Dear Reader,
Thank you for taking the time to read The Renewanation Review.
In this magazine, you will learn more about our vision and
passion to give millions of new students a Christian worldview
education. We are totally convinced that if we reach enough
children with the truth of God’s Word, we can renew the broken
culture that surrounds us.
As I think about the children whose lives are being impacted
by our ministry, I can’t help but think of Leonardo. This son of
immigrant parents attends a Christian school in Florida. His
parents are so committed to his Christian education that they
work a total of four jobs. They do not have a car, but they find
a way to drop Leonardo off at 6 am each morning and pick him
up at 6 pm. As hard as these parents are working, it is still a great
struggle to pay for Leonardo’s Christian education. Thanks to a partner of Renewanation, we have been able to provide
this beautiful family with tuition assistance. I wish you could have been with me when I gave Leonardo’s parents a
$2,000 scholarship in front of their church family. They were beyond grateful, and his mother couldn’t stop crying. In
the years to come, we believe God is going to provide thousands upon thousands of these scholarships with your help.
I invite you to read every article in this magazine. Open your heart and ask the Lord how you are to respond. If you are
a parent of a school-aged child, we pray you will seriously consider whether or not your child is developing a Christian
worldview. If you are working to give students a Christian worldview, we pray that you will be encouraged to keep the
faith and work on. If you are not yet connected to the great cause of giving children a Christian worldview, we pray that
you will determine to get involved in some way. Together, we can change the lives of millions of kids and in the process
change the heart of our nation.
Renewing our nation, one child at a time,
