No Words

That "duuuude!" might need some explanation. For at least two of us on the HP team, tonight was the best of the whole week. We got to visit Amy and Danny's (the students sharing at the rally tomorrow) youth group. First off, it's a 250+ sized youth group at a church of around 600. Brandon, their youth pastor heard about what we were doing yesterday when they asked if they could share with the youth group. Immediately he was ridiculously excited about what CSP is doing. He told us he has been really wanting to make an impact on the schools that the youth attend, but has not been able to do much more than encouraging the youth to share with their friends at lunch.
After an amazing time of worship, complete with sweet action dancers and a crowd at the front rivaling small concerts, I, along with Amy, MJ and Danny were able to share with the whole youth group about what has been going on at Huntington Park High. After the service we set up a table with flyers showing what kinds of things we can help Bible clubs with, and sign-up sheets for any schools that want us to come in and help. We ended the night with EIGHT new schools that want our help and two colleges. We haven't ever worked with colleges before, but during the service, April nudged me and said, "wouldn't it be cool to do this is colleges too?" crazy, eh!
We were so blown away by the heart this church, and especially Brandon, has for the schools in the area. It is so apparent that God is working to bring light to these dark campuses. What else can we say to this but, "DUUUUDE!!!"

"Duuuude" works just fine, so does an index finger pointed up like we used to do in the 70's! We're praying!
