I continue to hear stories from our teens and workers about the impact God has had in the lives of those who participated in Fallout 2010. Here are a few stories I have heard in the past two weeks:
A student was motivated by her encounter with Christ over Fallout weekend to go home and share the gospel with her entire family, all of whom are lost. They rejected the message, but the student is even more confident than ever and has started sharing her faith at school.
A fallout participant told me that he didn't want to come to Fallout. He wasn't so sure about taking part of something in the 5th ward of Houston. He decided to come anyway and as he watched others share their faith and minister to people on the streets he realized that he had been prejudice toward the people who lived there. They were people just like him and they too needed the love of Christ. God convicted him, he repented, and decided to learn to love others the way God loves them. He showed up at Feed the 5th and served with excellence.
Two students who attended Fallout returned to school and began to engage classmates during their lunch hour. Together they began witnessing to a Mormon student. They are sharing Scripture with him, he is asking questions, and they are seeking the answers he is looking for and taking them back to him. Pray for them as they continue to share Jesus with their classmate.
Another student was convicted about her behavior toward a particular teacher. During Fallout she prayed for God to give her a chance to correct the situation. When she walked into her school the Monday after Fallout, the teacher was the first person she saw. Our teen found the courage to approach the teacher in the hall with others watching. She apologized for her behavior, confessed that she had not honored Christ in the way she acted, and told the teacher that Jesus loves her. The teacher began to cry, hugged the student, and professed her love for Christ to our teen. They made a commitment to work together to share their faith with the entire class before the school year ends.
To God be the glory for all He accomplished that weekend and for what He is doing now as a result of our teens being obedient to His will.
