The RenewaNation Review 2017 Volume 9 Issue 1 | Page 7

F ounder’s Pen from the Dear Reader, Thank you for reading this edition of The Renewanation Review magazine. You may be a veteran Christian educator, a parent with lots of questions about how you should educate your child, or a person sitting in a doctor’s office waiting to hear your name called. No matter who you are, you will find informative and challenging articles as you turn the pages of this magazine. Our purpose in publishing The Renewanation Review is very simple. We want to help people understand the importance of giving children a biblical worldview through any and all means. One of the most effective methods for accomplishing this goal is to enroll children in full-time Christian education. We are also committed to provid- ing children who cannot attend a Christian school or homeschool the opportunity to develop a biblical worldview. If there was ever a day when parents and churches need to get serious about helping children see all of life through a biblical lens, today is that day. We have watched 65-80% of our young people walk away from the faith over the last 40 years. What we have been doing has not worked! We must think differently if we hope to save this genera- tion of children from the onslaught of secularism. As you read these articles, your traditional thinking will be challenged. Perhaps you will wrestle with what is written and will need time to think about the content. Our prayer is that God will speak deeply into your heart as you read, and you will be motivated to take new action that will result in more kids developing a biblical worldview.
