Do you not see it?
"There shall be a stirring amongst the dry bones. We know not by what mysterious impulse and agency a people, spread over the whole earth, shall be suddenly and simultaneously moved." - Rev. Henry Melvill, 1854
In the early to mid 1970's, there was a spiritual stirring and revival among a small group of men and women in the Mandeville/Covington area. Bible studies began to spring up in homes across the area as many surrendered their lives to Christ and began to seek His will and His glory. Out of this fellowship of believers, the seed was planted to establish a Christian school that would assist the Christian community by providing a Christ-centered education. Forty years later, we are all part of the Northlake Christian School family.
This past week, almost 300 parents and students gathered to dedicate the 2017-2018 school year to the Lord. Those that attended will testify that something "mysterious" was at hand that night. The Lord's presence was apparent as the gathering worshiped and prayed together. There was an electricity in the air and an assurance that the Lord has great things planned for this upcoming school year. May we all perceive it!
We begin our 40th year on Monday, and we cannot wait to greet our Middle School Wolverines as we set off on this adventure together. The Lord has a purpose and plan for each of our students, and we are honored to be a part of His work.
