Students at La Mirada High School

A lot of the time, high school students don’t have much to say when you mention God. That’s why I love talking to students who ask thoughtful questions about God. John (name changed) from La Mirada high was one of those students.

After Ben and I explained what we believed, John asked, “Why did God create anything in the first place?”

We explained that God had such great love that He wanted to share with more people. This didn’t quite make sense to John. He told us that the emotion of love made God too human and less powerful. He understood the idea of God as the most powerful Being in the universe, but couldn’t grasp that the same Being could love us individually.

That’s the thing about Christianity. It reveals the Almighty loving God to humans who can’t imagine love and power being in the same room, let alone the same God. You can sit in a philosophy or theology class and discuss the attributes of God, but, for me at least, it took a conversation with a seeking high school student to really appreciate the love and power of my Savior Jesus Christ.

We handed John the high school student a Gospel of John booklet after our conversation. Pray that he too will meet the living God of love.

It was a busy day for Shurr High School as the students from BASIC (Brothers and Sisters in Christ) put on a short skit as well as had a student testimony. During and after the rally, BASIC passed out about 50 materials to fellow students! 50! Since it was the first day of Share the Passion, I’m sure there’s a lot more great stuff coming from Shurr High School. Keep up the good work!

DaVinci High–Pray that the campus mentor Juana would be able to meet with the Christian club that is looking forward this semester.  The administration was debating on whether to allow the religious club, but praise the Lord this will be the Christian club’s first week meeting!  Pray for the strength of the young club.

CSP mentors have not been able to meet with Whittier High School’s Christian Club for a sufficient amount of time. Pray that during the time of waiting, God will be developing strong leaders in the Christian Club of Whittier High School. Also, pray that God would do a work in the CSP leaders that eagerly wait to help Whittier’s Christian Club.

South El Monte’s campus mentors, Aubrey and Brandon, still have not been able to meet with the students again because of schedule conflicts.   The advisor may not be understanding the need for the campus mentors to directly mentor the students.

+ Please pray that Aubrey and Brandon would be able to meet with the students.

+ May the Lord be working with and building up the leaders in the Christian club!
