Former NFL Player Launches Education Program With Liberty University to ‘Get God Back in Our Schools’

The secret to healing, racial reconciliation and returning to our nation’s faith foundation lies in our schools, so says former NFL player Jack Brewer.

“We’ve got to get God back in our schools. I’m a believer in that,” Brewer said in a recent Daily Wire interview.

To do this, the philanthropist and ordained evangelist is launching a faith-based education program called the Serving Institute.

The program, in partnership with Liberty University, will be tailored to delivering the education most schools aren’t offering. Students will learn basics of etiquette, manners, reading and writing, and math: skills that lower-income students, Brewer says, often lack.

The program will also focus on community outreach and cultivating servants’ hearts within the children.

“We’re teaching them how to be gentlemen, teaching them how to be servant leaders. That’s why we’re called the ‘Serving Institute,” Brewers continues. “Every kid will be required to serve his community, feeding those that are less fortunate—even if they themselves are less fortunate—we’re going to take them to go do our serving projects.”

Through this outreach-based organization, Brewer prays that the children will learn, “through service, they can also empower themselves while they’re empowering their communities.”

The Jack Brewer Foundation is an initiative Brewer launched in 2006 to combat poverty and human rights challenges worldwide. Brewer’s personal faith drives this purpose for his foundation, based on the words of Matthew 5:14-16:

“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do men light a candle and put it under a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.”

Since officially dedicating his life to the Lord in 2019, Brewer found “that nothing can be more exhilarating than the supernatural experiences that you get while serving God.”

This is the driving force behind the Serving Institute, and he is confident that the Lord will continue to lead him on a path of influence to impact the next generation of believers. {eoa}
