Update - Will Exit 316 be in schools?
Pray …for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly (2Thes 3:1)
In my last “Lift” I asked you to pray for negotiations that were under way with the minister of Education in the Czech Republic. Our team was working to see if Exit 316, a TV show we have aired for the last year on National TV, could be used in Ethics and Social Studies classes.
Our original request that the curriculum be posted on the Minister of Education web site was not granted. At the last minute a powerful member of the board of education who is a staunch atheist blocked the process. However, the Minister of Education voiced his approval for the project, and said he would support any local initiatives from schools to use the material. He recommended we work with teachers and principals at the local level, and gave us a green light to proceed. Praise God for this support!
The doors to schools are opening in an unusual way. Just this week, a team of youth speakers and a Christian band are in the tenth city of an “Exit Tour.” Over thirty high schools have canceled classes for a full day so that our team can do assemblies and lectures in classes. The assemblies allow them to fulfill requirements they have for work in “prevention”, and give us the opportunity to show how the Bible offers solutions to everyday problems.
Thank you for your prayers.
