IOWA<br />
God has opened the door in Iowa this year. A student leader<br />
named Trent wanted to stand for Christ, and when he heard about<br />
<strong>Decision</strong> <strong>Point</strong> he started getting coaching right away. With only a<br />
few months before graduation, Trent launched a club and hosted<br />
an outreach event where over 200 students came and 7 students<br />
indicated first-time decisions to follow Christ. Our goal is to see<br />
over 10 schools coached this next year, and for the Lord to appoint<br />
a full-time staff candidate. By the grace of God, we have our first<br />
Iowa-based intern starting this fall for a gap year with us.<br />
OHIO<br />
Our team has been working in Ohio for the last three<br />
years and as of March this year, Luke Peters joined<br />
our team full time. He was an answer to prayer as<br />
we know the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are<br />
few! Luke helped a student named Kenzie lead an<br />
outreach at Wadsworth High School and she said that<br />
it was the biggest event they’ve ever had with over 75<br />
students in one day!<br />
INDIANA<br />
A former Student Leader from Wheaton North High<br />
School named Alli Beck has been working part time<br />
with <strong>Decision</strong> <strong>Point</strong> in Indiana, breaking ground in that<br />
state. She was able to coach two schools near Taylor<br />
University and equip students to share the gospel.<br />
This year one youth group went out with Alli to the<br />
local mall to share Christ and many of them said that<br />
it was one of the most incredible experiences of their<br />
faith journey!<br />
MINNESOTA<br />
As we’ve been exploring opportunities in Minnesota,<br />
our team was able to equip several dozen youth<br />
pastors with tools to reach their schools. This all<br />
culminated in speaking at Districts Blitz, a youth<br />
conference where 2,800 students gathered in Duluth,<br />
MN. There we ran a workshop with nearly 200 students<br />
in attendance and one youth pastor told us “I’ve been<br />
looking for a way to reach the schools in Duluth for<br />
years… this is an answer to prayer!”<br />
