spite of those facts, we saw our Christian education effort
transform the hearts and minds of our young people.
Yes, we had students fall into sin, and we had rebellious
students. There were students who disrespected their teach-
ers on occasion, and we had to expel some students. We also
had to work hard to mold and shape their character.
In spite of the challenges, we saw hundreds of students
come to know Christ and develop a Christ-centered, biblical
view of life.
I had the wonderful privilege of speaking at the bacca-
laureate service for the Parkway Christian Academy class of
2015. This class is very special to me because six of these
students had been at PCA from the very first day we opened
the school. They were in our kindergarten class in 2002 and
were graduating after 13 years of study.
I am sure that none of them are perfect, but they are
sharp, well-trained, biblically literate, motivated young men
and women. They see the world through the lens of biblical
truth. I know they are going to make a significant difference
in this world.
This is what we dreamed of when God called us to get
involved in Christian education. Rather than these young
people having been indoctrinated from a non-biblical
perspective over the last 13 years and 16,000 hours of
schooling, they have been given the truth at every turn and
on every subject. Mission accomplished!
It was this experience, of seeing the day to day impact a
Christian school could have on the life of a child, that God
used to lead me to the vision of Renewanation.
Today, our team at Renewanation is totally committed to
giving millions of new children the same opportunity our
students at Parkway Christian Academy have received over
the last 13 years. We have seen first hand the huge difference
in thinking, attitude, and actions that a Christian educa-
tion brings to the life of a child. As we give more children
this life-changing opportunity, our country will slowly but
surely begin to return to the core, Christian values that will
give this generation a bright and hopeful future.
