2011-03-10T15:55:00.001-08:00

We are planning and praying for this years Teens for Christ Crusade. It is hard to believe that it is coming up in just a few weeks. Pray that God does a work in the hearts and lives of the students in our county. Our desire is that students will be so excited about what could be done in and through this meeting that they have a tremendous burden to invite students from their school. There is no telling what could be done this year. May God bless this meeting. Make plans to attend and bring your friends!

Teens for Christ Recap

2010-03-25T12:42:00.000-07:00

We are thankful for the blessing of God on the Teens for Christ Crusade. Hundreds of teenagers met together at the Central High School Auditorium each evening. The Lord truly blessed the singing, testimonies, instrumental specials, and the preaching of the Word of God. Friday night was Friend Night and the message was powerful. God used Mr. Scott Pauley as the message was delivered with fervency and excitement. Young people responded during the invitation. We were thankful to see souls saved and teenagers who were broken, desiring God to use them for His glory.

Saturday evening was Family Night. Many young people came and brought their parents. Once again, there was a fabulous crowd of teenagers who listened intently to the Word of God. Dr. Clarence Sexton, founder of the Teens for Christ Bible Clubs, preached a convicting message about our part in giving the gospel to those around us. Many young people came to the altar to pray for parents and friends who they desired to see come to know Christ as their personal Savior.

We believe God met with us and are anticipating seeing fruit that remains in the upcoming days. God stirred hearts of teenagers and we are thankful to God for the opportunity to host this meeting. Please be in special prayer for the young people who made decisions during the Crusade. May God's blessing continue to be upon this ministry as we seek to reach and teach the next generation!

The Lord truly blessed the first night of our Teens for Christ Crusade. Hundreds of young people gathered together as we sensed the Lord working in hearts and lives. Great singing, a testimony, and Christ honoring music all prepared the hearts of those in attendance for the preaching of the Word of God. Mr. Scott Pauley brought a powerful Bible message and God worked in a tremendous way. To God be the glory, 13 precious young people made a profession of faith in Christ as their personal Savior. Other teenagers came forward to pray for their friends as they committed to God that they would invite them to the meeting. Many other young people made decisions that would help them grow in their relationship with Christ.

God has blessed us with nearly 20 years of ministry to the young people of Knox County. Each year, we host a Sponsor Banquet in order to show our appreciation and gratefulness to the teachers and administrators who have been so kind to us. Without these relationships, Teens for Christ could not have the influence in our area that is has been granted by the Lord. Many of the teachers and principals came and enjoyed an evening of fellowship, food, and encouragement. Thanks so much to all those who have had a part in making this year another fantastic year for our Teens for Christ Bible Clubs!

Saturday Evening Meeting is Blessed of the Lord as Souls are Saved and Lives are Changed

2009-04-08T12:41:00.000-07:00

It is such a blessing to be able to host a Teens for Christ Crusade. We have been given a tremendous oppurtunity to minister to the next generation of young people. Saturday night's meeting was a night to be remembered. Every part of the meeting, from the singing to the testimonies, was used of the Lord to prepare for the Bible message. Dr. Sexton spoke on "Appointments We Have with God." God's Spirit was at work as many young people came forward to make decisions that would effect eternity. As we look back on this meeting, it is evident that God worked in a wondeful way in the hearts and lives of those who attended. We are so thankful for the oppurtunity to have this Crusade each year. As we look forward to next year's meeting, we are excited to think what the Lord has in store. Please continue to pray for our Bible clubs that are meeting each week in middle and high schools as well as local community centers. Be sure to check our blog soon as we will be updating it with new information as well as a list of future events.

Friday Evening Meeting Continues to Prove that God is Working in the Lives of Students in Knox County

2009-04-08T11:55:00.000-07:00

"The Lord is always advancing." We came to the Friday evening meeting with great expectation in seeing the Lord move by Spirit. During the Thursday evening meeting, Dr. Sexton encouraged all in attendance to return on Friday night and bring a friend with them. The Lord blessed as most of the students returned and we were privileged to see many new faces. The meeting was filled with enthusiastic singing, wonderful testimonies, and a strong gospel message on one of the most forgotten messages of the Bible- Hell. The Lord worked in a miraculous way as many students came forward during the invitation. Again, we were blessed to see young people come to know the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. In addition, many young people dedicated themselves to share the gospel with lost family members and friends. We are looking forward to seeing what the Lord does in our final meeting on Saturday night.

Knoxville, Tennessee:

Thursday night, the Teens for Christ Crusade began with a great meeting that was well attended by students from schools all across Knox County. The Greater Knoxville Choir sang, while special music and testimonies were given by students who are members of Teens for Christ clubs.

Pastor Clarence Sexton led the crowd in enthusiastic singing, while Scott Pauley brought the Bible message to an attentive crowd. When the invitation was extended, the Lord blessed with a wonderful response as 15 students made professions of faith in Christ. In addition, a host of young people either received assurance of their salvation, or dedicated their lives to Christ.
