Okay. 07:46 So that has been ingrained in you. 07:48 I could see that, 07:49 you got that calendar in your head. 07:51 This is and you've mentioned the times 07:53 and how long they are. 07:55 You have your individual worship, 07:57 then you have corporate worship, 07:59 then you have breakfast. 08:01 What time of day or at what point? 08:03 Let me ask Rafael about the, 08:06 some of the curriculum. 08:07 Rafael, talk about the agriculture part 08:11 because Mrs. Clark mentioned 08:13 that they look at that as so important. 08:16 Have you gotten involved in the agriculture part 08:19 of the program there yet 08:21 at Ouachita Hills Academy? 08:23 Yes, I have. 08:24 As like, for this year, my work, 08:28 vocational area is actually ag. 08:30 So I spend most of my time there. 08:32 And so, you know, 1 o'clock, 08:34 I'll head down to the agriculture shop 08:36 and we'll sign in for work. 08:37 And the agriculture leader, 08:40 he'll tell us what is on the schedule. 08:42 It could vary from greenhouse weeding 08:44 to outside planting, things in the field 08:47 or, you know, sometimes it would be splitting wood, 08:49 'cause we have wood heated stuff 08:50 and we go in the woods 08:52 and we split our wood, we pile it. 08:53 And then other days we'll loading it 08:55 and bringing it in for the rest of the school 08:58 to be able to use. 09:00 And you know, it's just vigorating, 09:03 vigorous work and 09:04 it strengthens you physically 09:07 and also clears out your brain 09:08 for, you know, you be able to do other things 09:10 and like mental, you know? 09:12 Okay. We've talked... 09:13 It's very good like... 09:15 Go ahead, fetch your thought. It's very good like? 09:18 I just said is, you know, it's very good like it's, 09:22 it's just very, like, I don't know it... 09:25 Invigorating? It helps you. 09:27 Yeah. Yeah. 09:29 Which part of that do you like most, 09:31 because in agriculture, 09:32 you talked about the greenhouse 09:34 which is obviously plants on the inside 09:38 during the cold season 09:39 and then the cutting of the wood. 09:40 I'm going to ask you a kind of 09:42 a tongue-in-cheek question. 09:43 Which one do you like more, 09:44 the greenhouse or cutting wood? 09:47 Well, it depends on the weather. 09:51 If it is humid outside, 09:53 it's kind of very humid in the greenhouse. 09:56 So I like prefer, I prefer to work outside 09:58 and I really like splitting wood. 09:59 It's really amazing, 10:01 especially when there's amazing weather. 10:02 And in the cold, 10:04 I think I kind of want to be in the greenhouse 10:05 where I could spend the afternoon 10:07 in a warm environment. 10:08 Wow. 10:09 Mrs. Clark, I'm going to ask you 10:11 a question there, 10:12 because you've seen this school develop, 10:14 you have seen the academy grow. 10:16 Tell me what excites you, 10:19 because this started in 1988, here we are 2021. 10:24 What keeps you driven 10:26 to continue to keep this whole campus 10:30 going from year to year? 10:34 I think there's probably two primary things. 10:37 I think seeing how the Lord provides 10:40 and opens doors 10:41 and really works miracles sometime, 10:44 and also seeing students like David 10:47 who graduated and while he was here. 10:51 And then after that grew so much in the Lord 10:53 that has been able to really be a servant leader. 10:59 And our goal is to help develop in students 11:03 that kind of mentality, 11:05 that kind of relationship with the Lord 11:07 that they'll go wherever He wants them to go 11:09 and do whatever He wants them to do. 11:11 And as we see students doing that, 11:15 it just gives me new renewed energy 11:19 and desire to keep on. 11:21 I'm sure, 11:22 and I'm thinking about this in the real sixth sense. 11:25 There is probably some heart 11:28 connected to the development of the student of the school. 11:31 I guess at graduation, 11:33 maybe sometimes you shed a tear 11:35 when you see what God has done through your life 11:37 and your husband's life. 11:39 Has that ever been the experience? 11:41 Yes, it has. 11:43 And, to see how many students 11:46 does the campus hold relatively? 11:54 We have had as many as 54 11:58 in the academy that was with, 12:04 you know, several staff children 12:05 who lived at home. 12:06 Yes. 12:08 The college we've had as many as 75. 12:10 So we could have 12:14 around a hundred students at this point. 12:16 And as we build more college dorms, 12:18 we'll have more space. 12:20 Wow. That's good. 12:21 I mean, that's a wonderful campus. 12:22 Though it's intended to be small. 