05.01.10 Update from FP Blueridge..

Another local student passed away this week. This time, a 6th grader from Unicoi County was killed in an ATV accident...the second student to die in that school system in the last two weeks.

Another local student was charged this week for murder. This time, a Hawkins teen has been charged in the murder of his grandparents...the second teen charged with murder in Northeast Tennessee in the last month.

Each day, there is more and more evidence that our schools need prayer and our students need the gospel. It is obvious that we, the Church, need to have a sense of urgency about reaching a generation for Christ!

Now is the time to come together, uniting around a common cause...reaching this generation of young people for Christ! They are lost, hurting and suffering through things we couldn't have imagined when we were that age.

Now is the time to come together, uniting around a common strategy to reach this generation! It's time we stopped trying to do it on our own, and started working together, as one body, to take the gospel to our schools. We've been doing our "own thing" for way too long, and our children are suffering the consequences.

If what has happened in our schools over the last few weeks isn't enough to wake up the Church, I fear this generation will go down in history as the "lost" generation.

WAKE UP, CHURCH! We have work to do, and we must do it together!
