By God’s grace, the new LifeWise Skestos Center, complete with training facility and offices, will advance three strategic initiatives: to equip, sustain and amplify.
The new facility will be the hub of training for program directors, teachers and local board members to learn all about the 5 L’s of operations: leadership, location, logistics, loot and language. The growing number of staff and volunteers from across the nation will receive live instruction in Bible teaching, child safety, fundraising and much more.
For over 70 years, the opportunity of released time has been available to our nation but has lacked widespread penetration due to lack of the much needed infrastructure. The LifeWise team will continue working to remove barriers and create tools and resources for communities nationwide to launch and sustain effective programs.
The greatest obstacle in providing Bible education to public school students during school hours is that people simply don’t know it’s possible. The new facility will create added visibility to the mission and become a destination for those wanting to know more. The studio space and technology will empower LifeWise to create and share content nationwide through LifeWise channels and media opportunities.
A gift to the Building the Future campaign is an opportunity to equip, sustain and amplify the mission of LifeWise: to provide Bible education for public school students DURING SCHOOL HOURS.
Your generous contribution includes an opportunity for public acknowledgement at the new Skestos Center campus. You may also commemorate a family member or friend through a naming opportunity.
Every gift to LifeWise Academy is meaningful. Your generosity will help propel LifeWise to making Bible education available to the 50 million public school students across the nation!
