The student ministry at CF is convinced that if we are going to reach students, we have to be where they are. One of the ways that we reach into schools is utilizing First Priority. First Priority utilizes Great Commission Clubs in schools to reach students for Christ.
In the last few weeks we've had some major breakthroughs in two local High Schools, Southridge and Palmetto. We received the green light to start clubs in each school. Southridge is well under way and Palmetto is coming along well and should start next week.
We did our first "mission week" at Southridge HS the Wednesday before spring break. Mission week is intended for Christian students to invite their unsaved friends for pizza and a guest speaker to share the Gospel. It happened over two different lunch periods in our host teachers room. All guests are cleared by the school; all of this is done with their approval because it is student initiated and led.
Over 120 students attended mission week and over 30 students made decisions for Christ. We are so amped. There is much work to do.
Praise God, Southridge is so in need of Jesus. Our first visit there we were welcomed by two students who were handcuffed and being put into police cars. Students in the school say it is out of control and chaotic. They want Jesus to impact their schools.
Would you pray for these schools and the many other schools that our ministry is either involved in or praying to get into? There are many thousands of students represented and we are excited to see what God is going to do!
