| WHAT IF
...the nation's largest Protestant denomination aggressively
supported Christian education as a new strategy for church growth
and discipleship for children and parents?
...Baptist schools were recognized as a powerfully community
outreach and were listed in the same breath with other missions
and evangelistic efforts?
...there were thousands of Baptist schools of excellence all
across America, teaching Biblical truth all week long to millions
of American children?
...those schools were open to the children of their communities
and sponsored/supported by churches and denominational entities
so that any child could attend without regard to family income (just
as we now do Sunday school)?
THEN
...the schooling that has been used to secularize our nation
and its children could be used to give them a sacred education instead.
...our children would think and act from biblical values instead
of worldly ones.
...young people would stay in our churches to invigorate them
as Kingdom warriors.
...our children would become the salt and light that secular
schooling has not and cannot deliver.
TURN THE "WHAT IFS"
INTO REALITY
AND WE CAN CHANGE OUR WORLD
FOR CHRIST IN ONE GENERATION!
