First Grader, INSIDE COVER | Photo by: Rebecca Walton. The front entry of the new building scheduled to open March 1, 2023. Yellowstone Schools educates nearly 500 majority Black children in Houston’s historic Third Ward. Yellowstone is committed to partnering with students and families, regardless of financial means, to provide an excellent education, to develop faith and character, and to prepare scholars for life beyond high school. At Yellowstone, we inspire, empower, and invest in students to achieve their highest potential and fulfill their intended purpose. The schools are comprised of Yellowstone Academy and Yellowstone College Prep. The Academy is a private, Christian school serving students in Pre-K through 4th grade and providing significant financial assistance to families. Yellowstone College Prep is a tuition-free charter school growing to serve students from 6th through 12th grade.

What a fantastic start to an already successful new school year! As we celebrate our 20th year, I reflect on Kristi and David Lumpkins’ founding vision to provide a life-changing, faith-based education for the children of Houston’s Greater Third Ward. Thank you for the part you have had in Yellowstone’s history—whether that be as a student, parent, donor, volunteer or staff member. YOU have played an important role in Yellowstone’s success.

With the Yellowstone. Forever. campaign underway, you are also ensuring success for future generations to experience excellence in education. We are close to completing this $30M fundraising campaign and would love your participation! To learn more about Yellowstone. Forever., please visit www.yellowstoneschools.org/forever. Because of your generosity, we are opening our building expansion in a few short months and launching our high school program in Fall 2023. Your support has funded our Post-COVID school model, helping our students improve their academic performance. Your support of this campaign has also renovated our current building with critical upgrades to its fire/security systems, restrooms, underground plumbing, cafeteria, clinic, and common areas. Thank you! Most importantly, our students are growing and thriving! Spring 2022 assessments showed that 85% of our students had experienced significant growth in math, and 70% experienced growth in reading. Specifically, 92% of our 8th-grade students showed improvement, better preparing them for high school. 100% of Yellowstone students who graduated 8th grade in 2018 completed high school and headed to college in August. Between the successes of our students, our 20th anniversary, and the completion of our campus expansion, there’s so much to celebrate. I hope you will join us at our official 20th-anniversary celebration at Party in the Park on Thursday, April 13, or the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new building in February or March. All of this, and we are only halfway through the school year. I look forward to experiencing and reporting even greater successes for our school. Again, it is because of you and your generous heart to help these wonderful kids. We are in this together!

YELLOWSTONE CELEBRATES 20 YEARS: An Enduring Spirit of Faith and Hope

T

he Yellowstone Academy leadership team made a promise of hope to its inaugural class in 2002 from the Bible verse Jeremiah 29:11. It says, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Twenty years later, Yellowstone Schools demonstrates God’s faithfulness to His promise.

God has blessed Yellowstone with education heroes who have served out front and behind the scenes through their spiritual gifts of giving, teaching, exhortation, serving, mercy, and leadership. Over the last 20 years, God has granted donors the right amount of money to give at the right times. He has gifted teachers with the ability to connect with overlooked students. God has empowered staff members with the flexibility to meet the needs of the moment. Likewise, He has gifted the executive team with the ability to create one-of-a-kind education programs.

The Faith of the Yellowstone Families There are a few key elements that define the strength of this institution. First, the tenacity of the Yellowstone families shows that they want a life-changing academic experience for their children. Every year Yellowstone opens its doors to approximately 500 students. The Faith of the Teachers and Staff Second, the teachers, staff, and leadership are committed to cultivating a culture of excellence. Annually, they undergo professional development to learn and apply the latest teaching strategies. Best of all, Yellowstone teachers meet their students where they are and guide them toward excellence. Additionally, some longstanding teachers and board members have served Yellowstone since the beginning. To highlight a few, Brea Groce is an alum turned 2nd-grade teacher. She represents a full circle of success for Yellowstone Schools. Donna Fussell became a Kindergarten teacher in 2002 and still serves today, making her the longest-serving teacher. Greta Peacock is one of the most influential teachers. Middle school students trust and respect her leadership.

