"It was nuts. I've never seen anything like this before in my life. It was just amazing to see so many people responding to Jesus."

After a stirring message, "she came running up to the front. She was weeping. She asked Brian to pray for her. She was going to commit suicide that day, but instead she found God," says Allan Giglio, a coordinator for One Voice, which is seeing extraordinary revival in Los Angeles and Orange County high schools.

About 2,500 students at 15 high schools hear the Gospel each week through campus Christian clubs, which invite One Voice representatives to speak, Giglio says. Kids have been saved from drugs, violence, sexual sin, and hopelessness.

The move of God began in Roosevelt High School two years ago. A watershed moment came when opposing gangs put down their weapons and met each other in the gym for prayer, along with 400 other students who had gathered to hear a heartfelt and compelling message.

Roosevelt teacher Samuel Alba acts as a teacher advisor for the Christian club. Both his father and grandfather ministered in Mexico and the U.S., where they saw extraordinary things happen. But he has seen nothing like the current outpouring of the Spirit.

"This is a whole new thing," Alba says. "This is something extremely new to the students. Many days you see kids with tears asking Christ to come into their hearts."
