30 Schools by 2030 = 1,000 Smiling Faces

We have a dream.

A dream to see 1,000 smiling faces in 30 cities. 

A dream to claim the children of our urban communities, to break the cycle of dependency in their generation.  To change the trajectory of their families and their communities to make an eternal impact. 

A dream to engage our children and their generation on healthy platforms so they will thrive spiritually in this dark, twisted, increasingly sinful world. To experience the fulfilling life and rewards of investing in eternity.

John 17:20-23 (ESV)

20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.
