Helping Students Plan Creative Outreach Events
We have a passion to help Christian students share their faith creatively and confidently. Over the past couple of months, we’ve been having a lot of fun equipping and working with students to plan outreach events at their schools. For example, we worked with students at Penn Trafford Senior High and their coach (Frank Audia, youth pastor at Community UMC in Harrison City) to plan their Christmas outreach to the German, French, and Spanish Clubs - you can see a video about this outreach on our website, www.teensforchrist.org. We have worked with several clubs on outreaches to their basketball teams (see back page) including Laurel Highlands, Hempfield, Penn Trafford, and Frazier. We also met recently with students at Gateway to help them plan a movie outreach - they are showing Soul Surfer at their school in February. We were able to challenge other schools with the idea of beginning to do outreaches such as Ringgold High School. Finally, we are working on helping students get new clubs started at Connellsville, Southmoreland, and Plum Senior High Schools. Please keep us in your prayers!

"Christianity has always been a youth movement. As we look over the pages of church history, we find, more often than not, that brave thrusts into the unknown have been led by the young. Can we not see in them the most powerful potential the church has? We must consider the child or young person as a dynamic personality, capable under God of realizing his/her best self. We must lead these souls to the point where they are set aflame with the adventure of serving Christ."
