LAKEWOOD PARK CHRISTIAN SCHOOL WEEKLY NEWSLETTER
Friday, November 14, 2008

I cannot begin to tell you how encouraging it is to be a part of what
God is doing in the lives of students and families at Lakewood Park
Christian School. Our senior high Bible teacher shared how our recent
graduates are emailing him about what they are learning in college and
how thankful they are that the Bible helps them understand the
philosophy the professors are teaching.

We are seeing students put their faith into action. Last year, one of
our foreign exchange students listened politely to God's truth all year
long, but never made a decision for Christ. This summer, just days
before he was leaving for home, the student knelt to accept Christ with
one of our students in the living room of a school family. In his
words, he cannot wait to "pursue Christ."

God has been so good to our students, our staff and our school families.
We are thankful for all that He has done. There are, however, still
significant needs. We have a record enrollment of 625 and there are
students at every level who are struggling with God's leadership in
their lives. Please pray with us that God will use the teachers and
students who want to serve Him to make a difference in their lives.

Our mission is to equip students with an excellent education founded in
a biblical worldview so they can go out and engage their world for
Christ! As almost all of you realize, there are many challenges this
year and we are only able to achieve this goal with your help.

This is the Lord's ministry and He has always chosen to use His people
to provide the necessary funds to influence the next generation to
follow Him. God has tremendously influenced the lives of hundreds of
students at Lakewood Park Christian School because of the support of so
many people like you. This is why I would like you to consider being a
part of His provision.

This has been a difficult year for many of our families and we know that
your situation may not be much different. Several parents have lost
jobs and are working to catch up over the year. We have worked hard to
fund the school through tuition, but thousands of dollars are still
needed for this year's annual fund to provide this ministry of Christian
education. Would you please consider joining with us to provide this
need?

Needs like this are met when individuals and families give as they are
led by the Spirit of God. We are asking all of you to pray that God
will enable us to reach this goal and we are asking you to give to help
our Christian school ministry continue to serve students effectively.
We would love to have you be a part of what God continues to do here at
Lakewood.

We are so thankful for you who faithfully support this ministry and the
many more of you who will join in supporting us this year to make this
goal a reality. Participation in our annual fund, no matter how great
or small, is an excellent opportunity to join in the blessings of
supporting this work.

Thank you for all the ways you continue to support Lakewood Park
Christian School: your gifts, your prayers, and for the privilege of
leading your children in the ways of the Lord.

For His Glory,

Randy Carman
Superintendent