David and Kristi Lumpkins are the founding leaders and are still actively serving. In 2001, they saw a need for quality education in the Third Ward community and built the right community and church relationships to establish Yellowstone Schools.

Kim Hanson was the first executive director and is now the director of Program Advancement. As she manages the alumni 4

program on behalf of Yellowstone, she remains an essential aid for the executive leadership team.

Ryan Dolibois is the grand visionary and current executive director of Yellowstone Schools. He is the kind of leader that makes people believe in the impossible. Hope through Growth Yellowstone Schools has overcome lamentable tragedies like Hurricane Harvey that could have permanently closed its doors. From 2002 to today, it has prevailed over industry setbacks like leadership transition and donor drought. Moreover, Yellowstone continues to push through the natural growth challenges in its administration and academic programming. Through it all, Yellowstone Schools remains steadfast in its mission. Furthermore, the history of Yellowstone Schools is marked by a steady pace of growth, beginning with its establishment at Lilygrove Missionary Baptist Church in 2002. In 2006 they purchased the Douglass Elementary School building. Today, they are preparing to unveil their newly renovated building and new building expansion, making the entire property a 120,000 sq. ft. premier educational facility with four distinct learning areas on four acres of land, scheduled to open on March 1, 2023.

Hope through Justice In hindsight, one can only imagine the message of hope given to the first class of 1926 at the 3000 Trulley Street location of Douglass Elementary during an era where Black citizens were considered inferior. Nevertheless, the reality of the times from 1926 to today shows that this space is sacred. Today in the same space, at the exact location, Black children are seen as they are, little images of God who are destined for their divine purpose, as outlined in Jeremiah 29:11. What a picture of justice and hope! The 12th-grade seniors in 2026 will walk the halls of a three-year-old building overlooking the Houston, TX, skyline, fulfilling a 100-year promise of hope to the inaugural class of 1926 at Douglass Elementary. What makes Yellowstone equipped to see another 20 years and beyond? It is the people, the families of this community, the teachers, the staff, the leadership, the donors, and most importantly, the belief that God is for Yellowstone.

2026 will mark 20 years since the purchase of the Douglass Elementary School and 100 years since the beginning of Douglass Elementary.

A LEAP FORWARD IN EDUCATION is Marked by Tailor-Made Solutions

n 2015, Yellowstone Schools started a great effort to create a unique education model that would serve Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade in the Third Ward area. As the only one of its kind in Texas, this private-charter education model is a shared services agreement between a Christian private elementary school and a public charter middle (and future high school). This model is a giant leap forward in education as it serves as a premier education program to educate grade school students and change their lives. What an extraordinary goal!

11

The model is working. It is an unconventional solution to an issue generally associated with poor communities: a low number of college admissions. The average economic status of Yellowstone families is at or below the federal poverty line. Statistics show that children raised in impoverished environments do not pursue a college education. Yellowstone Schools is on a mission to change that statistic. The goal is to change lives. Since the inception of this exclusive education program, seven out of 10 Yellowstone alums have gone on to enter college after high school. In 2018, the entire 8th-grade alum class graduated high school and entered college. This statistic and achievement are the marks of a non-traditional approach to education. The Yellowstone board of directors and senior leadership have historically approached opportunities for growth by closely examining what’s in place and designing tailored solutions to change students’ lives. For example, when students returned to in-person learning in 2021 after the COVID-19 quarantines, the board of directors implemented a strategic plan to make sure students got back on track from the pandemic disruption by accomplishing four objectives:

6

•

Hired additional teachers to keep the class sizes small, with an average of 17 students per teacher.

•

Began leveraging testing data to tailor academic support for students.

•

Partnered with the University of Houston to bring nearly a dozen highly-qualified tutors each week to work oneon-one with students who need extra help.

•

Allocated more time during the school day for reading and math, the two subjects students needed the most help.

