We will explore the age old question "Is Education important for leading God's people?" Some might say that all you need is the Holy Spirit and a little bit of bible and you're good to go.

You have to hear this powerful testimony of "FAITH" in Action. About five years ago, she quit her corporate job. Yep. One day, she walked in and handed her boss a letter of resignation. She had just bought a house, just bought a car, and had no money saved in bank. In fact, she had no plan at all. So what in the world was she doing and why?? She was obediently listening to the leading of the Holy Spirit, moving on faith, and walking into a destiny that she never dreamed possible. Meet Dawn Mitchell…a writer, teacher, and social entrepreneur who has a passion for encouraging and inspiring visionaries to reach an even higher level of spiritual greatness. Her incredible, personal “walk of faith” illustrates how obedience and the willingness to surrender all to God can lead to a life of “light”, destiny and purpose. As founder of Dawn’s Angel Wish Network (www.DawnsAngelWishNetwork.com), Dawn connects people that are in need, with the people/organizations that possess the resources necessary to meet the need. Since 2006, this global resource has operated as a spiritual “adhesive” that binds people together in service, fostering a spirit of love and giving. She is also co-founder of the newly launched Angels Coalition (www.angelscoalition.com), a worldwide effort created to help restore peace and love to distressed communities through utilizing visual imagery that engenders faith and hope. You're not going to want to miss this!! James 2:17-Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works is dead.-NKJV

His joy and passion is to see God's people get to the place that God has called them. He drives himself to re-present Christ in full form to the world at large.
