"The Catalog of Public School Ministries"

Returning the Bible & Wisdom principles to our public school

children under our 1st Amendment rights.  

---

Disclaimer: Hisways^®USA, Inc. does not want to reinvent the wheel.   We have listed some organizations below for your convenience to help you contact, start or apply the idea/program in your class, school or district.

One of our goals is to help promote the programs that already exist and are already operating successfully throughout the country.   We are interested in promoting and advertising these successful (wise, truthful and loving) programs developed by other worthy organizations that benefit our public school children, families and communities.

We cannot warrant or guarantee the effectiveness or appropriateness of every program and organization listed; but neither will we ``strain at a gnat`` (some small point of denominationalism or tradition) when our children and parents are forced to ``swallow ... (the) camel(s)`` (Matt. 23:24) of atheistic evolution, sexual promiscuity, doctrines of denial over truth and wisdom, and the lack of a righteous purpose from the public education system.

This page also answers the most basic questions:    1.)  Is it legal?   2.)  Is it being done anywhere else?   3.)  Who is doing it?    4.)  How can I help to start it or  promote it in my school?   5.)  What if I need legal help?

We would appreciate notice of any other Christian ministry programs, not listed here, that are successful in your school.
