[Below is the transcript of the video]
Hey Everyone,
With our third school year well under way, we are seeing God work in the hearts and lives of students. New communities at Carrboro and Jordan are gearing up and our established groups at Hillside, Kestrel Heights, Pace Academy, Chapel Hill High, and Woods Charter are thriving. Pace Academy, a charter school of about 100 students, has averaged a weekly attendance of 20 students this first month. Our Pace Academy C3 student leader, Andres Villegas, has seen a dramatic change in his classmates through our Jesus-centered community.
Andres describes the affect C3 has had on Pace:
"I think right now God is moving in people's hearts and minds. I think he is doing something big. He's changing people's lives. And He is really, really trying to change all of Pace Academy. Not only students, even teachers. He's really trying to show himself off at Pace Academy. Just the other day I was having a conversation with a friend; he feels like God is moving in his heart, for real. Definitely I see that there has been a lot more attention on God, even if it is negative or positive. A lot more attention on God. A lot more attention on Jesus. I guess you can say people are asking me about Him. People are asking me about Jesus Christ. And people are definitely asking me about the difference between a relationship and a religion."
You can see Andres' personal testimony at C3's youtube channel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaoKrM171Wo
We continue to see administrators and teachers welcome us despite the difficulty other christian organizations have in this arena. So, thank you for your continued prayer support. Keep praying that more opportunities open for us to minister and share the gospel.
Currently, we have over 20 students in regular discipleship and are asking Jesus to bring more so this generation will confront their culture with the Cross. Please ask with us. Also, we are still looking for more C3 leaders who are called to go to high schools campuses and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Please pray that the right people step up and join with us.
Thank you for your continued financial support. It makes a huge difference in the lives of the teenagers we minister to. In August, 24 supporters donated $3,000 and in September, 23 supporters donated $2,130.
This fall marks a big athletic landmark in Dawson family history. Jilas has joined an under 4 soccer league and I am the coach. It is a true joy trying to organize 3 year olds.
Aidan is walking and laughing everywhere and Elizabeth and I are preparing for our third child, who is set to arrive February 24.
Also, I am excited to announce that on October 18, I will be ordained by the Grace Church overseers and elders.
Thank you for your continued support of my ministry through your prayers and donations. We are truly blessed. Without us joining together we couldn't make this great impact in the lives of teenagers.
