I feel like I’m finally comfortable witnessing to high school students. I’m 25. I could be their teacher.

Could I have done that when I was in high school? I doubt it.

Last month I had the opportunity to join with some Christian club students at Carson high school. They were going to talk to their peers about Jesus and we “old folks” were just tagging along. That day “Andrew,” a high schooler, and I talked with around 10 students, some he knew, about God. Afterwards, I asked him why he did this.

He said, “It’s all about us, others and God. The more I get to know God, the more I want to share Him with others.”

Amen, brother. May I learn from you.

Carson Bible club students with their campus mentor Anne

She is a senior at Lakewood high school. She had grown up Catholic, but had never been shown the saving grace of Jesus Christ.

Last Friday, nine campus mentors stepped onto Lakewood’s campus to witness to the lost.

Two mentors out of the nine were given the privilege of introducing the girl mentioned earlier to Jesus Christ.

Natalie, one of the mentors, said, “’The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.’ I’m glad God is using us as workers.”

Lainey, the other campus mentor who helped lead this young girl to salvation, was eager to encourage prayer for the girl.

“This was her first introduction to Christ.”

Thursday, November 12th, La Habra Christian Club watched over 80 students enter the classroom where they hosted their first event of the year! Brandon, a Christian club leader, invited his youth pastor to speak to students about the gospel. Joel, Brandon’s youth pastor, talked to students about his testimony and how God has transformed his life. The event took place at lunch time and pizza was provided for all the attendees! When Joel completed his message, students were invited back to the Christian Club next Thursday! Christian Club leaders Brandon, Bonnie and Kim are excited to see the students return next week!

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.

And last, but most definately not least, CSP Mentor, Zak, has just been assigned to join CSP Mentors, Aly and Michael, at La Habra High School this school year! Zak is excited to work at with the Christian Club leaders at La Habra this school year!

Praise: Over 80 kids heard the gospel message on Thursday! 8 new ladies have joined the girls Bible Study!

Prayer Request: That  God would continue to develop La Habra’s Christian club leaders and bring more unity between the boy and girl leaders.

Carson’s Christian club is taking full charge! This last week Carson set dates for a teacher’s outreach, a materials distribution day(where theclub hands out Christian materials to fellow students!), and a rally! The Christian club leaders have already recieved approval from the Principle to do all of these events!

Praise: Students are taking major initiative!

Prayer Request: That God would provide a time for CSP mentors and all of Carson’s Christian club leaders to meet this week*

This past week Dan and Melissa, CSP Mentors, sat down at Starbucks with Western’s Christian Club leaders and started to dream together. Dan and Melissa divided a piece of paper into seven sections for the months of November through May while students brainstormed. By the end of the meeting Western students had planned out 4 different events, 1 of which is scheduled before Christmas break! Next Semester students are looking to host a rally focused on God’s  love around Valentine’s Day, distribute Christian materials on their campus around Easter,  and outreach to the seniors at their highschool in May!

Even more recently, Western’s Christian club decided to share the gospel with their student body face to face! Club members and CSP members met after school this Friday and scattered across campus, striking up conversations with students about God!

Prayer Requests: “That everything goes smoothly”- Dan, CSP Mentor

Praise: After a while of trying to kick things off, Western is now meeting with CSP mentors regularly. As Dan puts it, “everything is falling into place.”
