Thank you for your help in feeding the huge crowd that came to hear Nate Schwegman speak in the cafeteria last Wednesday, December 5th!
If your kids are the talkative type, they certainly shared with you how amazing the Huddle was! Nate spoke with a passion that had the students keyed in from the very start! This young man shared about his life of money, sex, drug and alcohol abuse. A life he thought he was living to the fullest even though he'd accepted Christ as his Savior as a young child. A terrible car accident, a hard look at his life and the realization that he wasn't being fulfilled living his way brought him back to Christ.
But he told the kids, "being a Christian doesn't mean things will be easy." Shortly after re-dedicating his life, Nate was diagnosed with stage 3 melanoma. He recovered only to fight stage 4 melanoma! "What would you do if you had only one year to live?" Nate challenged. He showed the students his x-rays outlining the several cancerous growths in his body--the cancer that was going to take his life in 6 to 12 months! God, however, had different plans, and after a miraculous healing from his excruciating pain, Nate's next x-rays in April of 2011 showed his body was cancer free!!

The kids were deeply effected by this story, and Nate asked those who wanted the Christ who changes lives and gives hope, to raise their hands! All joined in a prayer for salvation, and Nate closed with a special prayer for those currently going through major difficulties in their lives.
This was another powerful Huddle! Thank you for your prayers! There were some challenges faced to pull this one off, but God is faithful, and He certainly blessed the students (and the parents) who came!
Please continue to pray for the FCA student leadership as they are on the front lines working out their salvation daily. Pray also for our new believers to get connected with a church group or Bible study so they can grow in wisdom and strength. What a great time of year to know the One who gives hope and still performs miracles!
Blessings to you all!
In His service,
