Our first financial contribution! We praise the Lord once again for providing us our first financial support through the contribution of an individual who supports the vision of Vita Nova Christian Academy.
We invite everyone who cares about the advancement of the gospel of Jesus Christ, everyone who cares about children growing up with a Christian worldview, to consider giving financial support to Vita Nova. This of course must be after you have given your tithe to your local church, but we invite you to invest in the Kingdom of God through this vision that He is turning into a reality.
Perhaps another time we will post reasons why it is important to support this school (there are many!), but for now we ask God through His Holy Spirit to guide your heart as you consider how to use the financial resources that He has blessed you with.

Read to Your Children
"Learning to read begins the first time an infant is held and read a story. How often this happens, or fails to happen, in the first five years of childhood turns out to be one of the best predictors of later reading. A little-discussed class system invisibly divides our society, with those families that provide their children environments rich in oral and written language opportunities gradually set apart from those who do not, or cannot. A prominent study found that by kindergarten, a gap of 32 million words already separates some children in linguistically impoverished homes from their more stimulated peers. Children who begin kindergarten having heard and used thousands of words, whose meanings are already understood, classified, and stored away in their young brains, have the advantage on the playing field of education. Children who never have a story read to them, who never hear words that rhyme, who never imagine fighting with dragons or marrying a prince, have the odds overwhelmingly against them."
