Luke 12:33&34
Give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Matt 6:20&21
Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Matt 13:44
“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

I want to encourage you and give you an opportunity to sow into what God is doing here through Upper Room Christian School on Long Island, NY.
Students are being inspired to be all they can be in Christ! They are being encouraged that the Lord goes before them and that He is their rear guard! They are being rescued from failing educational systems and environments that hinder their growth and progress! They are being protected and preserved from a world belief system that in many cases directly opposes the teachings of Christ! They are being instructed in excellence and uprightness! They are being raised up and nurtured in the things of God in an atmosphere that proclaims Jesus to be the supreme creator and ruler of the universe and all that's in it!
Over 300 students were promoted this year. 44 sent on to Colleges and Universities. Most from middle class families in struggling neighborhoods and school districts. Some with "Individual Education Plans" that other schools would not or could not service.
If you would like to partner with and invest in what God is doing in and through Upper Room Christian School in the lives of these precious children contact me at 631-242-5359ext.203 or write me at rjonodde@aol.com.
Sow a seed of hope and promise in the life of a child!
Grace and Peace,
Ed

Big Ideas to Consider
1. There are basically two kingdoms: a kingdom of light and a kingdom of darkness. It seems strange to have those who walk in darkness educate children of light. It doesn't fit.
2. If Jesus Christ is Lord, then He is Lord of all. We cannot divide things into secular and sacred.
3. All truth is God's truth, and God's Word sheds light on our path. Only in His light can we see light. Education is not focused on possibilities but on certainties found in God's Word.
4. Deuteronomy 6 tells parents that, in all they do, they should provide a godly education 24/7.
5. Three key institutions that shape a child are the home, the church and the school. Children are served best when all three institutions point them in the same direction.
6. Only an education that has the liberty to address the whole child -- social, intellectual, emotional, physical AND spiritual -- reaches the possibility of excellence.
7. The best preparation for effective service is to be well grounded in one's mind before direct engagement of the culture.
Grace and peace,
Ed
