4 years ago God dropped a vision in my heart to start schools in the inner cities of America founded on the truth and power of the gospel. 3 years ago I visited 6 inner city Christian private schools along the east coast in an effort to learn how different people were impacting their urban communities through Christ-centered education. Among those Atlanta Youth Academy really made an impression on me. I felt something different the moment I stepped into their school. There was hope there. There was joy there. There was even a certain kind of boldness and courage in the kids voices and eyes. The Spirit of the living God was full in that school and I felt him. During my visit I got a chance to meet with the school's principal and executive director and could not help but be challenged and encouraged by their vision and determination for excellence. Before I left they sat me down and showed me their promotion video and I wept like a baby because all I had been dreaming about, of God's promise for our inner city children were being shown in front of me. It was moving. They came out with a new video recently. Here it is.
