Launch a Christian School
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
so are children born in one’s youth.
Blessed is the man whose
quiver is full of them.
He will not be put to shame when he
confronts the enemies at the gate.
Psalm 127:4-5
over, prepared, and protected with a defense and weapons
already provided to them.
Look around, and you will see life is an all-out battlefield.
There is no successful “shelter in place” tactic, so train your
kids like their lives depended on it, because they do. Tell
your children about demons and Satan. Tell them their love
for Jesus will be hated in this world, and they are walking
the hardest choice for this life that there is but to not lose
heart or hope. This world is not our home, and our God has
overcome the world.
Arm your children with the Word, the truth, and the
wisdom God has provided, and pray over them without
ceasing. I am no fool to believe my children will never fall or
be hurt. But I daily enter the battlefield with them knowing
every time we’ve been attacked or fall, God has never failed
us. Because of the truth burned into their young hearts,
they’ll know how to get back up, know they defeated the
enemy, and it will bring glory to God. Because I’m not rais-
ing children, I’m raising an army; I’m raising arrows. ■
Megan Clark is a homeschooling mom to four boys and a girl, who keep her pediatric
nursing skills sharp. She is married to Matthew Clark, an attorney with the American Cen-
ter for Law and Justice. Living in Washington D.C. has given their family daily opportuni-
ties to explore and learn. Between hiking, running, baking, making messes, photography,
and blogging, Megan and Matthew keep Christ the head of their household as they grow
alongside their children in becoming more like Jesus.
“Whoever wants the next generation of
children the most will get them!”
Apart from the influence of godly parents, where a child
attends school has the greatest influence on whether or
not a child embraces Christ and His truth. A child spends
between 35-45 hours each week in a school setting. The
church only has access to their hearts and minds for about
2-4 hours per week. Many churches that are passionate
about discipling children are launching Christian schools.
It just makes sense.
At Renewanation, we have discovered a way to launch a
Christian school even if your budget is limited. It’s not sim-
ple or easy, but it can be done by those who have a calling
from God and a passion to see more children develop a
biblical worldview.
Set up an exploratory call with our school startup team
to learn more about five key components necessary to
launch a new Christian school.
