Cody is a freshman at North High School, and this is his first year being involved with Campus Life. Some friends invited him to club, and since then he has faithfully attended every week.
A few months ago, Cody attended his first Campus Life event. A Campus Life staff member, Josiah, picked him up and drove him to the event. As they left Cody’s neighborhood, Cody pointed to a woman crossing the street and told Josiah that she was his mom. He explained that she was living on the streets because of drug addiction and that he now lives with his grandmother, who cannot allow his mom to stay with them because of the drugs.
In that moment, Josiah was able to talk with Cody about how God sees and knows his mom and the situation she is facing. He reminded Cody that God hears our prayers and cares deeply about what his family is going through. Josiah was able to encourage Cody and support him during a very meaningful conversation.
Please pray for Cody’s family and for healing in their lives. Over the past several months, Cody has continued to lean into the community he discovered through Campus Life. He has attended multiple events since that first one and faithfully comes to club each week, often bringing along as many friends as he can.
In January, Cody also began attending Parkside Church’s youth group with some of his Campus Life leaders. Now Cody is building connections within God’s community both at his school and in the church. Please pray that Cody would continue to grow closer to God, learn more about Him, and experience the strength and love of Christ in every circumstance he faces.
