Foothill FCA: Crag Darby shares the Most Important Miracle at October 19th Huddle!
With Spirit Week activities going on outside, 400+ students still made their way to the gym for pizza, games, and a speaker!
Three brave souls were willing to play the spin, jump, run, shoot-a-basket game, and yes, they were quite entertaining! (See Huddle photo album link below.)

Engaged and intrigued, the crowd was then introduced to Huddle speaker, Creg Darby, from Free Chapel Church in Irvine. Crag recalled how tough the high school years can be, how often it seems that only a miracle can help save a grade or a relationship.
Using the story of Lazares' resurrection as an illustration, Crag pointed out that Christ alone has the power and authority to do miracles. Crag then connected Christ's ability with His desire to do a miracle in our own lives--whether it's helping students succeed in tough classes (like Crag's 3-time favorite...algebra), or restoring broken families, or most importantly, knowing God and allowing Him to change us. He asked the students, "Who needs God to work a miracle of change in their life?" Several hands went up, and Crag invited them to join him in a prayer of salvation. The gym got very quiet, and the only sounds heard were those voices repeating Crag's prayer.
The fact that Fellowship of Christian Athletes is WELCOME on Foothill's campus and can boldly share the TRUTH of the GOSPEL during lunchtime is indeed a major miracle! But the greater miracle is the lives that are touched by God at these Huddles. We don't always know who is responding to the Gospel, or what seeds are planted, or who is even hearing about Christ for the first time, but the evidence of God's blessing on these Huddles is too great for us to doubt that God is at work on our campus! We are reminded of His promise in II Peter 3:9; "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."
Thank you for your prayers and support. May God be glorified, and may we see everyone at Foothill come to know Him as Savior and Lord!
Humbly,
Linda and Cherie
