Along the journey to become the principal of Cornerstone Crossroads Academy, I have been blessed to meet and learn from fell0w-travelers who are pursuing God and serving kids in our community.
Yesterday was especially uplifting, as the Becketts, Jill, Joe, and I met with about 35 leaders from ministries and businesses to consider how we might enhance the experience of our students.
Dear brothers and sisters shared their stories and encouraged us in 3 main areas:
1. Develop relationships with business leaders in South Dallas who might provide opportunities for our students to work during and after attending CCA.
2. Expose students to areas outside their community through mission trips, community outreach, and connections with supporting churches.
3. Connect each student with a mentor who will build a life-long relationship to live out I Thes 2:8. "We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us."
We were thankful for the reminder that God is at work all around us and we were spurred on to pursue these three key areas, so that we might better serve the students God will surely send our way.
