DAY 1 OF THE RALLIES!!!

SO, can you believe that I am writing this blog from BIOLA area where I had to come back for the night, while I am SKYPING with my team during our team meeting and getting all of the summaries of everyones days??? Technology serving God :) so, lets begin!!

4 of our 5 schools had rallies today! You guys would not believe how God moved….

San Pasqual: Brandon and Tobi went to this school! They brought 20 pizzas, 100 students packed into a small room, benji (the youth pastor of a local church), talked about our obsessions and presented the gospel. 1/3 of the people raised their hands to rededicate or accept Christ into their lives! All of the pizza was gone :) (Tobi got none, he was very sad) They went back after school for witnessing. There were 6 club members that went witnessing with them (4 guys, 2 girls). They handed out materials and had rad talks. Overall, they talked to about 15 people, and two of the club members talked to 4 girls who ALL ACCEPTED CHRIST. They prayed with them and had great conversations about our saviour :)

Esco: Kris went to esco. They began the morning with prayer at 7AM. Their lunch rally had pizza, and they had about 80 people in the stands, and about 20 on the sides of the gym. They played the “line game” (game about acceptance), and it was a hit! everyone played and everyone was into it. Then a student named Chelsea shared about acceptance, and then Gabe (pastor of “the father’s house”) came up and talked about acceptance and gave some of his testimony. After school they went witnessing. 11 students came witnessing with Kris. They talked to about 44 PEOPLE! Kris says that “the kids had a great time, and really enjoyed stepping out in their faith. it was really cool”

San Marcos: Charis and Ryan went to San Marcos today. They prayed at 8am. Next, they went back for lunch and were NOT ALLOWED IN! The school was not allowing Jon Greere (our BMX-er) to perform, and not even letting Charis, Ryan and Jon on campus. Amazingly, a teacher came and just grabbed them and led them on campus and Jon was allowed to perform! He performed and shared his testimony to 78 students (performed WHILE sharing his testimony). He did awesome tricks (jumping over chairs, people and people in chairs on his bike). After school they went witnessing and talked with 13 people. They shared the gospel with 8 of those 13 people, and the Christian club members that came along LOVED it.

Mission Hills: Today at Mission Hills over 40 people went to the rally, and 2 people came up after and verbally told them that they had no knowledge of Christ at all. The 2 people walked away with bibles and a great conversation about Christ under their belt.

Below is a video of Jon Greer performing!!! We didn’t get many pictures of our own today, but are needing to collect pictures from other Christian Club leaders who took them today.

Enjoy the video :) Today overall, there were 320 students on high school campuses in san diego who heard the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ :) God is smiling today! Prayers that we will follow up and help develop relationships and ideas that are starting to form in the lives of these students.

With all our love and prayers and blessings,

CSP San Diego Hometown Crew.

p.s. I (Torrey), had to go back to work today because there is lots to do as my work is a small company that is opening next week. I am really exciting about opening at work but was bummed that I had leave the rallies! But then tonight after work I got a call from my boss that they decided I can leave tomorrow and go back to S.D.!!! SO. I will be there weds-fri. Super awesome answer to prayer for me and seeing God work, as I was prayerful that he would work something out. Just more encouragement from God and working out all of these things for his glory. Such a blessing.

    Yay!!! So exciting to hear how God moved on the different campuses. Isn’t it so neat to know all of this could have been for those 2 students who had never heard about Jesus? I love it! Keep up the great work team! :-)
