Message from Jim Koan, Superintendent

“Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” Luke 18:16

As a PC parent relayed the following story to me, for some reason I thought of this verse. Tell me if you see the connection. This EL parent mentioned in a prayer meeting that her daughter recently asked her “Mom, what do you think about abortion?” This mom’s response was initially (internally) “Oh, you are too young to talk about this; I want to keep you a little girl longer.” But when she realized her daughter had indeed been introduced to the word abortion, if not the concept, she realized she needed to answer her straight up in age appropriate language.

As she reflected on what her teacher had said to the students about this delicate issue when the kids asked for her opinion, this mom realized she was grateful her daughter had the seeds of truth planted in her about God’s view of the sanctity of life right from the start. How grateful she was that the seed of truth and of a biblical worldview was planted graciously but firmly by her teacher.

You, each one of you, graciously and firmly plant God’s truth and nurture into fruition a biblical worldview every day. From PS to Senior you are cultivating an orchard of Godly living.
