The Christian club students were so excited about sharing their faith individually with their peers that they decided to “share their passion” for Christ by witnessing after school every day for a week.

La Habra Christian Club with CSP Mentor Dan

In total, the club shared the gospel with 174 students and 4 made decisions to accept Christ. In the words of Brandon, the club president, “‘Share the Passion’ week has been AMAZING!”

Michael, the Biola Chapter Director, explained, “Usually high school students will go witnessing once or twice, but this much dedicated student witnessing is something I haven’t seen. It was awesome!”

Dear prayer partner,

We are thanking God for a good week of ministry and fellowship, with each other and the students.

At Cal High’s rally, a Biola student named Fwas shared a deep message with 50+ students.  God had had truly filled the gap in his life, even after abuse, suicide attempts, thievery, and drugs.  Campus light students took initiative by giving their peers 40 tracks, 40 Gospel of John books, and some “The Case for Christ” DVDs.

Fifteen students from four schools were encouraged about the impact they could make on their campus when they met with some mentors at Troy high school.  Sharing Jesus in personal evangelism went well at Fullerton and California High.  Though some students were indifferent to hearing about Jesus, others appreciated taking spirituality seriously.

Really, the work at the schools we have worked with has just begun, and the main work we have done is to open up horizons for a life of outreach for the students. We are praying for God’s continued work at La Habra, California, Western, Fullerton, and Troy High Schools and their student leaders.

Thank you for partnering with us in your prayers.  We understand that spiritual victories are accomplished by spiritual means, and prayer is an essential part of developing leaders to make an impact for Christ.

Psalm 89:5 Let the heavens praise your wonders, O LORD, your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones!

It is good to participate in God’s good work!  Cal High’s Campus Light students invited one of their youth pastors share his testimony at their first rally this year.  He shared with 50 attentive students how God had saved him from being a drug-using sex-addict.  At La Habra High’s second rally, Pastor Chris McCulluck shared insights on the apostle Paul with another full house.  He clearly but genuinely presented the gospel.  Additionally, the club distributed a hundred more tracks and Gospel of John books.  Students asked for prayer after the rally and want to initiate a monthly Bible study.  God’s word and truth had impact on both campuses, making the rallies a success.  Praise the Lord!

Friday is perhaps the biggest day of campus involvement this week.

• Cal High is hosting another rally.
• CSP Mentors are meeting with Troy High School for the first time to share what students can do and how we can help mentor them.
• We pray for the Lord’s empowerment as we share Jesus in personal evangelism with students at Cal High andFullerton High.

It has been a blessed week, full of God’s workings even as he works in unseen ways.  We desire to finish strong.  Thank you for continuing to bring these outreaches before Father God in your prayers!

Sincerely in Christ,

~Team January Project

Dear prayer partner,

The January Project has begun–a full week of CSP ministry focus and outreach, praise the Lord!  Students made posters and shared plans for an exciting week of rallies at La Habra and California High Schools.  Students will promote their rallies on Tuesday.  The rallies launch on Wednesday!

The Campus Light club at California High is amazingly self-motivated and unified. Please pray that their enthusiasm for spiritual things would continue when as they share Jesus with their peers every day for the rest of the week.  La Habra high is doing great!  Pray for boldness.  Students from both schools are sharing Jesus with their campus tomorrow in personal witnessing. It’s our prayer that God would open the hearts of students, to do this spiritual work by His Spirit.

Thank the Lord with us that schools are ready for a week outreach!  We pray it would be life changing.

Romans 10:14b-15 “And how are they to hear without someone preaching to them?  And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, ‘How timely is the arrival of those who proclaim the good news.’”

Bonnie and Kim, student leaders of La Habra’s Girls Bible study, have been advertising the Bible study everyday this past week over the morning announcements! This past Tuesday, November 17th, 8 new girls attended the Bible Study! This is a direct answer to prayer! Bonnie and Kim are excited to get to know these young women as they study and discuss the Bible together weekly.

The students are planning on hosting these speakers at their club before Christmas break to build momentum for (bigger!) Spring events! That includes January Project and possibly a rally for the whole campus to attend!

What’s January Project? A week full of activities that take place at multiple high schools in the L.A. area. These events are geared to impact over 1,000 high school students, more specifically, to share who God is with over 1,000 students.

Club leaders, Kim and Bonnie, have taken the initiative to start a weekly girls Bible study! Recently, Kim and Bonnie had about twelve girls sign up, and will be begin meeting this week* Kim and Bonnie are also creating flyers to make sure that every girl on campus hears about this Bible study!

On top of all that, La Habra has just been assigned an additional CSP Mentor! All welcome Zak! Zak is excited to join forces as a Mentor with La Habra High School students alongside of Michael and Aly(CSP Mentors).

Prayer Requests: That students will continue to improve in planning and continue to grow in their walks with God, continually asking God for provision; That students would not get distracted by great events, but remain focused on impacting their campuses for Jesus Christ.

Also, for direction in the girl’s Bible study. They are currently asking God what topics they should discuss.

Praises: Amazing student initiative taking place as far as guest speakers, an anticipated spring rally, and the girls Bible study!
