Downtown Chicago

This Friday, a team of nine Biola students will come together in Chicago to help students at five public high schools in the suburbs kick off a week focused on sharing their faith with their peers and developing Christian leaders.  These students are part of Christian clubs (Uprising) that are in various stages of development, from those that have done outreach before to one that just became a club a few weeks ago.  It has been exciting to see the students help each other plan and share resources to make the events next week possible.  From January 9-13, Uprising students at Palatine, Elgin, Jacobs, Streamwood, and Lake Zurich High Schools will be going witnessing, hosting speakers who will present the gospel to the school, meeting to pray, and developing plans for future growth.  The kick-off event on Friday will bring all these students together, along with their parents and pastors, to pray and worship together as our team challenges them to share their faith with boldness.

The nine of us are looking forward to the work that God will do in students’ hearts and in the schools they attend!  Please join us in praying that everything that happens on this trip will be for His glory.
