Youth Ministry Working With "The Cause" Friday May 21

Here's 2 events to be praying about today and Friday. 

Brandon Hall, our Youth Director, is working with the "Livin' it" team from San Diego Cityfest to promote "The Cause" to UC High School.   Brandon serves the student run Faith Club at UC High School who is sponsoring a skateboard demonstration at the lunch hour at UC on Friday May 21.  The purpose of the demonstration is to promote "The Cause", a Youth Outreach event that is part of the San Diego CityFest "Season of Service."  

The second event is "The Cause" itself, which will be Friday evening at Horizon Christian Fellowship in North County.  After a great demonstration from some of the top skateboarders, the Gospel will be presented to High School and Middle School kids from all across San Diego County. 

This event is unique from other CityFest events in that it is joining with an event for the Chelsea's Light Foundation.  With the recent tragedies of Chelsea King and Amber Dubios, awareness is being raised by this foundation for how to prevent these things in the future.  But in the midst of this and the publicity is a remarkable opportunity to share the Gospel of JEsus Christ, and so CityFest has been invited to participate.

Please pray today for Brandon's leadership and the students that will be participating, along with anyone else involved.  Pray for the safety of the skaters and that God would use the testimonies to reach people for Christ.

Below is an article from CityFest giving you more information, and also a promo video.

The Cause – CityFest’s 1st Livin It pre-event May 21 

SAN DIEGO’S YOUTH GATHER TO SUPPORT CHELSEA KING AND AMBER DUBOIS

Professional Athletes and Musicians Partner with Campus Christian Clubs to Bring Awareness

(May 4, 2010) – Youth will gather at Horizon North County on May 21 with professional skateboarder Brian Sumner, professional surfers Bryan Jennings and Matt Beacham, NFL player Marlon McCree, and Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher for an evening of music, extreme sports demonstrations, and presentations in support of Chelsea King and Amber Dubois.

The Cause is designed to raise awareness among middle and high school students about legislative and educational reform efforts by Chelsea’s Light Foundation™. The professional athletes will share with students about overcoming tragedy and will challenge them to make a difference in their own communities.  Fletcher will be present in support of Chelsea’s Law, sharing how San Diego’s youth can make an impact.

This event is hosted by Horizon’s I-180, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Young Life, UrbanYouth Collaborative, and Walking on Water, a member of the San Diego CityFest with Luis Palau Livin It^® Team.  The purpose of the Livin It^® Team is to engage youth in their own culture and to meet them in their questions about faith and their role within the community.

The Cause will take place on May 21 from 6:00 – 9:30 p.m. at Horizon North County, 6365 El Apajo Rd in Rancho Santa Fe (92067).  All youth are encouraged to attend.

Blessings,
