Motivation for Establishing
Children are the greatest blessings God has bestowed upon us. Through raising our children, we come to deeply understand God's love for us and learn the grace of forgiveness of sins. The Bible teaches that nurturing our precious children to become disciples who believe and follow Jesus is God's command to parents (Deuteronomy 6:4-9) and the greatest goal of the family (Malachi 2:15).
However, our reality has become one of disobedience to God's Word by entrusting the role of child-rearing, which God entrusted to parents, to public education. By exposing our children to public education, which openly supports homosexuality, abortion, and anti-biblical views that oppose God, we have witnessed irreparable and sorrowful realities in our families and society.
Recognizing the need to repent for our past disobedience, the church, as a spiritual family and parent, must rise and take responsibility for our children alongside the parents. This realization has led to the founding of Olive Tree Christian Academy. Ultimately, this is a ministry of restoring the responsibility of nurturing the precious children entrusted to us by God to both the family and the church.
