Over 500 students were encouraged to respond to the rallies after the gospel message was clearly presented and response cards were given out.

Tonight, we were able to present a message to Bethel High School Youth Group.  We commended the club members for all of their hard work and for heeding the call that was put on their hearts.  We encouraged the students to get involved and share the gospel with their peers using bible passages such as Matthew 5:13-16, Matthew 9:35-38, and Luke 4:18-19.  We asked them to simply present themselves as believers and be faithful when questions come up.  We also let them know that witnessing and sharing their faith will not be scary–the students in their schools are so hungry for Christ! Our prayer for them is that they continue to pray for opportunities, seek opportunities, and reach out to their peers that are like “sheep without a shepherd.”

Lodi High School:   About 400 students attended the rally today.  Reid, the speaker, asked the students to question where their lives are heading and offered them an opportunity to accept Christ for themselves.  We presented them with fliers that gave the students information about club meeting times, youth group information, and the upcoming city-wide youth rally.  After the rally,78 students turned in response cards.  7 people indicated that they accepted Christ for the first time this week and several others indicated that they rededicated their lives to Christ. There were also quite a few that said that they wanted to find out more information about Christianity from the club members.

Tokay High School: Around 125 students attended the rally at Tokay today.  Pastor Gary talked about his life of partying, drinking and smoking and how he came to accept Christ as his savior.  He explained that after deciding to accept Christ, his life has never been the same.

The Christian club students were encouraged when someone they had presented the gospel to yesterday came to the rally today.  After school, we focused on doing some John 3:16 surveys that asked high school students to explain their knowledge on the verse.

Jim Elliot Christian High School:    After school, the school chaplain and 7 students came to help witness to the students on Tokay’s campus. For 2 of the girls, this was there second time witnessing at Tokay.

Prayer for tomorrow:

→  Please pray that the Lord lays it on the Bethel Youth Group students’ hearts to continue or to start doing outreach on their campuses.

→  Please pray for the city-wide youth rally this Friday and Saturday, that many people are drawn to it and that the Lord works in them through it.

→  Praise God for the hard work that the students have done and their willingness to serve!

→  Pray for the club as they respond to the oh-so-many response cards.

→  Please pray that the outreach doesn’t end here.

→  Please pray that many more get saved tomorrow.

→  Pray for Kelsea.  Yesterday, she expressed a desire to become a Christian from a Mormon background.  Pray that when she meets with us tomorrow, she will not be ostracized from her family and will find a group to welcome her.

May God bless you and keep you!
