It has taken a while, but the students are all really buying into the strategy and seeing immediate fruit!
I was at Smoky Hill HS on Wednesday morning, and we had 19 students there for I (Inspiration) week. That is soooo cool to see, because of the struggles in the last few years there.
At Cherokee Trail only 9 students showed up to their Focus week, so Courtney, a junior, told everyone they were going into the hallways to gather up peeps to come to the club. They had no donuts, or juice to entice the students... LOL But they ended up with 30 and Courtney had a back up talk she gave and had new students come to her after and thank her, and tell her they would be back!!
It was Hook week at Grandview High School. This club has been going for a few years now, and I am not sure they had bought into the strategy yet, and we are not sure if any students had come to Christ because of the club. The club was continuing to grow, but just Christian students were coming to the club. Which is good, but at the same time, they were not inviting their non-Christian friends.
New strategy alert: Now before every hook week the students will go into the hallways and invite in students they know, don't know, and acquaintances. They did that at GV yesterday and they had so many students in the room, that some had to sit on the floor! Cameron, a senior, gave the gospel and an opportunity for them to respond, and at least 9 accepted Christ yesterday!!! They did not hand out the response cards to be sure, but have assured me that will never happen again...
Love those kids! God is working in them to reach, their friends, and strangers at school!!!!!!
