The RenewaNation Review 2022-2023 The Collingsworth Family Special Edition | Page 45

The path to supporting and providing some form of weekday education for students can look very different from one church to another . All churches can open their pulpits to the message that parents must take very seriously their call to give their children a biblical worldview . Some churches choose to get behind the homeschooling families in their community by opening up their facilities during the week . Other churches are choosing a local Christian school to support in a significant way . Yet others are launching microschools that use iLumenEd Online Academy , while some can launch a traditional school using their own teachers and chosen curriculum .
Here ’ s what every church must grapple with : We have lost millions of children over the last forty years , and if we don ’ t do something completely different in the training of our children , we are going to lose millions more in the next forty years . Non-Christian education at the K-12 and college levels has played a significant role in the loss of our children ’ s faith . If we hope to save this and future generations , we must act now .
All across the world , non-Christian organizations are launching micro-schools because they understand the power of educating children . What if the church rose up like Luther did in the Reformation and declared we are no longer going to sit back and watch our children lose their faith a little more each school day ? What if the church rose up and declared enough is enough ? What if we fought with every fiber of our being to train our children to know the one true God and be prepared to take His beautiful way of thinking and acting into every sphere of society ? What if the church started measuring success not by the numbers in attendance on Sunday morning but by the number of eighteen-year-old young men and women who are being sent out from their churches in love with Christ , fully equipped to defend their faith , and committed to answering the call God has given them in this world ?
Thanks to COVID-19 and the lunacy of leftist ideology in education and society , there is an educational revolution taking place . Never before in my lifetime have parents been more open to the possibility of their children receiving education in places other than the public school . Pastors and church leaders , I challenge you to be courageous and take advantage of this unprecedented opportunity to reach the hearts and minds of the children God has entrusted to you .
Please feel free to reach out to our team at RenewaNation , and we will walk with you on this journey to once again make the church and the home the most dominant influence in the lives of the children in your church . ■
