Renewanation Biblical Worldview Revitalization Programs to pass on the Christian faith to children in their care . We chose a school embracing a biblical worldview because we want our children to receive the essential gospel elements at every possible moment . We want their playground disputes with friends solved using the principles of forgiveness and grace found in God ’ s Word . We want teachers to help my children find who their Creator designed them to be , rather than helping them achieve secular notions of what is best . We want to partner with teachers to train our children to work through difficult situations by examining God ’ s Word .
I also desired a biblical worldview education because of what it meant to me . My parents sacrificed tremendously to put my sister and me in a Christian school . At the time , I didn ’ t understand that choice involved giving up vacations and eating out . The reality is that some families can ’ t afford a non-public education despite making those sacrifices . But as an adult , I can ’ t imagine where I would be if I hadn ’ t received that God-centered education . It was in my sixth-grade classroom when I first heard the faintest call on my life to defend unborn life from abortion . It was in that school that my passion for government developed . And it was that school ’ s athletics that exposed me to godly leadership — something I now try to model with my employees . I lead a pro-life public policy organization that makes a real impact on human life because my school created opportunities for me to hear the Holy Spirit and respond .
Jesus didn ’ t say “ Let the little children come to me ” as a comment in that moment . He said it because God created little children to have a tremendous capacity to learn and walk by faith . When my daughter , Emma Grace , was two years old , she had such a passion for life . Every aspect of the mundane day brought her overwhelming joy . However , Emma Grace had some difficulty articulating words . Though she spoke and sang non-stop , you couldn ’ t understand everything . But her passion was not lacking ! At dinner , my husband would often ask who would like to say the blessing . Emma Grace was the first to raise her hand and say , “ Me pray .” So we would bow our heads and listen intently to her words before the emphatic “ AMEN !” When she said her bedtime prayers , it must have been the sweetest sound to Jesus ’ ear . Her innocence , passion , and joy were no match for her speech impediment . When she prayed , I was convicted of doing everything possible to ensure she kept praying that way — that Jesus never stops hearing her sweet sound . If a biblical worldview education can partner with me in that mission , no amount of sacrifice is too much . ■

CHURCHES & MINISTRIES
We can help you establish or strengthen a robust biblical worldview approach to training families and children in your care . Our approach brings a much-needed paradigm shift to the world of family and children ’ s ministry . We help churches see the value of shifting from an attractional and entertainment method of ministry to an equipping of parents and grandparents focused ministry .
Dr . Josh Mulvihill , our Executive Director of Church and Family Ministry , leads this work and has practiced this approach for many years as a pastor to families and children in a church with thousands of congregants .
