Children need the Gospel of the Lord and a Quality Education in a Christian Setting

 

The Black-ministry Lutheran Advisory School Team for schools in Black Ministry (B.L.A.S.T) developed a three – point appeal emphasis:

• Demonstrate God’s love by giving to the National Scholarship Fund for Schools in Black Ministry.
• Schools in Black Ministry enable children and their parents to hear the gospel for the first time.
• Many children that live within 10 blocks of most schools in Black Ministry are unchurched and can not afford to attend the school.

The value of a Christian Education through a Lutheran School is immeasurable. Lutheran Schools are ideal for the recruitment of future Professional Church Workers.-

Dr. Willie P. Stallworth, Sr.

The future of our children is ultimately in God’s hands. It is also in ours! Lutheran education provides daily opportunities to, by the power of the Holy Spirit, tell and retell the biblical stories of faith; empower both children and adults for ministry together; share with children a life in friendship with God by praying together; and exemplify the Christian life by inviting them to join in as we live a life of service and witness.-

Biblical emphasis:

“Let the Children Come and do not hinder them for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these.”

-Matthew 19:14

By sending a gift to “Help the Children Come” Scholarship fund you will enable many children that live within a ten – block radius of Schools in Black Ministry, that can not afford tuition, to attend a Lutheran School.
