November 11th 2008 -
As our CA tour wraps up tomorrow, we wanted to fire off a quick update so you can hear how God has been answering your prayer for us!
To date we’ve done 7 concerts for over 7000 people (2200 of which are JH and HS students) with 41 indicating decisions for Christ, and almost 200 others rededicating their lives to Christ! Our major message has been to encourage these students to evaluate their standards in dating and relationships, and to put Christ first in their hearts above all else. We thought you’d be encouraged to read a sampling of comments we’ve received . . .
“I’ve been teaching at this school for 10 years . . . this was the best chapel we’ve ever had.”
“You guys made us think again where we are going with our lives. Please come back!”
“Keep doing what you’re doing and keep following God! I have made the commitment to not have sex before marriage!”
“You guys are an awesome band! I love your outlook on dating . . . it inspired me to not date until college also!”
“Thanks – I’ve already decided to wait, and you’ve just strengthened my resolve.”
“I love you guys! Your speech really touched my heart. Also love the music!”
“I’m really glad somebody finally brought the message that you brought to our high school. THANK YOU!” “Your family taught me to have a good and loving relationship with God.”
“I agree with you guys and respect your decisions. There should be more people like you guys.”
“This is the most involved our HS has ever been with worship.”
“I haven’t worshipped in chapel all year, but I was totally jumping all over the place today! Thanks!”
We have our last concert tomorrow for a school of 700 students. Again, pray for the boys as they fly home Thursday and we head to Sacramento for a FamilyLife Conference.
Blessings!
