“In every person God has placed a special calling but to see a young man like Levi stand with those ingredients is inspiring,” said St. Clair County High School First Priority Campus Coach Pastor Scott Ray about student leader Levi Dorsett. “To see a young man serve, challenge and motivate a community, young and old for Jesus is the purpose for the body of Christ. The First Priority club at St. Clair, which is called “Saints for Christ,” has been led by Levi since he was a freshman. In that time Levi has gained the hearts and respect of leaders and his peer group alike.”
Levi has been a member of Saints for Christ/First Priority for the past six years. Along with his commitment to First Priority, he is very involved in different school organizations, his church and missions. Levi has seen his First Priority Club at work first-hand. Over the past several years, the club has grown from four members to about 70. As a leader, Levi invites speakers and pastors to come speak, ensures students have a place to meet and gives the message at times. “I am available to God and I want other students to know that God will use you if you’re available,” said Levi. “We have had a lot of students step-up and help minister to our student body through various outreach projects.” Levi said they stream club meetings live online to reach out to those who can’t attend, created their own Web site, provide breakfast each week for students and teachers, set up a Gospel table at lunch, give out Bibles to students, and they created T-shirts and wristbands as a way to be witnesses on their campus. Foreign exchange students that have gone back to Germany and Japan watch the meetings online.
Levi said God is changing lives on his campus. “Just this school year, there have been 15 lives that I have personally seen turned around and surrendered to God and get involved in First Priority. God calls us to be different in this world. If you want to make a difference, you have to stand up.” Watch the video below to learn more about Levi, this passionate young leader for Christ.
