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

"Friday marked the last day of the 'I Agree' outreach week at Calaveras High School. 25 community members came to watch and to pray for the students at the school. The Faith Club students were more bold in inviting their friends and were excited to invite their speaker, Darwin, to speak about purity. He began by talking about the love of Christ and how we need Jesus Christ to have a relationship with Christ. He then talked about purity. He addressed both genders in the crowd of about 70 students about the dangers of pre-marital sex, both physically and emotionally. He also stressed the worth of each individual in the crowd. "If I gave you $5,000, would you give it to your boyfriend?" he asked. "What about $50? Then why are you giving him your body like you aren't worth anything?"

Darwin spoke urgently in his message, weary of the prom that would happen Saturday night. He urged the crowd to abstain from parties and sex. For those who had already crossed sexual boundaries before, Darwin explained the forgiveness and restoration offered by Christ. Before the bell rang, he asked the crowd to raise their hands if they wanted to commit their lives to Christ. Over 20 hands in the crowd shot up to make that decision. There were so many that the team had a difficult time counting them. Darwin then asked if anyone wanted to commit to a restoration of purity. Even more people raised their hands..."

Praise God from whom all blessings flow,
