The Seven Pillars of Renewanation Development INFORMED & COMMITTED PARENTS - Parents are the primary guardians of their children (Proverbs 22:6). As more parents better under- stand the worldview battle that is taking place in our schools and commit to providing their children with a Christian worldview education, we will move closer to fulfilling the mission of Renewanation. Informed and committed parents will provide millions of new students a Christian worldview through the ministries of Christian schools, homeschools, or ministries reaching public school students. CHURCHES - The local church is central to our vision. We are eager to help churches better understand the need for and power of weekday Christian education for their families. We encourage every local church to support a local Christian school, provide support to homeschooling families, and support or lead a ministry that gives Christian worldview train- ing to public school students. CHRISTIAN COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES - Beyond the scholarships that Renewanation has been blessed to receive for our affiliate school graduates, we are developing other strategic partnerships with Christian colleges and universities. We promote Christian world- view education at every level and encourage students to benefit from the offerings available through Christian colleges and universities. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 As more people, parents, churches, businesses, and legislators see the great value of K-12, Christian education, the vision of Renewanation will become a reality in one city after another, and a true revolution in education will take place. As this happens, America will be impacted in a powerful and transformational way. INDIVIDUAL SUPPORTERS - God is raising up an army of men and women who believe in the vision of Renewanation. These men and women are giving their wealth, wisdom, and work because they believe that the real hope for America lies in training the next generation with a Christian worldview. AFFILIATE SCHOOLS - Schools across America are becoming Renewanation affiliates. These schools are committed to promoting a biblical worldview in their students and community. It is our goal to help these schools maximize their potential, whether they are strong established schools, struggling schools, or new start-ups. Affiliate schools receive all the benefits of being connected to one of the most effective and passionate proponents of Christian worldview education in America. BUSINESSES - If we are going to reach millions of new students with Christian worldview education, Christian owned businesses must make it a part of their mission. Like churches, businesses must realize the urgency of this mission and become a great source of revenue for ministries providing Christian worldview education to the children of their communities. They can also be centers to mentor and help in the development of student character and work skills. LEGISLATION - We encourage legislation that aligns with biblical principles, is pro-family, and pro-school choice. Two areas of focus are tax credits for tuition to private schools and laws that protect parental rights. States stretch their budget dollars and increase the quality of education when they provide pro-family and pro-school choice initiatives. 25
