Happy Autumn, ROCC Supporters!
We've been pretty silent lately, and unless you've been making an effort to keep up with ROCC events, we're pretty sure that this email will be both informative and encouraging to you!
LOOKING BACK...
In August, ROCC Renovo (our partner organization at Bucktail High School in Renovo, PA) held an event for young people in a public park in their town. About 40 youth attended and...
--5 young people made decisions to follow Jesus this summer in Renovo!
--the ROCC staff is now conducting Child Evangelistic Fellowship (CEF) in the elementary school, a youth group in one local church, and ROCC events in the town's Salvation Army building!
This has been a busy Summer and Fall with the Arrowhead event (where two young men made decisions to follow Christ back in May), summer nights at the Blue Roof, and the WV mission trip with 51 team members!
In September, we held the 7th grade only event with FORTY 7th graders in attendance!
October brought our first ROCC Faithful event for the year with at least NINETY attendees. These meetings will continue to occur monthly throughout the school year. Please pray for these meetings.
...LOOKING FORWARD
On January 3, we will be bringing in a special speaker from Foundation Ministries, a division of Summit University. He will be speaking on the subject of self worth/suicide prevention.
We will of course be holding our Super Bowl event in February. We cannot forget that!
A missions team will be returning to West Virginia in June of Summer 2019. We have reached maximum capacity for housing our team. Who would have ever thought this could happen? Five years ago we took 19 team members and now the team members number has climbed into the 50's. Almost every team member who went in 2018 is returning in 2019. What is a tremendous blessing is that there are 15 members who are college students or graduated/graduating seniors. These returning college students and high school grads will serve the team in leadership positions. It is so great to have these young people as part of the ministry - some now for 7 years. These people are literally the future of ROCC!
As we continue to be obedient and answer God's call on our lives to make Jesus known and love other, we are thankful for the many decisions for Christ that have been made, our very well attended events, and many believing school staff members and administration.
We have been incredibly blessed by Brett Billings and his willingness to provide after school transportation for ROCC Groups.
As you pray, please continue to pray for the students at Northeast Bradford to know Christ! Pray also for our Renovo Fellowship to reach more students for Jesus Christ in their small town. And finally, pray for God's hand upon us, our students, and our community at large.
Blessings to you and yours!
In Christ,
ROCC Board
