21 Days of Prayer

December 11th through December 31st, we are inviting students to dedicate time to prayer for the Gospel Night outreach and revelation concerning our high school campus ministries. At the time I am writing this, December 11th has already passed, but I want to encourage anyone who would like to take part in this focused season of prayer to participate even if you are just now starting!

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. - John 10:10

This is our theme verse focusing on the Gospel Night outreach. The Gospel Night is a student-led evangelistic outreach scheduled to happen in February 2012 in the auditorium of Blue Valley Northwest High School, sponsored by their local FCA. We're currently in the process of developing the leadership team and schedule for this outreach and have launched this 21 Days of Prayer to ask the Lord for guidance and favor in our schools. Our goal is to expand this event into more schools and school districts in future semesters and grow it into a thriving evangelistic outreach in our schools. 

You are invited to pray every day whenever your clock says 10:10 (wherever you are) for revelation and favor regarding outreach and revival in our schools. We are asking the Lord for new vision and ideas for reaching our high school campuses. From now until New Years Day, please pray with us for favor and divine revelation from the Lord as we seek to see Jesus glorified in our schools in Kansas City! You can share testimonies either in the comments section of this blog post or by contacting me or Angela Tsang via Facebook! Thank you!

About the Gospel Night:

The Gospel Night outreach is an evangelistic event in the visionary stages right now. It is a student-led, student initiated event that includes a student-led worship team, testimonies shared by students, a skit/drama performed by students, and an invitation to salvation to be given by a student or connected youth pastor. We are also inviting the partnership of area youth groups to encourage and attend the event to counsel and minister to the new believers that we hope will come out of this event. 

Don't Miss Today

It has been a little while since I was a senior in high school, only 5 years, but I remember the feeling of having missed so many opportunities. It wasn't until my senior year that I actually realized that I could make a difference in the eternity of my classmates, and I had only one school year to make an impact. I was grieved in my heart that I had not been a witness for Jesus in my earlier years, grieved that I had wasted so much time and so many relationships along the way. 

I see many high school students today in the same place, struggling to survive as Christians in a spiritually hostile culture, called to shine the light of Jesus yet dormant out of fear and insecurity. Years go by and souls remain unsaved because the laborers are few (Luke 10:2), and the Lord is calling a generation like he called John the Baptist:

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him.  He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light. - John 1:6-8

I encourage you to not miss today. Our high schools are America's greatest mission field, and any high school student can become America's greatest missionary by reaching out to their friends. Any given day, one student has the opportunity to reach hundreds of their peers if they would answer the call of the Lord to be a witness.

Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the example... - 1 Timothy 4:12