12:25 We really built for 20 in each dorm 12:29 because we want to be able to impact 12:32 students for Christ. 12:34 And if we get too many students at teenagers, 12:37 it's harder to do that. 12:39 So we never want the academy to be very large. 12:43 That's a good point because the more, 12:45 some people say the more the merrier, 12:47 but the more the students, the harder it is 12:48 to concentrate 12:49 on personal development of the students. 12:51 It's very true. It's very difficult. 12:53 So talk about the interpersonal relationships. 12:55 Let me go ahead and ask Rafael and Emmily 12:58 because they are not only in the academy, 13:00 but you're building relationships. 13:02 I know when I look back at my schooling, 13:04 I can remember when I graduated. 13:06 We have some friends that are still friends 13:07 to this very day. 13:09 Talk about your interpersonal relationships 13:11 with other students? 13:14 Go ahead, Rafael. Okay. 13:16 So when I came here, 13:18 I noticed how all the students were very friendly. 13:20 Like they just kinda, you know, 13:23 brought you into their groups and started the conversation. 13:26 You know, they didn't let you just sit there by yourself 13:28 that they, you know, they involve you 13:30 and you tend to have a lot of, 13:33 lot more like 13:35 better relationships with people like that. 13:37 Because since the staff and the environment, 13:40 they encourage being nice and kind to other people, 13:45 you know, the students tend to go out of their way 13:47 to just try to involve someone 13:49 and know the person 13:50 and get to meet them and actually become friends. 13:53 And those friends, I think those, 13:56 you know, they'll last for a lot longer than just, 13:59 you know, just so happen or whatever, 14:01 you know, it, I don't know, 14:03 it's just a stronger relationship 14:04 because it's based on being kind to one another 14:07 and very friendly environment overall. 14:10 Amen. Emmily, what about you? 14:12 Cause I know that... 14:14 I know that prayer is very much a part 14:16 of a Christian campus. 14:18 Talk about the friendships you're developing 14:21 as you're looking forward to continuing 14:24 into your final year coming up pretty soon here? 14:28 Yeah, so the people here are so kind and so friendly. 14:35 I remember that, you know, when I first came here, 14:38 I was, it was a big shock 14:40 and, you know, I was kinda quiet. 14:42 I didn't really know what to do, 14:45 but the people here were so welcoming 14:47 and I just, I felt very welcome here, 14:52 and I'm so thankful for the godly students here. 14:56 I remember some groups of girls would go on prayer walks, 15:02 they would do early morning Bible studies 15:05 and that really made an impact on my life. 15:09 They had a big influence on me and yeah, it's really nice. 15:13 You meet friends here that 15:16 will help you to grow stronger in Christ. 15:18 Wow. 15:20 Now I know that, that's a beautiful environment. 15:22 What would you say? 15:24 And I'll give you any one of you an opportunity 15:26 to speak to this question. 15:27 What would you say your greatest challenge is 15:30 as a student at Ouachita Hills? 15:32 'Cause we all have 15:34 little challenges here and there. 15:35 Maybe it could be a curriculum challenge 15:37 or maybe it could be environmental challenge. 15:40 You'll say, well, I want to become stronger 15:41 in this area 15:43 or I'd like to know that a little better. 15:45 What would you say your challenge might be? 15:47 Let's start with curriculum. 15:48 What's your greatest challenge curriculum wise? 15:54 With academics, 15:57 learning the concepts here 15:59 is, you know, 16:01 you have to learn time management 16:04 and something... 16:06 Yeah, that's so, so crucial with the busy schedule. 16:11 So I would definitely say 16:12 learning to use your time wisely, 16:16 the time you have for homework learning, 16:18 how, which time to do which subject. 16:21 That's really important. 16:24 Okay. Rafael, what about you? 16:28 I would say, yeah, similar to that too is, 16:30 you know, just the self-government 16:32 and anything you do, like even your free time, 16:35 she kind of touched on that, you know, 16:37 you have your free time 16:39 and you could either use that to go do an activity 16:41 that you want for recreation, or you can do homework 16:44 and, you know, finish it. 16:45 And even when you decide to go do your homework, 16:48 you could either divide it into time to, you know, 16:52 I'll do, in the first 30 minutes, 16:53 I'll do English and then the next 16:56 and you know, and so on. 16:57 But it's like, they encourage you in the time 17:01 where you're supposed to go somewhere to, 17:03 or they already have your time set out. 17:05 And then they give you freedom of like the free time for you 17:09 to be able to divide that and practice that in your life. 17:11 And that's something that is also like, 17:13 you know, that's the challenge 17:15 because, you know, usually homes 17:18 are not too much like that schedule anymore. 