Q: What is C28?
A: C28 Christian stores offer an alternative to mainstream mall stores. The products reflect a clean and positive Christian lifestyle. C28 stands for Colossians 2:8
Q: How did C28 start?
A: Traveling through Victorville, Aurelio and his son "JR" ran into a store called "Christian 'Head-shop" The store was oozing cool. The Lord then led them to reach the youth in malls across the country with the gospel of Jesus Christ!
Q: What happens after a person comes to Christ in a C28 store?
We give them a free bible and refer them to a local church. We also ask them to join a bible study. Like Phillip's encounter with the eunuch, we pray the Holy Spirit and and the bible will disciple them. Acts 8:26
What are the positive effects of mixing fashion and faith?
Christian "Witness Wear" conveys a clean and positive lifestyle, encouraging people to share the gospel with others.
Do people wear the shirts with the right message in their hearts or just for the "cool" factor?
In either case, the Lords word (scriptures) never returns back void.
Why do C28 stores look worldly?
While C28 stores are relevant to youth culture, C28 stores are bold about Christ! They are a place of evangelism, discipleship, fellowship and prayer!
Does C28 donate any profits?
C28 donates 10% of earnings to evangelical outreach ministries.
Are you making money off of teenager's need to fit in?
Our bottom line is that 11586 people have received eternal salvation, accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior!!!!!!!
Jesus knocked over the tables of the "money-changers" at the marketplace. Would He do that at C28?
They were conducting commerce in their place of worship, and on the Sabbath. In addition, the money changers were also defrauding the people by using rigged scales.
 
Why are you open on Sundays?
Jesus said if someone needs help on the Sabbath, then help him. Believers are not bound by legalism but live by grace.
Why do you mix business and faith?
It was the Greeks who separated the sacred work from the secular work (business). The bible says to do everything as onto the Lord.
Why are your prices high?
We operate in malls with very high rents. Our prices are the same if not lower than other mall stores.
Why is there a focus on store sales as well as ministry?
We must pay employees, the mall, and suppliers. Without sales, the C28 ministry cannot continue nor expand.
Can you franchise a C28 store?
C28 is currently offering Franchise opportunities. For more information, please visit the C28 Franchise website.

Is there a story or stories that have impacted you from the stores, outreaches, or other?

The changed lives! People that now have a hope, a promise and eternal life! People that are now alive in Christ instead of committing suicide!!! 

C28 is now sponsoring bands, can you explain how and why you are doing this?

We sponsor bands like "Seventh day Slumber" because they are bold about Jesus, preach the gospel and lead thousands to Christ at their concerts. We are sponsoring about 12 Christian bands!

What is the greatest lesson you have learned from God, people, and life experience? 

If it were not by God's grace, I would not be here today. By god's grace I was pulled out of the pit. The grace of Jesus Christ is ever present. His love and kindness is never ending. I am grateful to Jesus for his sin sacrifice on the cross, so that all who believe in him can be saved!

How has the company grown from the first year to now? Did you expect this growth?

By Gods grace we have 3 companies now! God willing in 2008 there will be 13 c28 stores, a growing NOTW clothing company wholesaling to other retailers, and an international C28.COM online business.  To God be all the glory!!!
