High School Missionaries

I just visited Olathe North High School this morning. I joined as a participant in their early morning prayer group that meets daily (praise God) and has met for the last 4 years (praise praise God!). I was struck freshly with the crucial opportunity that high schools present to the church. There is literally no better place to evangelize than a high school. I've been evangelizing on streets and in train cars and in public squares and none of it compares to the opportunity and the harvest that sits every day in high school classrooms. God is specifically highlighting middle school and high school ages because we are entering into a new season of history where the youth will once again be God's catalyst to revival.

As I walked the halls, the Lord put heavy on my heart the supreme importance of high school missionaries. There is no better mission field in America than a middle school or high school. While the marketplace and media and politics are all worthy mission fields, high schools present a specific opportunity to reach students in every neighborhood, regardless of whether or not they attend church. Being a high school missionary is the great missionary calling of our day in America.

High School Missions is not just another good idea, it is a divine opportunity that if missed will result in weighty consequences for our generation. Middle schools, high schools and college campuses must be reached. Will you go?
