Education for God’s Glory

"Education for God's Glory" describes a God-given vision for a new movement of Kingdom-focused primary schools.

This book will help you:

• See education from God's perspective, including students, teachers, and operations of a whole school

• Realize that Christians at local Kingdom Academies are a body of Christ and can be God's powerful tool to raise disciples of Jesus

• Be inspired by God's love for Kingdom education

• Receive practical methods and foundational principles for the spiritual development of students based on their age and physiological development

Rosmarin Kingdom Academies will focus on raising young men and women who will choose to please God, have consistency in their relationship with God, and have the courage to stand up for truth, while never compromising their faith in Christ Jesus.

"Education for God's Glory" describes a God-given perspective on primary education. After going through a former Soviet Union public school, God allowed the author to get involved in American Christian schools. Through these schools, He inspired her heart with a deep love for education.

In December of 2016, God gave her a vision about a new movement of His schools called Rosmarin. Every subject and school activity will be viewed as God's tool to understand Him and His creation better, expand His Kingdom on earth, and inspire students to become lifelong faithful followers of Jesus.

Along with academics, Rosmarin Kingdom Academies will help students develop their identity in Christ, identify their gifts, and instill a desire to seek God's purposes for their lives. In addition to the inner work of raising children of God, academies will serve the city or town in which they are located. They will be the salt and light of Jesus, as called for in Matthew 5:13-14.

"Then the king interviewed them, and among them all none was found like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; therefore, they served before the king. And in all matters of wisdom and understanding about which the king examined them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers who were in all his realm." - Daniel 1:19-20
