Tomorrow is a big day for us. Michelle and I will be meeting with the executive of the Southern Baptist Covention (Jim Austin) at 10:30 in the morning. I hope we will have a very productive meeting. We are soliciting his help, expertise, and maybe a little begging along the way. I know for a fact that the Southern Baptist convention has already been keenly aware of the need for Christian schools in our own convention. Per these words by Dr. Morris Chapman, President and CEO of the SBC Executive Committee; "Why shouldn't we have at least one Christian school in every association to merge dynamic principles with academic excellence." He has called on every local baptist association to create a new school. He goes on to say that there could be a number of Southern Baptist churches band together to create an outstanding Chritian school for the area.
Still, with the acknowledgement of these words the task is much more than two women can handle. We need a rising of men, women, families who can support this cause and get on board through support in prayer, manpower, volunteerism, and of course will need donations to get this school up and running. If you need more help trying to figure if this is a good cause for you, here are some websites for you to meander through: Discoverchrisitanschools.com (this has a quick online test it will open your eyes!), Exodusmandate.com (my favorite), and SBACS.org.
Pray for us tomorrow to be able to explain ourselves on how we feel God has put this in our hearts, and help us stay focused on the most important task which is to give our children the future and a hope that is promised to them in Jeremiah 29:11. " For I know the plans I have for you saith the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you to give you a hope and a future."
