Good Morning FCA Families!!
Its hard to believe that we are down to our last few Huddles. Our last huddle was so awesome!! Here is a quick recap...
30 Pizzas and 4 cases of water were quickly dispersed among the students as they filled the game gym. The Huddle started off with a quick game and then our speaker was introduced to the kids.
Our speaker was Chad Williams, a Former Navy Seal. He is currently part of Harvest Church in Irvine. Here is his testimony on video: http://www.harvest.org/crusades/testimonies/navy-seal.html
“Chad spent the first 5 or 10 minutes sharing with the about being a Navy Seal. He also shared how he had lost some great friends. He reminded the kids, that freedom is not free....and how Jesus told us in the bible, that “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends”. Chad told the students about how these great Navy Seals had laid down their lives for others, for us, so that we can have freedom. You could tell that the kids understood this sacrifice and nodded their heads in gratitude. Chad then made the connection to these acts of sacrifice and love, to what Jesus did for us on the cross. He challenged the students to think about the cross and what Jesus did with the same gratitude they had felt earlier. That Jesus died so we don’t have have to go to hell, that we can make a choice to accept this free gift. Chad asked kids that wanted to make a decision to receive Jesus, to stand. More than a dozen kids stood...in front of their peers....and prayed with Chad. :) Chad had bibles on hand to give to anyone who wanted one. It was an amazing huddle!”
The leadership team also presented Pink Roses for Mother’s Day to the Moms in attendance. So sweet.
Our Huddles of course could not happen with out the support of our wonderful parents:
