Today, Aug. 5, Hillcrest School in Jos, Nigeria, opened (online, in accord with government standards) with the motto & song "All Things New." Back in April, the staff had just begun online programing simply to finish that year well. That's also when their Rev. 21:8 theme was chosen for 2020-21. It seemed good. More recent experiences and preparations have made it plain: This school year will most certainly be a very New Thing, assured by our Lord on the throne.
In this nation, your contributions by ministry shares and prayers are helping rebuild education Pre-K through 12 in general, and holistic Biblical worldview professionalism in particular.
This is extremely relevant. As I communicate with members and Outreach Committees of our supporting churches, I'll bring this very practical and simple retention strategy to their attention.
Retaining our youth is a foundational part of outreach.
I'm looking forward to Part 2.
