At Abundant Life Academy we respect the educational consultant. However, when we say we respect the educational consultant, we are only referring to the Christ-centered educational consultant. We don't want to alarm you, but most educational consultants practice humanism. Meaning, they deny God and His power, and place the power within the human mind and heart. They corporately deny Christ, and exalt man's innate ability to health thyself.

When we speak of Christ-centered educational consultants we mean professional educators who have a tremendous knowledge and understanding of God's Word. There faith is not in man's wisdom, but in God alone. These people are extraordinary people, gifted, and trained. When submitted to God's will, seeking the Glory only for God, then miracles happen. At Abundant Life Academy we encourage all parents to hire a Christ-centered educational consultant to help facilitate the search of the perfect school or program for their child.

Most educational consultants will broadcast their position on Jesus right off the get go. Their web site will declare Jesus as Lord. If they don't openly and honestly express their faith, then perhaps you have not found the right consultant, and your search continues. At Abundant Life Academy we can refer several Christ-centered, God fearing, professional educational consultants who will serve you with the Love of God.
