“A journey of a thousand miles begins with one s “A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step." Lao Tzu

Yesterday our newest class of Daniel Scholars officially joined the Pursue family! After signing the Pursue Covenant Agreement our scholars got a chance to engage with each other and with Pursue Staff. We all know that it takes a village to pursue success. That is why we at Pursue Scholars are blessed and grateful to have the chance to be a part of each of these scholars' villages as they embark on their next chapters.

We’re walking 197 blocks across Chicago! Are we We’re walking 197 blocks across Chicago! Are we crazy? Maybe. Here’s why we’re doing it and how you can join…

Three years ago, Pursue Unity was born. During challenging times with uncertainty all around Solomon Dixon presented the idea to walk from one end of Chicago to the other. Why, you ask? To holistically invest in Chicago’s young leaders. Starting in Beverly and ending right before Evanston, a small but mighty group walked 197 blocks raising $100,000 that supported the delivering of care packages, scholarships, and a plethora of other tools and services aimed at giving our scholars the best shot at success we possibly can. Since then this event has only gotten bigger and so have our goals. 

Join Us! On June 3rd as we once again walk to Pursue Unity, Pursue Change, and Pursue Success for our scholars!

Our latest campus visit was a success! We crossed a lot off of our bucket list and managed to fit it all into a 7 hour visit! Our new partners at Trinity Christian College were a huge help in making that happen but the real MVP’s were our latest  scholars. They showed up and showed out in every way possible. From speed interviews to group challenges to facing evaluation after evaluation. Our newest scholars truly embodied what it means to #Pursuethefuture. We are beyond excited to see what these leaders will accomplish in the coming years!
Let’s celebrate, he has risen! 
 God is holy. Let’s celebrate, he has risen! 

God is holy. He is perfect. We are not perfect.
God is just. He is always fair. We are not just in all our decisions.
God is omnipotent. He knows all there is to know. We are not all-knowing.
God is sovereign. He is in control. We are not in control.
God is love. He desires a relationship with us; that’s why He sent His Son. We do not love others perfectly.
