Start a Chartered
“You Can Still Pray in
School”
Campaign
in your church, ministry or organization
The "You
Can Still Pray in School" Campaign is an
Interdenominational
Educational Effort
It costs you nothing!
Sponsored by Concepts of Freedom Ministries,
Inc.
A 501(c)3 non profit
organization
217 West Chestnut Street, Rogers, AR 72756
800-494-7497
Prayer
and Bible reading in public schools are still legal!
Here are
the simple steps and procedures:
1.
The first task is to find a director. The director may be the pastor, but
it would be better if it was another trusted person in the organization that
has a burden to bring God back to prominence in our public schools. Age or
sex is not a factor as long as it is an adult that has a talent to lead and
inspire.
The director will have to become very familiar with the legal
guidelines to the point that he or she can explain them in simple
terms.

2.
Recruit a support group or committee that is willing to help promote and
back the program. A part of their responsibilities will be to advertise the
campaign. They will be able to find a wide range of free promotion avenues
that are geared toward non profit organizations.
3.
Fill out the Application to Start A “You Can Still Pray in School” Campaign
along with the Application for Directorship, and send it to Concepts of Freedom
Ministries. After you are approved, you will receive your charter from Concepts
of Freedom Ministries free of charge.
4.
Have monthly or bimonthly meetings for the purpose sharing testimonies, successes
and setbacks, in the event there are any. These meeting should be fun and
can be attended by children as well as adults. Other than a short motivational
presentation from the leader, it should be an casual time with few formalities.
Other than starting and ending with prayer and Bible reading, there should
be little agenda. Serve refreshments and maybe even have a short game or Bible
quiz. Allow time for group participation. Always greet successes with group
applause.
5.
Keep in mind that the primary and foremost goal of the “You Can Still Pray in School” Campaign
is the education of children, parents and other interested parties.
6.
Avoid confrontations at the school(s). In the event you encounter resistance
when you are following the guidelines, report it to Concepts of Freedom Ministries.
It is not our goal to become involved in any legal battles. Our goal is to
work in Christian love, kindly promoting the laws already in place.
7.
Monetary donations made to your campaign will be used exclusive for your
campaign. All donations will be tax deductible under the 501(c)3 tax shelter.
8.
Keep Concepts of Freedom Ministries informed as to the progress of your chapter
in a timely manner. An informal report is appreciated after each meeting.
This report may be sent by email or postal mail. If you use email, please
put the words “Prayer in School” in the subject line.
9.
All positions are volunteer.
