Christ Makes Winners Rally
10-5-2011
This year’s Christ Makes Winners Rally took place Wednesday Oct. 5, and it was completely “off the chain!” We began with hamburgers and hot dogs at 6 p.m. and fed the entire crowd. The rally followed at 6:30 p.m. . . .with live music from several local worship leaders. We also heard several wonderful testimonies from four local students who shared what Christ has done for them and about their involvement in their local FCA huddles on campus. There were several prizes given away, including two IPods, t-shirts, Bibles, and a football signed by both Head Coaches. During the evening, Coach Randy McPherson and Coach Rance Gillespie took the stage to share their faith and information about the game coming up on Friday. Both shared of their trust in Christ and also spoke about the excitement building for the weekend. Our feature speaker for the night was Christian Chapman, a former college and professional athlete. He shared his testimony of salvation and of living the Christian life with passion and boldness. He also spoke about breaking down walls in our lives. He passionately spoke to the audience that the only way to break down these walls was with “living water,” which is Christ Jesus, himself. It was a very powerful and moving message, and many young people responded to the invitation to give themselves to Christ and receive this “living water." It was a great night. Many were saved and many more recommitted their lives to live for Him. Thank you, to all who worked hard to make the rally a success, and a very special thank you goes to Bill New, who produced the event.
