There is important news about the future of Grand Rapids Christian Schools.

Tim Wiersma, member of the Grand Rapids Christian Schools' Board of Trustees and Chair of the board's Strategic Planning Committee, and Rich Liverance, member of the Grand Rapids Christian Middle School District Board and pastor at Kentwood Baptist Church, kicked off the formal work of the strategic initiative task forces on October 29 by introducing a process to lift the work of each committee in prayer. The initial
meeting began with devotions and personal and small group prayer, and Tim requested each task force begin its independent work by being mindful of four prayer points:

• Inquire of the Lord, seeking wisdom and insight and direction;
• Request of Spirit-led discernment in decision making;
• Seek cooperation and unity of purpose;
• Acknowledge God through praise with expectation of realizing God’s blessings on the process.

An exciting opportunity to further lift the strategic work in prayer has already been offered: Moms in Touch representatives in each of our schools have offered to pray for our strategic work as well, and they will be included in an exchange of prayer requests and items of praise throughout the process.

God’s hand is seen in so many ways!
