From a Grateful Heart

Happy Thanksgiving Eve! I pray this message finds you well and excited about the opportunity to spend time with friends and family as we celebrate this season of thanksgiving. 

Dr. Tom Burkett by Tom Burkett in Community
From a Grateful Heart

Psalm 107:1 states, “Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His steadfast love endures forever!”

I am so thankful for the Banner family! The opportunity to partner with Christian parents in the education of their children has eternal impact. I am also excited that Banner is growing! With this growth comes additional needs to support our school program. This coming Tuesday, is Giving Tuesday where non-profit organizations across the country will seek to raise money for different projects. I can think of nothing better than to invest in the lives of young people. Because of our growth and the age of several of our buses, Banner is attempting to raise $75,000 or more to help purchase additional buses.

Please prayerfully consider a donation to help us reach this goal. Also, please share with Grandparents, other family members, colleagues, and friends to see if they might also be willing to give. Together, I believe we can reach our goal!

Furthering His kingdom, 

Dr. Burkett