As a result, this past Summer, the middle school charter received a “B” from the Texas Education Agency (TEA)“for recognized performance by serving many students well and encouraging high academic achievement and appropriate academic growth for its students” (TEA Accountability Rating Report, 2022). Today, Yellowstone Schools approaches the zenith of its great effort to serve Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade. In the Fall of 2023, Yellowstone will celebrate an extraordinary achievement by welcoming its first 9th-grade class into a brand-new building. Distinctive strategies are the marks of extraordinary goals. These specialized approaches by the Yellowstone Schools leadership are working. The goal of changing a child’s life is incredible. It is a goal that transcends the typical gradeschool program. Whereas most grade school goals set out to push students toward academic excellence and achievement, Yellowstone Schools is on track to accomplish what no grade school has set out to achieve before.

We appreciate the individuals who came to help facilitate class Christmas parties, donated Christmas gifts and party items, organized and wrapped gifts, and stood in the gap to keep our processes moving amid all the hustle and bustle. These special people made our effort to serve our students easier. We are grateful for the blessing of being a united community serving a common purpose.

Dallas Leadership Foundation Reentry Program Dallas Leadership Foundation helps connect former inmates to resources such as clothing and medical care, employment assistance, and courses on living substance-free. We also encourage the efforts of former inmates to reunite with their families.

90,571 Hours of Training

Given to men in DLF’s faith-based prison dorm. Recidivism

DECREASED by 8.3% compared to the state 67.8%

What is the DLF Reentry Program Dallas Leadership Foundation (DLF) refuses to stand back and accept the statistics about the growing prison population in Texas. Through DLF Reentry we mentor incarcerated men and women working in partnership with local churches and organizations that serve the prison population. Operating a pre- and post-entry program through designated dorms in Hutchins State Jail, DLF supports individuals seeking a fresh start by walking side-by-side with them to develop individual service plans designed to help them successfully return to society.

What We Do Since 2001, DLF has successfully developed leaders from within and outside of prison. The goal of our reentry program is to help those leaving prison to return successfully to society and not recidivate. We connect former inmates to resources such as clothing and medical care, provide employment helps, courses on living substance free, and encourage their efforts to reunite with their families. Our prison ministry includes pre- and post-release programs for men at Hutchins State Jail. Within Hutchins State Jail we oversee four faith-based dorms with classes on servant leadership, parenting, budgeting, and more. Upon release, some of the previously incarcerated men that we serve at Hutchins will be housed at DLF’s transitional house, Onesimus House, located within one of our oldest target neighborhoods (Owenwood) in East Dallas.

Recidivism REDUCED to 4.9% compared to the statewide 67.8%

What is the DLF Reentry Program Dallas Leadership Foundation (DLF) refuses to stand back and accept the statistics about the growing prison population in Texas. For the past 19 years, the DLF Reentry program has provided pre-release and post-release services with the goal of helping inmates and formerly incarcerated individuals navigate and remove the issues that lead to recidivism such as homelessness, lack or no source of income, substance abuse, mental health issues, and physical health issues. Operating a pre- and post-entry program through designated dorms in Hutchins State Jail, DLF supports individuals seeking a fresh start by walking side-by-side with them to develop individual service plans designed to help them successfully return to society.

DLF partners with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice to help former inmates overcome barriers to successful reentry.

What We Do Since 2001, DLF has successfully developed leaders from within and outside of prison. DLF’s Reentry Program works with incarcerated men approximately 18 months before their release. DLF manages four dormitories with over 232 men receiving rehabilitation services at Hutchins State Jail in an effort to break the cycle of recidivism in this target population. The program works with these men prior to release to help develop life skills including anger management, fatherhood, financial literacy skills, job readiness, addiction recovery, and other skills needed to navigate reentry successfully. The goal of our Reentry Program is to help those leaving prison successfully reintegrate into society. Each month, the reentry team provides case management and assistance with obtaining essential services to 57 men newly released from prison. Reentry services offered include assistance with clothing and food, medical care, employment support, courses on living substance-free, and encouragement to reunite with their families. DLF serves over 600 individuals through the Reentry program annually. DLF's transitional house, Onesimus House along with other partner agencies provide housing to the men leaving prison who have successfully completed our pre-release program.

