“Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence on Thee and beg Thy blessing over us, our parents, our teachers and our

nation.”

Economically…$225,000,000 more in debt

Morally…221 abortions (52+ million total)

Politically…anger in both aisles that is becoming rage

Spiritually…50% of youth groups kids who graduate are leaving their faith

SCHOOLS IN AMERICA

53% of the students surveyed said they believed a Columbine-like shooting could occur in their school

AMERICA’S GREATEST NEED:

An Awakening“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land”

2 Chronicles 7:14

KEY FACTORS IN HISTORIC AWAKENINGS:

1. Prayer2. Repentance3. Young people

“There is a mysterious cycle in human events. To some generations much is given. Of other generations much is expected. This generation has a rendezvous with destiny.”

Franklin Delano Roosevelt during the Great Depression

“The next Fourth Turning could end in apocalypse-or glory. The nation could be ruined…Or America could enter a new golden age. A Fourth Turning lends people of all ages what is literally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to heal (or destroy) the very heart of the republic.”

Strausse & Howe from “The Fourth Turning”

WHY IS THE SCHOOL CAMPUS THE MOST STRATEGIC MISSION FIELD IN AMERICA?

99.5% pass through this portal

8 of 10 decisions for Christ are made by 18

Once students leave the campus, they transition to multiple arenas where they cannot be reached simultaneously

The school campus is the “face” of a community, change a campus…change a community

The mission of CYC:Every campus/every day

CALLING STUDENTS TO BE “NEHEMIAH” ON THEIR CAMPUS

“They said to me, "Those who survived the exile and are back in the province are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire.” When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven.”

Nehemiah 1:3-4
