This Could Be the Great Awakening!

We’ve all heard about how young people are turning to Jesus Christ! This is the revival we’ve been waiting for. The assassination of Charlie Kirk has caused all of us to look again at what God is doing now in the USA with young people.

Genesis 50:20 says, “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” AND MANY LIVES ARE BEING SAVED!

I am personally getting reports of large numbers of school kids attending Christian events and being saved. Here are a few of the stories:

FCA in Yadkin County has had triple their number of kids and many are being saved during meetings at their schools. These are public schools. First Baptist, Cary reached out to the Cary High School football team and 11 were baptized at a football practice in October.

Many churches and groups are reaching out to East Carolina University. Even a frat house hosted an evangelistic event in September. Hundreds of students there have accepted Jesus as their Savior.

At the Fields of Faith event in October at Southwest Edgecombe High School in Pinetops, hundreds of students came and heard the gospel and believed in Jesus Christ.

In the Union County public school system, 9 prayer walks have been held so far in 5 different schools through Heart for Monroe. In addition, they have given out Bibles, food, clothing, prom dresses and sponsored weekly Bible studies in those schools. They plan a total of 11 Prayer Walks in 6 schools this year.

Cherry Point Baptist Church in Havelock started Heart for Havelock as a result of training we did in that area in June. They are volunteering in local schools and sharing the good news in many new ways.

Numerous churches held Teacher Appreciation events in May during Teacher Appreciation Week to show that local Christians love them and support their work. Many additional churches provide lunches and snacks for teachers during the year, especially on Teacher Workdays.

A good number of churches are tutoring students through math or Reading Buddies programs.

Look how God has opened the doors to ministry in our schools! Some of the staff will even hold the doors open for you when you walk in to love on their kids. You are invited to show Jesus and volunteer wherever you can.

I want to ask you to consider going to your church and asking them to pray about this wide-open opportunity to share the love of God in your school. Pray and then talk with your pastor. Gather teachers and volunteers in your church to find new ways to step into this ministry.

If your church needs training, we have a team of people who can come and help you decide the next steps in being a witness there! Come connect with us!
