Dear Reader,
Thank you for taking the time to read this issue of The Renewanation
Review. In this magazine, you will find a wide array of articles that
reinforce the importance of giving more children a biblical worldview
education. In our troubled nation today, there are more than four million
children who are receiving a K-12 Christian education. This unique
education is preparing these young people to take the light and hope of Christ into our hopeless and darkened world. At
Renewanation, it is our mission to increase the number of children who are receiving this type of education every year.
God is helping us to accomplish our mission!
One of our Renewanation board members, Dr. Glen Schultz, often says that when you get the church, family, and school
in alignment with God’s Word, a child has a remarkably high chance of giving their life to Christ and following Him
throughout their lifetime. As a pastor for many years, I witnessed this to be true. Often, when a child is going astray, one
or more of these three key elements is not teaching, practicing, or reinforcing God’s truth.
As parents, pastors, educators, and Christians in general, we must take very serious the instruction from God’s Word to
“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6). If the statistics
are right, we’ve lost close to 90% of those who are 15-35 years old today. Something has to change, and we believe the
most fundamental change and transformation will be experienced when we get back to educating millions of new
children from a biblical perspective. All the values that have made America such a special nation are found in a Christian
education.
As you read the articles found in this issue of The Renewanation Review, think about those in your circle of influence that
could benefit from this content. Give them this copy or contact [email protected] to order more copies for friends
and family. As we all work together to promote the opportunities that Christian worldview education brings to our
children and our nation, we will witness significant transformation.
