Over 200 kids made the commitment to purity and over 100 kids made a commitment/rededication of their lives to Christ! Thank you to the volunteers that were host homes, gave their financial support, volunteered, and, of course, our dedicated Prayer Warriors! Thank you for making this the largest SRT event ever held in Grass Valley!
