“It is a privilege to help lead this organization that is making a tremendous impact in our public schools. Young people, more than ever, need perspective on how our history, laws, and culture have been shaped by the most influential work in human history—the Bible. As you consider investing in what may well be one of your most significant contributions, I humbly encourage you to consider investing in the next generation of Bible History students.”