17:21 And when you come here, it's kinda prepares you for, 17:24 you know, when you go out into the real world, 17:26 the schedule is not tuning in all the time. 17:28 That's true. 17:30 I like the word you used the phrase self government. 17:33 It's a really good phrase because right academy, 17:36 when you enter that academy 17:37 is another word for high school, 17:39 you use the word high school in the secular environment, 17:42 but it surely says to you, okay, we're getting you ready 17:45 to go to the next step. 17:47 So if you're going to be a responsible student, 17:49 this is the time as Emmily pointed out 17:52 to set up your day 17:53 so that you don't just slide from one thing to the next 17:56 and say, what should I do next? 17:58 But I like that. 17:59 I can almost imagine Emmily 18:01 that you probably have something in your room 18:02 where you say, okay, seven to eight, 18:04 eight to nine, nine to ten. 18:06 You kind of norm, or maybe right now, 18:08 it's just so ingrained in your mind 18:10 that you don't have to write those things down any longer, 18:13 but it's a process. 18:14 But how long did it take you to get 18:15 into the hang of getting these schedules together 18:20 when you came to Ouachita Hills? 18:24 It wasn't too bad. 18:28 Probably within the first few weeks. 18:32 Okay. 18:33 Let me ask another question to Mrs. Harriet. 18:36 When we talk about what makes 18:38 Ouachita Hills schooled different? 18:41 Because a lot of students might say, 18:43 and any one of the students could answer this too, 18:44 because it might be 18:46 from their experiential perspective, 18:47 what makes it different? 18:49 And the answer would kind of encourage 18:50 somebody looking for a school to say, 18:53 you know, I need to go there. 18:55 You talked about the size. I love that already. 18:57 It makes it easy to concentrate 18:58 on more of a relational aspect 19:01 than having any student, 19:02 whether they're outgoing 19:04 or maybe they could be introvert or extrovert. 19:07 They don't feel that they're overlooked, 19:09 but in recommending this school to someone, 19:13 what would you say to a student 19:14 that's listening to the program? 19:20 I think that it's a special place 19:24 of nurturing of students 19:27 who want to grow in the Lord 19:29 while they develop their academic skills. 19:32 And while they develop vocational skills 19:34 and social skills. 19:37 We have great staff, student relations 19:41 and an environment out there in the country 19:46 and nature in touch with nature's got, 19:49 that brings students away from some of the distractions 19:54 that are in areas where in larger, 19:58 you know, communities in cities. 20:03 And administratively 20:07 everything that is planned. 20:12 We've tried to filter that 20:14 through the Lord's council on education. 20:16 Amen. 20:18 So that students have an advantage 20:22 in getting to know Jesus better 20:25 and I believe prepare better for service 20:31 when they graduate. 20:32 Amen. I like that. 20:33 And in addition, we have really strong academics. 20:37 We have a great music program. We have a missions program. 20:40 I mean, there are a lot of little factors 20:45 that feed in, 20:48 but I believe the filtering through the Lord's counsel 20:54 is what impacts the program the most, 20:58 that makes it of greater benefit to students. 21:02 Wonderful. 21:04 Let me go to Emmily real quickly here. 21:05 Emmily, if you talk about a conversion 21:10 that you might've experienced at the Ouachita Hills. 21:14 At what point did you say, you know what? 21:17 Now I see, and I'm glad that I came to this school. 21:22 Did you have that light coming on moment 21:25 in your time at Ouachita Hills? 21:28 Yeah, definitely. 21:30 The first semester at first, 21:31 it was kind of, you know, kind of rough, 21:34 and I think it was mainly 21:37 because of the mindset that I had. 21:39 So once I, you know, being here 21:43 and just being in this environment, 21:45 once I learned that, learned to, 21:48 you know, change the way I think about things and have, 21:50 you know, a positive attitude, 21:53 that's when things definitely started changing 21:55 and I learned to appreciate this place. 