Last week, the students in this club in FP Blue Ridge faced persecution as they tried to pass out cards, sharing the gospel with their peers. This was really the first time they faced opposition.
This week worked out perfectly, in an odd way. Zack opened in prayer and talked about the persecution received last week. The students helped each other by talking about any new fears after they were made fun of. There was also a rumored threat at school on Monday. Zack brought this up and shared how we have backed down, cowered in a corner for too long. He said we should’ve been using Monday and Tuesday’s threat as an awesome opportunity to share the reason for our HOPE. And even if they missed the opportunity earlier this week, kids will be looking to the “Christians” when all craziness breaks loose as the boy returns to school. It was a wonderful time talking about truly putting our faith into action.
