March Update
February and March have been excellent months. Elizabeth gave birth to Jeremiah Caleb Dawson on February 24 at 3:53am. They are both doing really well; thanks for all of your prayers. We participated in the 4 day missions conference at Grace Church that started on the next day, Feb. 25. The conference gave us the opportunity to share how God is using C3 to change the lives of teenagers. Click here for the video we showed at our booth.
+ students at East Chapel Hill who regularly attend decide to follow Jesus
Students at the various high schools have been giving away cookies to their peers as an effort to reach out to them and show God's love in a practical way. The attached picture was posted on Facebook by someone who is not affiliated with C3, which shows the positive effect the students are having among their peers and how it is spreading.
The sticker that is passed out with the cookies says, "These cookies are like God's love: Awesome and Free." One student who read the sticker made the comment, "God's love isn't free. You have to go to church!" This comment gave our students an easy and powerful opportunity to describe the gospel and who Jesus is, separate from any legalistic understanding we might want to attach to Him. Many students called the cookies, "Jesus cookies" and although some of students said that they didn't believe in God, they still wanted to "eat His cookies."
