Gail & Ray Moore, Founders of Exodus Mandate Letter introducing |
Exodus Mandate OverviewThe new mandate for Christian education should be, "Every church a school, every parent a teacher." In 1997, the Exodus Mandate Project organized in response to the growing K-12 educational crisis for America's Christian families, pastors and Christian leaders. The crisis issues from the waning Christian mindset or worldview among our Church youth. Eighty percent (80%) of Christian youth receive their principal K-12 education in secular state-run public schools and 70 to 80% of these public-schooled Christian youth are leaving the Church and the Christian Faith. Exodus Mandate advances the proposition that the education of children is the responsibility of the family with assistance from the Church, not the responsibility of the state or government. God clearly explains the parents' duty in such texts of Scripture as Deuteronomy. 6:1-9; Proverbs 22:6; Psalm 78: 1-8; Matthew 22:36-39; 28:18-20; Ephesians 6:1-4. This responsibility is best fulfilled by campus Christian schools, family co-ops and family-based Christian home schooling Christian families and churches could assist single parents, the poor and the needy to meet their Christian educational needs with scholarships, church benevolence, the use of local-church facilities and the expertise of teachers in the congregation. |