21:58 Okay. Praise the Lord for that. 21:59 What about you, Rafael? 22:01 Well, I know, this is your first year there. 22:05 Tell us about that, where you said, okay. 22:07 I'm so glad I'm here. 22:08 I know you talked about the nice people, 22:11 the great environment, 22:12 but personally in your time with the Lord, 22:15 how with, how have you come 22:17 to appreciate being at Ouachita Hills? 22:21 So I live fairly close to this area 22:26 for quite some years, 22:28 you know, I've been involved too. 22:29 You've seen it from the outside and wanting, 22:32 I just seen already the spiritual environment 22:34 from the outside. 22:36 I want it to be a part of the environment, 22:38 you know, I want to be inside of it. 22:40 So, where I could actually grow my relationship. 22:42 And I knew that I, 22:43 they were already helping me out 22:45 with my relationship 22:46 from where I was outside of the school. 22:48 And I wanted to come here 22:50 and, you know, be a part of the school. 22:52 And I just felt really impressed, 22:54 you know, that would actually help my, 22:57 enhance my spiritual relationship 22:58 with God. 22:59 I love that. 23:01 What I hear you saying is, 23:02 you were looking at Ouachita Hills over the wall 23:04 and you were seeing it in the community 23:07 and you were just probably counting, man, 23:09 when am I going to get to go to that school? 23:11 Because if it's changing my life from the outside, 23:14 what is it going to do to my life 23:15 when I got on the inside? 23:17 Emmily, tell students listening to the program, 23:20 what would you say to that young man, 23:21 that young lady, 23:23 if they're thinking about coming to Ouachita Hills, 23:25 or they're even considering school in general? 23:28 What would you say to that person to say, 23:30 this is the place that you need to be? 23:34 Yeah. 23:36 Well, I would definitely recommend 23:38 this school, 23:40 just continue to pray about, 23:42 you know, where the Lord is leading, 23:44 but this school, as you know, really impacted me personally. 23:49 And I'm sure it can impact everyone out there 23:53 and just try it out. 23:55 Amen, I like that. And what about you, Rafael? 24:00 I think for you, if you want to grow 24:03 closer to God in a school, 24:05 and I think that this would be the school that would really, 24:07 you know, encourage and focus on your relationship with God 24:10 above, like all everything else. 24:12 And it's also, 24:14 if you want to be prepared for life 24:17 and with a relationship with God 24:18 throughout the whole, the whole time. 24:20 I also think that this would be an awesome place for you. 24:23 It's helped me a lot in the same. 24:24 Thank you, Rafael. Thank you, Emmily. 24:26 Mrs. Clark, just give us an idea 24:28 of what the cost is to be in the academy. 24:32 What the tuition costs are, just briefly? 24:36 Tuition, room and board comes to a little over 10,000 a year. 24:42 Okay. That's wonderful. It's very affordable. 24:44 And when you compare on campus living 24:48 to on campus living in a lot of other schools, 24:51 believe me, I know that that figure is very low 24:53 because I could go back 20 years or so 24:54 raising nieces and nephews 24:56 and understand that comparatively 24:57 that's a tremendous blessing. 24:59 Thank you so much, Emmily. Thank you so much, Rafael. 25:02 Thank you so much, Mrs. Clark, 25:03 for joining us in this wonderful segment. 25:05 The information that you're going to need 25:07 to find out more about the academy 25:10 is going to be on the screen in just a moment. 25:11 But right after that, we're going to have 25:13 a few closing thoughts. 25:14 I'll be right back. 25:18 If you would like to contact or learn more about 25:20 Ouachita Hills Academy, 25:22 you can write to them at 46 Madison Way, 25:25 Amity, Arkansas 71921. 25:29 That's 46 Madison Way, Amity, Arkansas 79121. 25:35 You can call them at (870) 342-6210. 25:39 That's (870) 342-6210. 25:43 Or you can find them online and OuachitaHillsAcademy.org 25:47 That's 25:48 OuachitaHillsAcademy.org 26:02 Well, friends, thank you for joining us today 26:03 on our program. 26:05 I want to give Pastor David Shin 26:07 as well as Mrs. Harriet Clark, 26:08 a chance to appeal to you 26:10 if you're considering an academy or a college. 26:13 Are you both there? 26:16 Yes.