TRANSFORM DALLAS 2020 CAMPAIGN TOOLKIT

Transform Dallas seeks to bridge social divides and unite communities. Performing acts of kindness, reading to young children, writing letters to veterans and clearing debris will bridge racial, political and social divisions during the third annual Transform Dallas Citywide Community Service Day on Saturday, September 12, 2020. This year, over 3,000 volunteers will work on more than 250 projects in one day demonstrating help, hope, and compassion without judgment. The projects, with an estimated value at $400,000, expand across geographical and cultural boundaries. Friendship West Baptist Church, Highland Park Presbyterian Church, Prestoncrest Church of Christ, together with Dallas Leadership Foundation, have teamed up to launch the community service event. These core churches have inspired others to join the Transform Dallas movement. Over 100 churches, corporations and community organizations also back this ongoing campaign. Taking care of others and reaching across social and political divides creates solutions to long term community problems and builds the foundation for stronger communities. No one wants to live in crimeridden neighborhoods, suffer from the effects of generational poverty or be voiceless and victimized. A unified church leads toward a unified community. We invite you to step out of your comfort zone with your family, your friends and your neighbors to mobilize. Step up on Saturday, September 16th, and serve food to the homeless, help a veteran, comfort a refugee or paint a house. Volunteer opportunities exist for all skill levels and ages. Together, we will blow out the flames of fear, division and distrust.

Transform Dallas Citywide

In August 2015, several Dallas churches formed an alliance with Dallas Leadership Foundation to create an effective means for church congregations to Subsequently, a core team of churches and Dallas Leadership Foundation launched a community service campaign and called it Transform Dallas. The workday would serve as a springboard for expanding the campaign annually and throughout the year.

The core planning team includes:

With citywide transformation being the goal, the core planning team is initiating a dialogue on the importance of local churches serving the community together outside the church walls. This collective effort will result in thousands of volunteers from different backgrounds working together on over 100 projects in areas such as landscaping yards, painting, cleaning alleyways, and assembling and delivering care packages. During the Transform Dallas workday, local leaders of faith-based and community-based nonprofits will receive needed support and resources. Our core planning team is developing a cohort of diverse leaders to prepare for the work prior to the event. The workday will be held on September 16th, 2020. The strategy is to position unity as a critical component in transforming our city. The overarching theme carried throughout the campaign is:

Why Transform Dallas? Although Dallas County is one of the most prosperous regions in the country, our research shows that not everyone is benefiting from Dallas’ prosperity. In fact, the neighborhoods we frequent, tell an entirely different story. Research suggests that residents living in neighborhoods with 20 percent or more people living below the poverty line experience additional challenges affecting educational opportunities, health, and social mobility. With a 3.3 percent unemployment rate, Dallas is experiencing an economic boom not seen since 2007. However, this prosperity masks the stark unemployment reality for Dallas County’s impoverished neighborhoods. Across the neighborhoods in Dallas County, 16.3 percent of the residents live in poverty. Residents in under-served Dallas neighborhoods are less educated, with 60 percent of adults having obtained a high school diploma or less. In 2016, the unemployment rate in DLF target Dallas neighborhoods was an average of 9.2 percent - almost three times Dallas County’s overall average of 3.3 percent. Transform Dallas Citywide

Honoring the ones that came before, blessing the ones to come: An analysis of Asian cultures regarding the Chris�an’s response to the Lunar New Year By: Rebecca Walton It is safe to assume that our cultural differences blind us from seeing that we have more in common than what divides us. However, when we can see ourselves in a person representing a different culture and ethnicity from our own, we feel exhilarated by the unexpected connection. (Of course, this is subject to your emotional disposition). This year I was privileged to interview several prominent members of the Dallas Theological Seminary family who represent various Asian ethnici�es and cultures about the Lunar New Year holiday. I had no predisposi�on towards the holiday, having only heard of the �tle, Chinese New Year, in passing a few �mes throughout my life. Nevertheless, I desired to gain insight into its historical meaning and learn about the Asian Chris�an cultures and heritages of those who celebrate the world-renowned holiday. What I discovered, quite frankly, inspired me! In corresponding with those whom I will momentarily reference, I recognized God’s providence in our conversa�ons. I walked away from each conversa�on grace-filled— thanking God for His divinely appointed moment of encouragement.

