Families and education are inseparable; as soon as a child arrives home for the first time, everyone contributes something to their education, protection, and safety. But what about when the child reaches school age when they must go to school outside their home? Who will be their teachers? Will they be your God-fearing friends? Or boys and girls experts in sin? Will the school keep God's commandments? There remain many questions, which are the concern and suffering of the afflicted parents who have the responsibility before God to take their children to the very gates of heaven.

Studying, understanding, and practicing the principles of God’s Word are the essential pillars of a healthy Christian life. We are not talking about just reading the Bible but studying it under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
