January 20th "Tell me a story"

We love to hear interesting or compelling stories.  They just roll off of our tongue and easily fill the space when chatting with friends.  We also love to talk about what is close to our hearts, especially when we have that in common with other people.  We can talk about church, school, or our kids with the people who share the same passion as we do.  The harder part can be conversing about something, oh let’s say education, when you don’t share the *same passion.  This got me to thinking about our school and how our parents are our biggest ambassadors.  Paul Rand, in his book “Highly Recommended”, conducted a survey to which 92% of respondents reported that a positive recommendation from a friend, family member, or someone they trust is the biggest influence their decision making.  That coupled with your passion for your child and the Christian faith creates a wonderful platform to talk to others about Providence Christian School.  If you are thinking about talking about our school to someone then just speak through those passions and tell of an interesting story or event in your child’s life that either opens the door or express what Christian education is all about.  If we do believe that God is the Lord of all the big things and the little things then surely he is the God of education as well.  Consider talking to someone about our school and if you would like a resource “Considering Christian Education” you can contact the office and we would gladly send home a copy.  It gives practical answers to some of the questions or critiques of Christian schools.
