Let me tell you what happened 1Night

We have a special event we do the third Friday night of March that we call 1Night. We rent the Gallatin Civic Center (has a pool, basketball courts, racketball courts, volleyball, etc) and set up food and video games (guitar hero III and DDR) and throw in a couple of deck of cards and have a fun night.

At around midnight, we call them in, we give away t-shirts and cds and have someone talk to them for about 15 minutes about a man named Jesus that absolutely adores them.

This event is geared towards the high school and middle school kids of Sumner County and surrounding counties. It is designed to reach out to the kids that won't ever darken the doors of a church.

Our goal is this......LOVE THEM! If someone gets saved, incredible, but many of them won't listen to the message until they know you love them. So that's what we do.

Last year, we had 216 kids show up and 6 kids testified to giving their hearts to Christ.

This year, we had 287 kids and 63 gave their hearts to Christ.

One of the youth leaders contacted me last week. She said, "We have one girl that just moved to our area to live with her dad. She won't talk to people at the school. One of our kids invited her, she gave her life to Christ, and she didn't shut up the whole way home."
