Christofuture Prep — Strategy
Last Updated: December 23, 2025
Mission
Ignite the Cambrian explosion of Christian education. Schools are prompt engineering for the next generation.
Vision
Build a movement of successful Christian microschools, uncompromising with their values. Christofuture Prep becomes the flagship model that others replicate.
The Thesis
"Schools and education equals prompt engineering for the next generation. This is the main way to take the land back for Christ."
Secular education cannot be Christianized. You can't secularize "get as many people to heaven as possible." The solution is new schools, built from the ground up on Christian foundations.
The Model
San Antonio's Flagship Spirit-Filled Neo School | K-8 | Fall 2026 Launch
- Prenda-powered — School OS, curriculum, TEFA vendor access
- 6-hour day — AI-powered academics + spiritual formation + real-world skills
- Church-based — Distributed pods across partner churches
- Target: 8 pods (120 students) across 3 church partners
Leadership
- Ida Villavicencio — Principal/Superintendent (30+ years transforming at-risk youth)
- Gary Sheng — CTO (Forbes 30 Under 30, Former Google Engineer)
January 2026 Goals
| Goal | Success Criteria |
|---|---|
| Secure Mikey Funding | Mikey commits as anchor funder for Christofuture Prep |
| Fundraising Launch | Begin outreach to other major donors |
| One-Pager Refined | Vision document ready for donor meetings |
| Church Partner Conversations | Initial conversations with 2-3 potential San Antonio churches |
January is about raising money. Everything else follows from that.
Fundraising Target
Total Need: ~$550K
| Component | Amount |
|---|---|
| Pre-launch salaries (Jan-May 2026) | $208K |
| Training month (Jun 2026) | $129K |
| Payment delay buffer | $209K |
After July 2026, the school generates ~$114K annual surplus. Self-sustaining from school year 26/27.
Funder Priority
- Mikey (Mike Ajouz) — Anchor funder, must secure first
- Alfonso's connections — "Giant foundations" in his network
- Church partners — May have designated school funds
- Crowdfunding — For awareness + smaller donors
Unique Positioning
Gary is uniquely positioned because:
- Die-for-Christ conviction
- Tech expertise (can build tools for schools)
- Network of Christian leaders
- Understanding of both education and technology sectors
- Christofuturist vision that integrates faith and future
What Christofuture Prep Looks Like
- Uncompromising values — Christ-centered in curriculum and culture
- Small and excellent — Microschool pods (15 students per guide)
- Parent-involved — Families are partners, not customers
- Technology-enabled — AI tools for administration and personalization
- Church-embedded — Every campus under pastoral covering
Tim Dort-Golts Weekly Review Questions
- Did you make progress on securing Mikey's funding?
- Did you reach out to any other potential donors?
- Did you advance church partner conversations?
- Is the one-pager/pitch ready for meetings?
The Why
"You're the only dude who can pull this off right now."
Christian education is the long game for cultural transformation. Every child raised in a Christ-centered school is a multiplier for the kingdom. This is generational work.
Caution
- January is about fundraising, not operations
- Secure Mikey first before expanding donor outreach
- Don't over-promise on timeline
- First school must be excellent to seed the movement
