A Bright Future For Seniors From Jackson Olin High School

Executive Director, Tracy Hipps, charges students to put the Lord
first as they prepare for their future.
One-hundred high school seniors spent their morning serving at CSM as part of their senior week at Jackson Olin High School. We love working with these youth as they are finishing up their school career and making plans for their future! Tracy Hipps, our Executive Director, especially loves this time of year. "Speaking into these students lives as they are making decisions for their next steps in life is such an honor and we love having groups like this at CSM!"

Dion, from Urban Hope Church, shares his story





Dion, from Urban Hope Church in Fairfield, shared his story of growing up in poverty and without a father and how that affected the life choices available to him. He credited a very special coach from his high school days for believing in him and helping to change his life. Without his knowledge, this very coach had come with the students after feeling a prompting in his spirit that he needed to come! For years the coach had been telling Dion's story to students and he was so excited to be reunited! We love being able to watch God work and this is such a special example of how God is personally involved in our lives and wants to encourage us! How sweet of Him to reunite these two in such a special way!
