There’s so much happening with our Dallas Campus, and the excitement we’re seeing is incredible. We’re expecting a great turnout for our Core Group meeting this Sunday at 9:15 a.m. (Horner Center in the Upper School at Prestonwood Christian Academy). Here’s a video update about our third location.
I also thought you’d enjoy this great testimony from Kimberlee Walters-Sanders:
“I’m so excited about the new Dallas Campus! I started attending Prestonwood over 20 years ago when it was at the original site at Hillcrest and Arapaho. Still single then, I moved to north Carrollton and the new campus was only a few miles down the street, which was obviously awesome. In early 2000, I met my husband and he ‘urbanized’ me by moving us to the Lakewood area. Early in our marriage we still made our way north to worship at Prestonwood. Then, it started to get a little more challenging. Yes, children... That’s when we realized how challenging it was to make ‘that’ drive north for our Sunday morning worship at Prestonwood. Although I couldn’t fathom becoming a member anywhere else, we realized we needed to find another place to worship that was a little closer to our new parent chaos. We started ‘sprinkling in’ some Prestonwood to keep the connection but that was never enough... My family and I will be there the first Worship Service and I cannot be happier. I’m so excited to have you back in my life and my family’s life again on a regular basis. Thank you God and thank you Dr. Graham for continuing to reach out to those you touched so long ago through your ministry. There must be thousands like me down here in central Dallas that feel our prayer has been answered. Hallelujah!”

The Fellowship Of The Unashamed
I've noted this bold declaration of faith before and closed my message, "Unstoppable," with it on Sunday. It's not clear who the author is, but these are powerful and challenging words for every believer. Print it out ... keep it with you ... be a part of the fellowship of the unashamed...
I am a part of the fellowship of the Unashamed. I have the Holy Spirit Power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure. I am finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tame visions, mundane talking, chintzy giving, and dwarfed goals.
I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by presence, learn by faith, love by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power.
My pace is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few, my Guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, deterred, lured away, turned back, diluted, or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.
I won't give up, back up, let up, or shut up until I've preached up, prayed up, paid up, stored up, and stayed up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I must go until He returns, give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He comes.
And when He comes to get His own, He will have no problem recognizing me. My colors will be clear for "I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes."
