Middle-School Evangelism Miracle!

We never would have imagined that this season we would share the Christmas message of Jesus Christ at a public Mexican middle school- but we did! 

 

A lady from a Tlaxcala church that is participating in

“Operation Christmas Child” is a teacher and counselor at a public middle school, where she has seen the great need for Christ among her students (many come from problematic home situations and even cut themselves).  She gained permission from the school director to plan an “Operation

Christmas Child” event at the school for these “high risk” students.  And she invited our Samaritan’s Purse team to attend and assist!

100 middle-schoolers gathered for the event- which included worship, a video, and even a

testimony from one of the students who had recently accepted Christ into his life, along with Bible verses in a PowerPoint presentation he had created.  I marveled that a middle-school boy would stand before his peers and share his life transformation in Christ (an act that many adults would not

be brave enough to perform!). 

At the end, we reinforced the Christmas message (that Christ is our greatest gift of all!) and gave a Christmas shoebox and New Testament to every student.  They were thrilled!  May the Lord bring salvation,

hope, and transformation to the lives of each of these troubled youth!
