Thanks so much for your prayers!!!  Fremd & Palatine high school held 12 total rallies last week during which 9 students accepted Jesus Christ for the very first time & at least 70 re-committed their lives to Christ!

On Friday, Fremd saw answered prayer - Friday Fremd rally.  42 re-committed their lives to Christ & 3 accepted Christ for the first time just on Friday, just at Fremd!  At Palatine HS saw some crazy results like that too.  One of the rally days at Palatine HS saw 14 decisions for Christ!  At the first session, 33 attended, 4 recommitted their lives to Christ, and 3 accepted Him for the first time.  At the second session, 10 attended, 5 recommitted their lives to Christ, and 2 accepted Him for the first time.

Not only did God work in the lives of non-Christians, but in the lives of the Christians as well.  Heather & Cassie from Palatine HS as well as Katie & Abby from Fremd HS planned, organized & executed the entire outreach week at their schools.  Heather explained that this past summer she had been praying for a way in which God could use her.  With a big smile, she exclaimed,  “This outreach was God’s answer to prayer!” The CSP team simply assisted the high schoolers and provided the tools to exercise their passion.  Katie’s mother, Leigh, emailed,

“You are such a blessing to these high schoolers!  Katie has found a true passion for evangelism through this experience and has grown in too many ways to even count.”

There was immeasurable success in the spiritual growth of the Christians at Fremd & Palatine high schools.

Michael Cunningham, CSP team member, created a video which re-caps the outreach week of Chicago Hometown Trip in Palatine.  Check it out here. The video gives great insight into the events of the week & what the rallies looked like.  Chicago Hometown Trip

Thank you for your prayer & financial support!  Palatine area residents, thank you for feeding us, praying with us & housing us!  You have been a blessing to me (Lainey), to the CSP team (Ariel, Kolby, Cassie, Michael C, Jessica, Michael T, Justin & Lainey), to the student leaders (Heather, Cassie, Katie & Abby) and to the high school students in Palatine, Illinois.  God is still working mightily in the missionfield of the public high school campus.
