HomeTown Trip 

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

Greetings! , 

 

 

The following story is from the Calaveras HomeTown trip. This story can also be found on the CSP blog: http://blog.californiaschoolproject.com/

 

"The rally yesterday at Calaveras was very encouraging, both to the faith club and our team. Dean from Radical Reality, a well-known performer who demonstrates his strength at rallies, came to share about the topic of love with a crowd of about 100 students. "Jesus didn't come to take away your fun," Dean explained. "He came to take away your pain." Dean's message was an explanation of how human love is imperfect, but God's love is perfect and has power. Students had the opportunity to fill out response cards at the end of the rally in which one student indicated putting faith in Christ for the first time. In addition, four other students indicated that they wanted to be contacted by members of the Faith club for more information.

 

CJ, a Northern California youth pastor and Christian rapper, gave an invitation to the crowd toward the end of the rally asking people to come and hear his rapping and his testimony at the Unite service last night. During the Unite service, Dean again came up to speak in front and invited students who wanted to begin a relationship with Jesus to the front to pray. Four people rushed to the front, overjoyed to accept the gift that is found in the relationship with God.

  

 

Lacy and her brother at the Unite Service 

 

After the Unite service, the team found out that one of the people who had gone up to the front was the brother of Lacy, one of Calaveras's Faith club leaders. She met us with tears in her eyes, overjoyed and rejoicing about what God had done in her brother's heart. During the Monday service, Lacy had asked for prayer for her family, as none of them are believers in Christ. She explained her heart for her brother, and Kellee was able to pray with her for him. What an answer to prayer, to see her brother changed within the course of a few days!  

 

Please be praying for both trips as they transition back home this weekend. Be praying for the many new believers who received Christ this week, and for the seeds that have been planted in many who have heard the Gospel."
