Summary: With over 94, 000 public and private elementary, middle, junior high, and high schools with a combined enrollment of 57.2 million students, churches can partner with schools to provide services and support, influencing schools and communities for the cause of Christ.
Report: Jeremy Del Rio makes a case for why churches should become involved on their local elementary, middle, junior high, and senior high school campuses. (Read his article at http://www.ymtoday.com/articles/article.php?aid=2651.) The challenge sounds impossible until one remembers that there are 300,000+ churches in our country.
In our society, the school is one of the prominent battlegrounds for our culture. Outside of family, schools powerfully shape the lives of students in dynamic and lasting ways, for good or for bad. Everyschool.com is a coalition of Christian ministries aiming at proclaiming the gospel to every junior high and high school student in our nation. Churches are encouraged to adopt local schools and find ways to support the campus and develop an outreach to students, faculty, and administration.
In an economy like the present one, schools are often unfunded and understaffed. Committed Christians can provide mentorships, tutoring, resources, supplies and other worthwhile and meaningful support to their local school. The Internet site provides guidance and other resources to help churches and Christian organizations make a difference on local school campuses.
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9 ESV
