Pray Without Ceasing

Many of you were expecting a report from our trip to Fortune Bank today. However, the feasibility study on the building is not finished. This is a critical piece of data when presenting a business plan. So, instead, David Seitzer, Ann Gustafson, Brenda Bates, Amy Lee and Angie Womack visited Liberty Christian Academy.

A couple of years ago, LCA was in a similar situation as we are now (only with a much greater time crunch). Our visit was primarily to see how another school is running a daycare/school setup and to take a look at their financial situation. The trip was profitable in both areas. Our goal of one entity providing Christian training and education for infants through twelfth grade was confirmed. Our confidence in being able to adequately fund this goal was bolstered. Our commitment to quality Christian care, training, and education was renewed.

One major barrier remains: initial funding. That's where each of you plays a crucial part. Be thinking of churches, businesses, and individuals who might be prospects for helping us with financial foundations. Within the next two weeks, we hope to have a PowerPoint presentation ready to give to anyone interested. Be praying in the same direction.

As you pray, consider the ultimate goal of Christian care, training, and education: supporting parents in raising godly children. The EIT Board is not just aiming towards the business aspect of Christian education but is complete agreement that promoting the spiritual condition of each child is of utmost importance. Also pray as the board meets again next Tuesday. There is much data to assimilate between now and then. We need clear thoughts and Spirit led discernment as we wade through demographics, financials, and general wording for a business plan.

Having a Fire Works Stand this summer is beginning to look promising. Please pray for Steve Womack as he works out the details and rushes to get all the proper permits and insurance and as he finalizes a location. We will let you know as soon as these details are worked out.

Finally, a note of encouragement. David spoke with a family today who is wanting to place their sixth grade child in a Christian school. They are sold on the concept we are trying achieve and took and enrollment form!