What is the Lunar New Year Holiday? In short, the Lunar New Year holiday is marked by hundreds of Asian cultures worldwide hos�ng community fundraising fes�vals and small family gatherings with food and fellowship. As it is the observance of the end of a season and the start of a new, the holiday consists of tradi�onal ceremonies that bless the youth and honor family elders (both dead and alive). I want to start with a general descrip�on and history of the Lunar New Year holiday. First, it’s not exclusive to Chinese culture. Eastern cultures from all over the world celebrate the Lunar New Year. Centuries before the world uniformly recognized the Gregorian calendar system, Asian cultures followed the lunisolar calendar— (a combina�on of the lunar and solar calendars)—which op�mized eastern agricultural produc�on. It is the day for farmers to rest. China officially named its lunisolar calendar the Agriculture Calendar. Each year the Lunar New Year begins at the appearance of the new moon, which is seen any day between January 21st and February 20th. It marks the end of Winter and the beginning of Spring. This year the Lunar New Year begins February 1st, 2022. The air of the holiday can be compared to Thanksgiving, Christmas, and any other social holiday that focuses on the family; as it relates to family gatherings, gi� exchange tradi�ons, and community social events like parades. Yet, as we all know, not everyone who celebrates Christmas or Easter is a believer in Christ. Others have opposing beliefs and adhere to historical myths and folk tales, which ul�mately redefine the value and priority of the family from God’s divine prescrip�on. Applying this criterion to the Lunar New Year holiday, we see that opposing faiths and ancient beliefs in mythology reveal the contrasts of the season for Asian Chris�ans.

Secular Perspec�ves The Lunar New Year celebra�on is deeply rooted in Asian mythology and ancestral idolatry. The holiday is commemorated with a cultural fes�val marked by two tradi�onal dances performed in several Asian countries, the lion and dragon dance. History reveals various origin stories about the lion and dragon that were circulated through folk stories in ancient eastern Asian provinces under the Qin and Han dynas�es. The lion, not na�ve to Asia, was believed to be a mythical creature like the dragon. When lions started to appear in Asia under the rule of the Han dynasty, they became a revered symbol of luck and prosperity. The dragon was a river spirit. It brought good luck, wisdom, and prosperity. The dragon dance, which is performed in fewer Asian cultures today, symbolizes imperial authority and dignity.

Due to the long-standing religious prac�ces of Confucianism and Buddhism, many Asian families prac�ce ancestral idolatry. Both religions have a similar doctrine that defines dead ancestors as spiritual gods and/or authori�es who provide protec�on and blessing to their respec�ve families. Dr. Richard Hon (ThM 1996; PhD 2015), assistant professor of Bible Exposi�on, states, “I know of many families who clean up their homes to show that they are well prepared for the new year. The parents, especially those who are tradi�onal, will buy new clothes for the children. They come to the fes�vals so that they can be blessed by their family dei�es.” Tradi�onally, in several Asian cultures, children will visit their parent’s home to celebrate with food and fellowship. Some children prac�ce bowing before their parents, grandparents, and ancestral idols in a posture of worship. In turn, parents and elders bless their children with a financial gi� given in a small red envelope. Likewise, single people expect to receive a financial gi� from their married rela�ves in some families, according to Dr. Sam Chia (ThM 1994; PhD 2004), director of Online Chinese Studies and assistant professor of New Testament Studies.

