Mr. Sunday School Endorses Gospel Light Worldwide and One Million Children
By GLWW on Aug 17, 2010 in What's New
Dr. Elmer Towns may be a renowned college and seminary professor, author of over 100 popular and scholarly works and co-founder of Liberty University with Jerry Falwell; but for decades the Church community has known him simply as “Mr. Sunday School.” In a prepared video statement, Dr. Towns shares his passion for bringing God’s Word to the children of the world through Gospel Light Worldwide and most especially, through our One Million Children campaign.
The One Million Children campaign was developed to focus attention, rally support and spread awareness of the significance of helping children around the world know Jesus. The One Million Children story is now being shared through a storytelling website and a One Million Children movie entitled, ‘A Journey of the Heart’ that is currently offered free in DVD or digital formats. There is even an infectious One Million Children song that causes toes to tap and hearts to move to a Bob Marley like reggae beat.
Dr. Towns says, “I so approve of this program that I give one-half of my tithes and that’s over and above my local church tithe; one half of my tithe from my books goes to this campaign. Why? Because, I want to reach the children of the world.”
Dr. Towns is using his “Mr. Sunday School” platform to challenge the local church and their mission boards to partner with him and Gospel Light Worldwide to reach One Million Children. He says, “For $83 per month, we can train one thousand children a month.” $1 covers the total cost for an entire year of children’s Bible study or Sunday School, including a culturally relevant translation, teacher training, printing and distribution of the materials, delivering the lessons and evaluation.
Dr. Towns has a long standing relationship with the entire Gospel Light family and currently serves as the Chairman of our Board of Directors. We are blessed to have him.
