Ollie's Story at Shafter High

"Ollie (middle) helps Shafter HS students with Witnessing Training
 | When I was in high school, Wyatt didn't
attend church, but he told me during the outreach week that he had recently
begun attending church with his father and brother, after his parents got
divorced several months ago. He
said that he really liked what he was learning in church, but it was clear to
me that he didn't really understand much about who Jesus was and what He was
all about.
"I was able to talk with him during an entire lunch period and explain to
him who Jesus was, and why what He did on earth for us was so
important. I was able to answer a
ton of questions about Jesus that he wasn't sure about, and I could tell that
He was thirsting to know more about Jesus. It was an extremely interactive conversation, and Wyatt soaked up everything that I told
him.
"Near
the end of the conversation, I asked Wyatt if the pastor of the church he had
been attending had asked him if he personally wanted to accept Jesus Christ as
his Savior, and Wyatt said that he hadn't, but he was really interested in it. I got really excited, and I asked Wyatt
if he wanted to pray with me for Jesus to come into his heart and life.
Wyatt
assured me
that he definitelyOllie was in Shafter for several days to help the high school students with their Share the Passion outreach.

and he accepted Christ as his Savior,
right there at a lunch table in the quad of the high school.
