Canutillo Seven Project

We had an awesome week in El Paso. It was filled with many challenges. It seems the enemy always tries that last ditch effort to see things derailed. Our God raises the standard. Besides breakdowns and sickness we got to El Paso. We had two school assemblies at Canutillo high school. There were about 800 students in each assembly. It was awesome. We had the help of a great crew. El Paso Teen Challenge, the partnering churches, Travis (Kansas YA Missionary), Josh (Youth Pastor, The Worship Center in Lubbock), Oliver, and Chino. They did such an awesome job. The students were very open and receptive, eventhough they were a little bit rowdy. We had teacher come find us after the assemblies to tell us that the students were talking about the assembly and how the enjoyed it. We talked to the students about Choices, Self Respect, Substance Abuse, Abstinence, Dreams, and Scholastic Acheivement.
That night we came back for the Seven@Night. We had about 100 students come back that night. That was low compared to what we were expecting, but the school administration was surpised that we had that many show up. They said nobody comes back to night events. Of those 100 we had 52 make commitments of faith. It was awesome. It was a great victory for West Texas Seven Project. The administration is ready to endorse us to every school in El Paso. We are making way for the Kingdom in El Paso to help the churches of El Paso to impact their city. How awesome is that? We have more coming up. Stay tuned!
