Good Friday at Willow Canyon
“Good Friday is today. It’s when we celebrate the death of Jesus.” That’s a paradox anytime, and even more unexpected to hear at a public high school.
But today, Willow Canyon celebrated Good Friday.
All week long the students shared Jesus with their friends. They explained how you can start a relationship with Him, get back on track after falling away, and ask questions to learn more. And the best thing is that the message has sunk in.
Yesterday 5 students prayed to receive Christ at lunchtime.
2 days ago, a freshman named Chris rededicated his life to Christ. He says he was getting off track and neglecting to read the bible, but when a club member share the 4 spiritual laws with him, something clicked and he made a decision to pursue God again.
Some girls have been coming all week. They’re not Christians, but are listening, seeking to know more, and God is working.
All of these students came back again today – Christian club members, new believers, and seekers – and heard the good news of the death of Jesus put on display in clear and powerful words as a local youth pastor spoke.
Because so many of them had been here before and came back, it was obvious that God was drawing them. He is at work in their lives, and working through the SOAR club at Willow Canyon.
Because of that, when we all got together and listened to the good news of Good Friday, it was a celebration.