The Chris�an Perspec�ve Alterna�ve to the secular prac�ce of the Lunar New Year, some Chris�an Asians have held on to their heritage of honoring their ancestors and elders and loving their children under the divine prescrip�ons of family and community fellowship as they celebrate. The benign tradi�onal acts of blessing children and honoring family elders are unproblema�c for many Chris�an Asians. Instead of worshiping their ancestors, they remember their imparted wisdom. In addi�on to the money given in the red packets, some include bible scriptures. Other Asian Chris�an families focus on thanking Jesus Christ for bringing them to the start of a new season. These acts are rooted in Judeo-Chris�an tradi�on and supported by bibliocentric perspec�ves. For example, Ephesians 6:2-3 states, “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.” Likewise, Genesis 49:28 states, “All these are the twelve tribes of Israel. This is what their father said to them as he blessed them, blessing each with the blessing suitable to him.” These are just two among many scriptures related to the concept of honoring parents and blessing children. During my research, I asked several Asian DTS faculty and staff members who represent various Asian ethnici�es, “How do you as a Chris�an celebrate the Lunar Year”? In varying degrees, the answers were similar. Dr. Kathy Wu, adjunct professor in Biblical Counseling and Ministry Studies, is Taiwanese. She compared the Lunar New Year holiday to Christmas because it involves family fellowship, cultural food, and gi�s exchanged between family members. She did not recall robust church ac�vity related to the holiday; however, she recalls her pastor preaching sermon about prosperity. She stated, “The Lunar New Year is not that big of a deal in my church. However, I recall a sermon that talked about prosperity as seen through God’s eyes.” Dr. Richard Hon, assistant professor of Bible Exposi�on, is Chinese. He said that the Lunar New Year holiday is family-focused. They celebrated the new start of the season, and he knew of many families who gave bible verses in li�le red envelopes instead of money. Nguyen Nguyen, staff account, is Vietnamese. She stated, “It doesn’t mean much, but as I am going and serving at a Vietnamese Bap�st church, we do celebrate the lunar new year or Tết (in Vietnamese) by gathering with foods and fellowship and sing praises to God.” Voltaire Cacal (CGS, 2010), Assistant Dean of Students and director of the Interna�onal Students Department, is from the Philippines. Being from a genera�on that thrived in the post-Spanish cultural revolu�on, he did not grow up celebra�ng the Lunar New Year. According to Mr. Cacal, Roman Catholicism heavily shaped Philippine culture and eroded many of the East Asian tradi�ons. Dr. Sam Young Won (ThM 2001; PhD 2017), associate director of Ministry Forma�on and adjunct professor, Old Testament is Korean. He expounded upon a common perspec�ve shared among the other interviewees. He comprehensively outlined the history of many Chris�an Asian Americans who grew up as first-genera�on immigrants to America. Without giving a complete account of his perspec�ve, the takeaway I want to highlight is that there is a paradox between those who do and don’t celebrate the holiday. Many first-genera�on Asian American immigrants held a loose affinity for the holiday or stopped celebra�ng the holiday altogether. The trivial mythology a�ached to the holiday and the pressure to assimilate to American tradi�on caused many Asian families to abandon their heritage and tradi�ons. This no�on blew my mind because I did not fully realize that other cultures outside of the African American culture experienced this kind of pressure.

Our Chris�an Commonality Listening to Dr. Won and the other DTS faculty and staff broadened my perspec�ve and brought me closer to rela�ng to those who grew up as Chris�an Asians. Ethnic people groups in America have varying experiences related to priori�zing our heritage, abandoning cultural prac�ces, or integra�ng with Western tradi�ons. These tensions are in addi�on to the pressure that comes from being a Chris�an in a secular world. Our experiences may be different, but the burden is the same. The blessing comes when we can share the burden with others, especially those from a different culture. Many Chris�ans, if not all of us, come from ancient cultures rooted in idolatrous tradi�ons. When they are passed down through genera�ons, they become a characteris�c of our culture; although, the meanings evolve for good or bad. As Chris�ans, we par�cipate in tradi�ons in the spirit of worshipping God, celebra�ng family, and genera�ng fellowship. We hold true to a bibliocentric prescrip�on of family, which includes celebra�ng the wisdom and Chris�an declara�ons from those who came before us and establishing a blessing as a heritage for our children to come.
