Storing Up Treasures in Heaven: The Story of Paideia's Granddad

Now I just want to kind of talk about, you said going back to 2002, you've been involved.

I just want to talk about those years that you have given to Paideia and ask you a few questions if that sounds good to you.

So before Paideia had a building, before they had a mascot, before the student body was there, you were praying for this classical Christian school.

You said 2002, right? That's when you

were

beginning prayers.

So during that time before Paideia first became a school and opened its doors for day one in 2004, what specifically were you praying for?

In 2002, I was praying specifically whether we should even start a school.

Okay.

That was the

purpose of that gathering.

And then in 2003, when we had decided, yeah, we're going to start a classical Christian school, there were two things that I began praying for at that time.

I began praying for all the future students of Pi Day Academy that this school would have the kind of impact on them that would enable them to be godly men and women for the rest of their lives.

Amen.

And it's been interesting from time to time as I've substituted talking to some students.

I've made the statement, before you were born, I prayed for you.

So cool.

Really cool.

So I hope that has had an impact on them.

Absolutely.

And you said five grandchildren of your own graduated.

And I think you know this as well, but I believe this past year we've reached triple digits for graduates.

So we're over 100 graduates of Paideia Academy at this point.

So what a testimony to God's faithfulness.

I want to praise the Lord for that.
