I love the dream, but I wish I had your fundraising gift! We've been operating a Christian school in Quebec for 7 years. It's been a long drawnout legal battle just to exist, but we finally got a government permit (without funding) for our elementary school last year and our secondary school this year. We have many commited staff and tons of ideas, but having a hard time covering textbook costs, never mind any other resources. Sometimes I envy the church in the states, where so much support seems to be available. I wish you well in this and all your other visions

I felt the Holy Spirit all over me as I was reading and looking at your school ideas. I too have had dreams, one of which is an alternative Christian school. I am concerned about taking children away from their parents…so often in he church giving the babies up for adoption is the option that is presented to single moms as the best for the child, when in reality it isn't. We scream about abortion, but are never willing to adopt the mother and the child. So that is my only redress.
On the flip side, I am a college professor & English instructor by trade. I am working presently in Portland OR at a school that is referred to as a "Career College." I could comment a lot on what I see about a school charging the highest prices for the poorest members of our society. But, I have met students here who have had parents truly abandon them early on. They have needed homes and parents and support in their lives which they did not have. My heart goes out to them and I wish I could have parented them all! I am a Mom too, and a Teacher. This kids have surmounted incredible odds.
So if you school will give those kinds of kids LOVE and an education, it will be an amazing thing. I would go so far as to say I would love to be a part of something like this.
Blessings. God is up to lots, isn't He!

Hey Shaun,

I believe in your bro. I know it will come to pass in a matter of time. You also may want to check out Bishop Jakes dream for a school fully realized: Clay Academy. http://www.clayacademy.com. Awesome K-12 private school.

I'm praying for more vision in my life and will continue to pray for you. God has given me some things even today that I will reach out to you soon about. Has to do with mentoring, Morehouse, and Courageous Church. As it comes to me and things start to come together here in Dallas, I will be in touch.

Give my love to the family,

Alfred R.

P.S. Did I mention Bishop is opening up his 2nd plant church this year in far North Dallas and it is going to be campus pastored by Sheryl Brady??

WHUT!!!

Sounds AWESOME. Can't wait to send my son there and be that annoying mom that NEVER leaves the school! And if you need a math/science teacher…call me!

You know that I am so down that it doesn't make sense. I have a dream of starting a preschool and then building it all the way through high school. I am so excited about it! Your dream just inspired me to be even more excited! Thanks for sharing and as always I am here to help if you need me.

Awesome dream! I love the part about the church using the auditorium for Sunday service. It is a major break from the Multi-Million dollar church facilities that the well intentioned "boomer" generation Pastors built for Sunday and Wednesday use. If you're ever in Chicago benchmarking schools, let's do lunch.

This is an amazing dream! We need GREAT places for our young people to learn and feel like they are apart of a community that cares about their growth, both as students and also on a personal level.

Shaun, thank you for sharing your dream.
I love it
I have a dream as well, that one day everyone will be connected with a mentor.
Seems crazy, but I believe that if everyone had a mentor things would be different.

Our dreams are much a like and I am very interested to see how your dream plays out and the conversations that will happen on this blog about your dream. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Love your passion and I am glad your life changed 6 years ago today.

Our children need it . . . a place of learning about God first, then all else sounds good to me . . . there are too many kids who don't believe in anything even themselves and I believe you would reverse that especially in inner city kids. Dream big! Dreaming for God's glory is always a +
