What a week! The week is now finished, we’re definitely exhausted, but God did incredible things in the high schools and community of Lodi.  We came with the vision to network the community of Believers together: youth pastors, Jim Elliot Christian, the local high schools…and we have been blown away by the UNITY God brought this week.  It’s hard to leave, now that our hearts are so connected with these students and churches, but it is so encouraging knowing that the work has just begun.  God is not done with Lodi…this is only the beginning.  The students and youth pastors are already anticipating the next outreach events.  This was not a one time deal…there are hundreds of students who still need to hear the Gospel!

Praise the Lord with us for all that was accomplished this week.  TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

→  Pray that the local Youth Pastors remain faithful to meet together and help the student impact their campuses

→  Pray for the 600 students who heard the Gospel this week, that the Lord would continue to work in their heart
