Thank you so much for those who have contributed so far to our Year End Giving Campaign!
As of Monday December 28, we have just over $10,500 in donations from 52 contributors. This is only 20% of our year-end goal and 40% of the amount we received last year. We don’t want this campaign to “slip through the cracks” or be laid aside in the midst of the blessings & events of the Christmas season, so we ask that you would take some time this week to pray for this campaign and to consider a donation before the year comes to an end. To make it easy you can donate securely online here – https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=9449144
Jim Elliot Christian High School is Opening Doors to Opportunities!
Opportunities truly abound for students who attend JECHS! Let me give a bit more in-depth look at some of these.
- Athletics - Students can currently compete in soccer, volleyball, cross country, track & field, football, basketball, softball, baseball and golf. Not only do they have the opportunity to be a part of these teams they also have the same chance as students in larger public schools to win league and section championships, be recognized in the local newspapers, earn all league honors, play on all star teams and be recruited and receive athletic scholarships to colleges and universities. So what sets Jim Elliot apart in athletics? It the goal of glorifying God both on and off the field, coaches whose primary purpose is to be Christian mentors & godly examples and student athletes who use their athletic talents to shine for the Lord.

- Activities How wonderful it is to know that students have a full slate of social activities that are wholesome, fun, safe and positive. JECHS provides everything from spirit weeks, homecoming, powder puff football and theme dress up days to game nights, creative social events, formals and a prom. Student involvement in these activities is extremely high and the memories made, experiences afforded and friendships formed are priceless.

- Service is part of everyday life at Jim Elliot. Students serve one another as well as the community. On any given day you can find students tutoring other students or working in the snack bar to raise money for student scholarships or volunteering their time to the school. In the community almost half the students are involved in the Interact Club which serves at the Ashley House (home for the elderly), Cancer Kids spaghetti dinner, Special Olympics, Salvation Army and Hale Park homeless ministry (sack lunches), Lodi House for single mothers, Pregnancy Resource Center, Gospel Rescue Mission, Stockton Emergency Food Bank and the Relay for Life.
- Technology The award winning Robotics team is one of the stellar opportunities that is very unique to JECHS. We can say with confidence that students truly expand their world and enhance their high school experience when they join this team! This year they are being provided a “once in a lifetime” opportunity to go to Israel and compete this coming Spring. “It’s an amazing opportunity to go to the Holy Land and walk on the ground that our Savior Jesus Christ walked upon. It also gives us a chance to evangelize and be disciples. This trip isn’t just about competing; it’s also about glorifying God,” says Robotic faculty advisor Tom Bray.You can read more about this amazing trip here.

- The Arts are growing and developing at Jim Elliot and include art classes, ceramics, choir and drama productions. Students also have the opportunity to enhance their gifts through being on the worship or ministry teams. We are looking over the next several years to expand our Arts offerings and we know we can do it through the giving of time, talent & treasure from the JECHS family who have a passion for expansion of the arts at our school!

- Leadership - Every Jim Elliot student has the opportunity to become a leader during their years at our school. Whether it is through student council, starting up or leading a club or Bible study, taking leadership on athletic teams and more! One of the greatest strengths a person can possess is a strong set of leadership skills and at JECHS they definitely have the opportunity to gain these skills
In order to continue to offer, grow & even expand on these abundant opportunities, we count on the generous donations to our Annual Fund from those who believe in the school and its unlimited potential.
- Wouldn’t it be wonderful to expand our athletic offerings, fairly compensate our coaches and build much needed athletic facilities?
- Imagine the great opportunities we could have in the community as well as for our student to develop lifelong skills by expanding and improving our art, music & drama departments?
- Our award winning robotics team is already stellar but how wonderful it would be for them to have a corporate sponsor so they can spend less time fundraising & more time learning technology?
The opportunities that we can offer our students truly are endless in the possibilities. All that is needed is passionate, hard working people with vision combined with action and financial contributions to make it happen!
You are key!
If you have not yet donated to our Year End Giving Campaign please consider making a donation before December 31st to help us continue to provide & expand the opportunities at JECHS.
Blessings,

About 25 JECHS students gathered at the cross on the morning of September 23 to pray for their nation, families, school and peers.

If you ask Jana Flaig-Brummett how she earned the credentialsfor being “number one” for a day at JECHS she will tell you the truth: “I bought my way into the job.”

After six years as the Robotics team advisor and upper level sciences teacher Tom Bray will be taking the trip of a lifetime as he leads close to 30 members of Team 1662, aka “Raptor Force”, to an international robotics competition in Israel in March 2010. This invitation is one that Bray takes personally.
When Elliot competed in Atlanta last year the Israeli General Consul, who was there to visit with the Israeli teams, inquired about the Israeli flag displayed alongside the American flag on the JECHS robot. After explaining that this was his way of showing honor and respect for Israel, Bray received another visit—this one from Brigadier General Asaf Agmon from the Israel Air Force Center, who invited Elliot to compete in Tel Aviv in 2010.
Doug asked, “What’s stopping you?” I said, “$6,000.” He asked, “When are you going to need it?” I told him, “In three weeks.” He said, “Oh, three weeks. I can do that.”
