I’m not one to use that word, “miracle,” often, but God has blessed the faithfulness of His people at HCS! Heritage Christian School in Canton, Ohio Canton, Ohio is a nice town with nice people who appreciate community. This part of Ohio, and others, have some economic challenges, drug issues, and a struggling part of the community that probably flies under the radar for most of us. I was awakened to the community served by Sharla and HCS five years ago when I visited Canton for the first time. I have worked with over 200 Christian schools, and I have traveled at my expense to meet them, see their campuses, and diagnose their financial challenges. I have learned to get a sense for the culture of a school rather quickly, and I typically also review the school’s financial history and a history of leadership and enrollment changes prior to my site visit. God’s Faithfulness HCS is special. The families represented, the students, the faculty, the staff, the leadership team, and the board are unlike those I encounter other places. Sharla and I discuss this and explain a series of events that prompt my use of the word, “miraculous.” God has blessed HCS after years of struggle that would have prompted most of us to quit. You will be astounded at this story of God’s faithfulness in the lives of His people at HCS. Sharla tells the story well in this powerful conversation.
