Freedom Call Outreach

How Freedom Call Started:

On March of 2012, at our Youth Service, I gathered the young people and began to pray. We prayed that God would touch our city. That night, I prophesied that one day we would host a youth rally at the Dickinson High School Stadium. Of course, in my heart, I thought this would be somewhere in the distant future. I was quite content being a youth pastor at our church, but

God had a bigger plan for us. Soon after that service, three of our youth members restarted the United For Christ Bible Club, at Dickinson High School. They got a teacher sponsor and asked the administration if we could host a youth rally at the stadium. I was still not sure of renting a whole stadium, so I told my pastors what happened and to my surprise, they said, “Go For It!”

The administration permitted us to host the event, so we contacted DISD and scheduled our First Freedom Call Youth Rally. I am still amazed at how in five weeks we were able to get everything together! I called friends to help with the sound, bands, and promotions. I wrote letters to all the local churches to invite them to the event. On May 24, 2012, over 400 young people and adults gathered at the Sam Vitanza Stadium for our first Freedom Call Youth Rally and we all worshipped God together! During the altar call (at the track) many students and adults came down from the stands and gave their lives to Jesus that night. Every year I have worked closely with the Bible Clubs at Dickinson High School and McAdams and Kranz Jr. Through the Bible Clubs, many students have been reached and their lives changed. Freedom Call Ministries partners with the schools to represent the most strategic approach toward bringing a Godly change in our communities! Bringing Freedom Call right into their football field/gym is an important opportunity. Some students may never step foot into our churches to hear the gospel, but they will come to their school stadium/gym for a concert! I invite you to our 13th Annual Freedom Call Rally on Friday, April 11, at 7 p.m. at the Dickinson High School’s Competition Gym. This is a free event for the whole family. During the Rally, there will be a free concert with Pastor and Recording artist, Von Won, Lil Ziggy and Young Jayden. Space City Church's worship team led by Mandi Del Campo will lead worship, several students will also be sharing their testimonies. We will also have giveaways and lots of fun. Our purpose is to have young people reach young people and advance the Kingdom of God. As an outreach of the rally, my husband I have written several devotional books to help students have a closer walk with the Lord. The books contain testimonies from young people in our youth group and other people that I know whose lives have been changed by God. I am humbled and grateful that God has used Freedom Call to bring the gospel to teens in a whole new way, and that we can impact so many lives for eternity through these youth events! Lorena Garza
