"God Is Going Back to School" in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

 

"God Is Going Back to School" in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

When the Church of Jesus Christ takes the Gospel to the very gates of hell (our government schools), God shows up and does exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask or imagine. Here is an encouraging report from the saints in Connecticut. The theology of the church house must become biography in the streets of our cities – Flip.

BASSICK HIGH SCHOOL

We had a glorious day today on the Streets of Bridgeport. It was sunny and warmed up as we displayed our signs out in front of the school. Pastor Miller joined us at Bassick where we literally gave out hundreds and maybe thousands of pieces of Gospel and prolife literature. We even gave out some thick booklets on abstinence and post abortion healing. I thank God at least fourteen saints purposed in their hearts to go out to the harvest field where our Lord has called us.

One staff asked me why we were there. I told her to reach the kids before we see them at the abortion center. She said "Why here? these kids have enough problems."
I said" That is what we are trying to prevent, more problems."
I told her we go to one high school a month, she said she works at Platt and never saw us there and that we should go to Fairfield, too. Thank you for the suggestions :-)

One student told Marc she did not want the literature because she could not have babies. Marc said "But you can have JESUS!" She gladly ran over with a smile to take the Gospel tract.

Some students invited Pastor Miller and Kelly to go over to pray with them at the flag pole. They said they do it every morning at 7:25 am. What a blessing to have these Christian students praying at their school each day!

A pastor gave Carmen his name and phone number and said he wanted to be involved in this. He thought it was great! A few adults made negative comments (like "why are you bringing this --- to this school?) as they were driving in or out, but the majority were receptive.

Some of the youth were shocked to see what abortion is. One girl came to school with her baby in a carriage. Some kids asked Carmen for extra literature for their friends. One male student in a car opened his door and said "Didn't you ever hear of the separation of church and state." (see how they get brainwashed). There is no such thing as "separation of church and state." You cannot find it in any legal documents. Not the Bill of Rights or the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson coined that phrase in a letter he wrote to a friend. His intent was that the state cannot interfere with the church.

The police officer we had was very pleasant. I thank God for the Bridgeport Police Department. They are usually there to protect us. He even said to "keep up the good work!"

One funny thing happened ... I lost my balance and fell off the curb. The policeman got out of his car to see if I was all right and a boy student asked if I was OK. I was fine, more embarrassed than anything. Something to laugh about.
