David Plappert is a salesman of the future.
For this 15-year-old student at the Math and Science Academy has already raised $1,200 by selling an unlikely product — dots.
That’s pixels, to the more computer-literate among us; but regardless of the vocabulary used, the task facing Plappert — to reach a grand total of $10,000 — is an impressive one.
He’s selling ads made up of a set number of pixels on a web page he has created especially for this fundraiser, to bring in cash for missions organized by the Sheaves For Christ program of the United Pentecostal Church.
And according to Jeff Marchand, the president of the Minnesota youth section of the church, Plappert will succeed in achieving his target.
“Minnesota as a whole traditionally will raise $40,000 in a year,” he said.
“David has established the goal of raising $10,000 himself; it shows you how great of a goal it is — and he is going to reach it.”
Plappert, who lives close to Royal Oaks Elementary School, says he found himself inspired to set up the website — www.MillionDotsForChrist.org — after attending a service on the work of Sheaves For Christ at his church, the First United Pentecostal Church on Hudson Boulevard in Oakdale.
