Philosophy of Pathfindering
Proverbs 22:6
Training them while they are young is
important because 70% of Christians
make their decision for Christ before the
age of 14 (christianitytoday.com)
Because of changes in society such as:
divorce causing single parent homes,
• 50% of our kids not attending
Christian schools,
• Fewer families in society have any
contact with Christianity
