The Gospel Is Advancing—Let’s Keep Pressing In Together!

We want to take a moment to say thank you. Because of your prayers, giving and partnership in the gospel, we continue to see God moving in powerful ways across campuses!

Montgomery High School

Recently, around 25 students packed into the dance room (since the auditorium wasn’t available). What started out as just a change of location turned into one of the most meaningful conversations we’ve had all year.

A staff member talked about a topic students rarely face directly: What is evil, and what does God say about it? Many students tried to defend themselves by saying, “I’m not that bad.” But it opened a door to the gospel. We shared that we don’t come to Christ as people who need a slight adjustment—but as people who need a Savior.

It was the most engaged group yet. Students were asking deep questions, wrestling with truth, and leaning in. God is opening hearts, softening pride, and setting the stage for gospel transformation!

Atlanta Prayer Need

Please pray with us. Our Atlanta club staff may have to change schedules and might not be able to continue long-term. We may need a new team for the Atlanta high school. Pray for clarity, provision, and the right people for this gospel work.

Staying Focused on Christ During the Holiday Season

The holidays are full of pressure, noise, and distractions. Here are simple ways to keep your heart fasted and close to Jesus in this season:

1. Fast From the Things That Pull You Away

Not just food—but anything that dulls your heart:
• Excess screen time
• Comparison
• Complaining and negativity
• Unnecessary hurry

 Jesus said, “When you fast…” (Matthew 6:16)—fasting keeps the heart awake.

2. Keep Feeding on the Word

Even a little every day:
• One Psalm
• One verse on your phone
• Scripture while driving

“Man shall not live by bread alone…” (Matthew 4:4)

3. Protect Your Heart

The holidays can stir stress and old habits. Guard your peace:
• Silence and prayer
• Gratitude
• Quick repentance
• Worship in small moments

The gospel isn’t just a message—it’s a lifestyle.

Partners, thank you again for your generosity and prayers. The gospel is advancing in students because you stand with us. We are grateful for you, praying for you, and believing for even greater fruit in the days ahead!
