Dear ALFWC community,We are so excited about the potential and relevancy of this ministry. Our children arethe most prized possession we’ve been entrusted to steward. The nature and scope of their education is of utmost importance. So we say: To the Many Beautiful Children of AbundantAs your pastors, we love you and believe you can excel far beyond the world’sexpectations. We know that you have greatness inside of you and long to see youdiscover your gifts and fulfill your dreams. In fact, you are a present snapshot of thefuture and we want nothing more than for you to succeed. Throughout the school year, please remember we are in your corner and cheering you on.To the ParentsHaving been parents of school-aged children, we understand your desire for your children to receive the best education the state, private or charter school system can provide. We understand your longing for them to surpass you in their intellectual,emotional, social and spiritual development.

Let us band together to fortifyour children, provide them with quality tutoring and mentoring, and cultivate anenvironment that inspires them to bravely meet, tackle and triumph over challenges.In closing, we encourage every stakeholder (parents, teachers, and church family) toconsider the following question posed by Psalm 127:3 (Message version), “
Don't yousee that children are God's best gift? The fruit of the womb his generous legacy?”
Let us therefore remain faithful in properly stewarding the minds and hearts of our
