Where were you on Sept 27, 2009?

We were at RISE and it was AWESOME! Hundreds of Christian youths from all over the bay area came to the UC Berkeley Campus to attend “RISE: Take a Stand for Jesus”. The music was blarin’, youths were singing at the top of their lungs as the praise team led all of us in an incredible time of praise. Soon after, the well-known, veteran apologist Sean McDowell, urged us to critically think about the gospel truth and its relevance to the non-Christian world.

Then four youth students presented a hilarious and poignant skit portraying common difficulties that teenagers face with their Christian identity. With these issues in mind, Pastor William Kang explained that Interhigh Fellowship was launched in order to provide the needed worldview and apologetics training, college mentors, and fellowship with other Christian youth. The purpose is to support the faith of middle and high school students attending churches in the Bay Area, in light of the startling rates at which churched youth fall away from the faith after high school. There was a powerful moment of solidarity for the youth when all the pastors, leaders, and mentors gathered around them and prayed for them. The program ended with some team games and refreshments, during which the mentors and the youth split up into smaller groups and got to know each other better. As people filed out, the energy level was still high and the mentors were all abuzz with the meaningful conversations they had had with the students. We knew that the event had touched many of the youth in some way, and we were excited for their spiritual growth at the upcoming Interhigh events.

Mark the Date. RISE – April 17, 2010

Look you don’t want to miss out on this coming RISE. It will be even more awesome. (As if that could happen!) Not only did we make a lot of new friends since our last event and thus expect a packed house – William Lane Craig is coming! Some of you may not be familiar with him – but he is probably the most famous Christian apologist of our time. What does that mean? It means he takes his two Ph.Ds and his massive brain power and spends all his time speaking about the evidence and claims of Christianity. It’s his job to go to big name universities and debate atheists! And now he is coming to InterHigh, to talk about the incredible evidence and facts of Jesus’ resurrection. It is really, really compelling. It will give you incredible confidence in the validity of the Christian faith, and for those of you who are are just seeking – a compelling case for the claims of Jesus.

SO DON’T MISS OUT. Go to our RISE page and sign up today!
Everyone is welcome! By the way – it’s completely free!
