Answers to Prayer


At the end of last school year, the Lord showed several of us teachers that we have many students who are unreconciled with Him. They are living in sin, gossiping, or simply lost. After hearing all the testimony of what God was saying to my co-workers, I shared these thoughts with the teaching staff at an end-of-the-year meeting and asked them to join me in prayer over the summer.

As a result, many prayed and fasted throughout the summer for the salvation of our student body and an active walk with the Lord. God has since answered.

We've had three weekly chapels thusfar, during which we've shared the gospel clearly: our fallenness, redemption in Christ, and our identity in Him. The altercall this past Friday was amazing. Not only have several students received the Lord Jesus for reconciliation with the Father, but they are being baptized and radically living out their faith.

Sam, a ninth grade Korean, has been reaching out to his fellow students and challenging them to make their faith an impactual part of their lives, not merely a cultural identity. He's discipling two other students and meets with us regularly for prayer, encouragement, and further discipleship. Disciples making disciples.

Please pray for Sam, and others, as he continues to walk by faith.
