924
Are you kidding me?! 924 students… TEENAGERS… on campus last night for our (middle school and high school) outreach events. 182 of those saw our church for the first time. It’s not really about students seeing our church, but about creating an atmosphere that they are comfortable and excited to invite their friends to. And while they are here, they have the opportunity to hear the live changing message of Christ. It was an incredible night - a lot of work - a major headache as a result… but all worth it to (1) have students learning the importance of building relationships with their peers for the sake of meeting the physical and spiritual needs of others (ministering) and (2) telling students about the hope and joy and grace of Christ. “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)
