Dear Foothill FCA Parents and Supporters,
Carl F. H. Henry, former editor-in-chief of Christianity Today, once said, "The Gospel is only Good News if it gets there in time."
Carl F. H. Henry, former editor-in-chief of Christianity Today, once said, "The Gospel is only Good News if it gets there in time."
These are especially meaningful words in light of the "Every Fifteen Minutes" event that preceeded the FCA Huddle this past Wednesday, April 6th. "Every Fifteen Minutes" very graphically re-enacts for high school juniors and seniors the devistating effects of a fatal drunk-driving accident--something that statistically occurs every fifteen minutes.
To have our speaker, Clint Gresham of the Seattle Seahawks, follow this event by sharing his grief upon discovering his friend's suicide; struck a chord with many of our students. Clint thenshared two truths that changed his life:
1) God doesn't want us to stay away from sin because He likes to take away our fun, but rather because He loves us and wants to protect us from harm.
2) God showed how much He values us by sending His only Son in exchange for our lives!
It was a very quiet and attentive audience. There were broken hearts and tears--evidence thatFoothill is a mission field with a harvest ripe for Christ.

Please continue to pray for these students! Many are coming in for the pizza, but they are staying and hearing the Gospel. They need the understanding and courage to take the next step--to cast themselves aside and ask Christ to be their Savior and Lord!
Thank you for choosing to be involved in FCA as it shares the Good News on a public school campus!
To God be the glory!
Blessings,
Linda and Cherie
