			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Steve Russo to utilize ChurchText Pro for 3G The Hangar Experience Student event.  </p>
<p>“Many students who make a commitment may not feel comfortable coming to the front at a large event.  We were looking for a relevant point of connection.  Students can text their commitment in and we can follow up using the CTP system and we can begin the relationship to help them grow.  ChurchText Pro is the perfect tool to help us connect with teenagers.”</p>
