Juergen had a bad attitude, and it caused him to be expelled from high school in Austria. Only a year before his scheduled graduation, Juergen was asked to leave school after receiving a failing grade for his behavior. Austrian public high schools graded on conduct, and he flunked because he had a problem with authority and Juergen and his parents went to Bogenhofen, a Seventh-day Adventist school campus. Coming from a non-religious family, Juergen was surprised to learn that this school encouraged students to develop a relationship with God. He didn’t really want to attend, but his father urged him to give it a try. Juergen agreed to stay. Although he could have entered the twelfth grade, he chose to repeat the eleventh grade. During his two years at the school, his life changed in many ways. Without even realizing it, he stopped eating pork and drinking alcohol. He wasn’t sure how it happened—it just did. Though he attended Bible classes, Juergen He found a Bible and, for the first time, read it from cover to cover. The experience left him with many questions, and he accepted a classmate’s offer to study the Bible together. The two young men began with the prophecies of Daniel. Juergen was amazed. He saw how all the dates aligned and that every prophecy— except those predicting the second coming of Jesus—had been fulfilled. Everything made sense. He thought, It was an easy next step to accept the existence of a Creator God. Even though his family wasn’t religious, he had never fully accepted evolution. He gave his heart to God and was baptized. Some relatives mocked Juergen when they learned he had become a Christian. They taunted him, asking whether he planned to live like a hermit or move to the countryside without electricity and electronics. But when they saw the change that Christ had brought to his life, their attitude changed. His father never regretted sending him to Bogenhofen, calling it the best decision of Juergen’s life. Today, Juergen’s mother is part of a Seventh-day Adventist Bible study group. Now 36 years old, Juergen is grateful he attended the Adventist school. “When I was a student, I didn’t realize what a privilege it was,” he said. “Now I do. I’m happy that I studied at Bogenhofen. It changed my life.”
