This Saturday, Sept. 26 (6-9pm), our two kids will be part of the exciting start of a new movement: InterHigh Christian Fellowship! Their kickoff event is called, “RISE: Take a Stand for Jesus” and will be on the UC Berkeley campus (Pauley Ballroom) with guest speaker, Sean McDowell. Susanna and I were impacted by Sean’s father’s writings, Josh McDowell, who trained up a generation of Christ-followers in the late 80’s. It’s so neat to see his son, Sean, training up this next generation of our kids. And it makes me wonder who from our children’s generation will be next to carry the baton 20 years from now… Maybe one of the kids from InterHigh will rise to that occasion!
If you have any contact with any youth group in the Bay Area (or even Northern California–since I heard some groups even as far as Sacramento are attending), please pass along the link: http://www.interhigh.org
BTW, some youth members are writing articles for their blog and Kristen wrote a piece for it recently. It’s pretty good (of course I’m biased here 😉 ) so check it out!
UPDATE 9/28/09:
Here are some pictures from the event! It wasn’t just “RISE: Take a stand for Jesus,” but rather, “JUMP with the rockin music for Jesus!” My only regret was that I should have worn a dry-fit T-shirt!
