There are some who may question the logic of pursuing a school expansion and large capital campaign in the middle of what may be the worst financial crisis in our nation’s history. The answer to “Why now?” is that as a school, we are following the provision and calling of God to expand the school.
One interesting fact about recessions that the major news outlets do not focus on is that in times of financial crisis, people turn to “religion” for comfort. Christians stand out in this environment as beacons of hope knowing our future is secure in Christ. Now more than ever, we need to train our children to be salt and light in the world. We need to follow God’s direction in expanding our school to train those He is sending our way. While it may seem an unlikely time for a successful fundraising effort, all evidence to the contrary. Our pre-campaign feasibility study conducted by an outside firm, indicated that our PCA family shared the vision and is ready to give in order to assure our success.
We are not alone in this pursuit. Here is a link http://www.star-telegram.com/schools/story/1246062.html to a recent front page article in the Fort Worth Star Telegram, stating that private schools in the area (Christian Schools were highlighted in the Article) are flourishing. PCA is one of several Christian schools in the DFW area that are growing and pursuing significant building campaigns. God’s economy is not that of the world, he is calling us to grow now and prepare our students to be the Christian leaders of the future.

100 Days of Prayer
Aug. 23-29: Praise for God’s Provision
God, we praise you for your provision during this building project. We pray that you will continue to provide everything our school needs including teaching materials and supplies to develop a sincere, strong, learning environment that leads our students to higher education and a desire to be excellent for God!
Matthew 4:4 Jesus answered, “It is written: Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”
Psalm 67 May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us, that your ways may be known on the earth, your salvation among all nations. May the peoples praise you, O God may all the people praise you. May the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you rule the peoples justly and guide the nations of the earth.

Welcome
Pantego Christian Academy is Building On! We named this blog site Building On because that is what we are doing at PCA. Literally, we are building on to the campus. As God has blessed PCA with the ability to puchase the former Stripling & Cox department store building, we are building on to our campus as we convert that building into our High School. The physical structural changes are the most visible way we are changing and growing at PCA, but we are also building on in many other exciting ways. We are building on our family as enrollment increases for the 2009-2010 school year. We are building on our academic success as the new space will allow teaching and learning styles to prepare our students for the future. We are building on our athletic success with the most successful teams in PCA history. We are building on our success in fine arts with award winning programs.
We will use this blog as a way to keep you updated on the progress of the building campaign. This is an exiting time for Pantego Christian Academy. Join us as we Build On.
