The RenewaNation Review 2016 Volume 8 Issue 2 | Page 7

F ounder’s Pen from the Dear Reader, Something new is in the air. We’re getting reports from many schools that enrollment is up this fall. People who have been uncertain about promoting Christian worldview education are taking a second look. As the culture crumbles around us, parents are rethinking their long-held commitments to secular education. Perhaps beauty will rise from the ashes as more Americans wake up to the reality that education is being used as a weapon against their dream of giving their children a biblical worldview. Just yesterday, I had phone conferences with two men I had never met before. One works in a ministry that has access through athletes to share the gospel with hundreds of thousands of public school students each year. This is a powerful work, and yet they are looking for partners to help take these students to a deeper level of biblical worldview development after the evangelistic events. We talked about a partnership using the biblical worldview training program we are developing for public school students. The other gentleman I talked with yesterday is a public school principal who sees the darkness growing in his school and is seriously considering investing the rest of his life in Christian education ministry. This is a weekly experience for me these days. God is moving in people and stirring their hearts to get involved in the great mission to give children a biblical view of life. This is the hope for America! As you read through this issue of The Renewanation Review, I challenge you to read with an open heart and mind. Ask the Holy Spirit to speak deeply into your heart, and promise to respond with an obedient heart. Together, we can save the hearts and minds of our children and prepare our nation for a great spiritual awakening.
