IO: What do you do for outreach?
BS: In our schools, many students are very involved in organizations like FCA. I have been able to speak and lead worship at FCA meetings and “See You at the Pole” through these connections our students have made. Many students also teach Bible studies during lunch and hold prayer meetings before school begins. Also, we have students that have a worship service every Friday morning at their school. The greatest thing that has happened at Revolution is a “come see” culture where students consistently bring seeking friends to youth service. We teach the students at Revolution that outreach is a lifestyle and not just an event!
We are not here to rack up numbers that will look good on a stat sheet, and the way our plan of developing young people to reflect the image of God on an individual level is structured, we will not let one young person slip away without a well organized attempt on our part to disciple them to become more like Christ. This is our burden and passion.
