“What is God’s plan when I go to a college campus? I just believe I will only tell truth, I will not compromise, and I’ll love on the lost,” Charlie Kirk once said regarding his work on American colleges.

On September 10, the Founder and CEO of Turning Point USA was assassinated while dialoguing with a student at Utah Valley University during TPUSA’s “The American Comeback Tour.”

Since his untimely death, Kirk’s impact on American culture and politics has proven to be massive. Numerous media outlets, political and cultural figures, domestically and globally, have covered this tragic event and the legacy Kirk has left behind.

Eleven days later, Turning Point USA, in coordination with the White House, organized a memorial service at State Farm Stadium in Glendale. The memorial featured an overwhelming number of attendees seeking to mourn and celebrate Kirk’s life, including the Trump Administration. In addition to in-person attendees, the service had at least 100 million online streams.

Just saw an update that Turning Point's tech partners tracked 277,000 devices in and around the stadium for the event yesterday. Maybe a few people had 2 phones on them, but on the flip side would be kids and tech-aversive types with no phones. That's quite a bit more than most media organizations reported.

I liked Charlie...a faithful young and gifted soldier for Christ.Lest some of us forget, many of us,then young men during the Jesus revival of the seventies, served with Campus Crusade for Christ, with endurance and faithfulness.
Let us be careful not to exalt men above that which is written.
Deception is everywhere, we are in the apostasy after all. Take herd to yourselves.

I didn’t even know there was an event here in the heart of Occupied Territory of Minneapolistan. I can’t believe they let them in. It was sure kept quiet. I did laugh when I looked up the event on the University of Minnesota website.

You must have a valid ID to watch a guy talk but it is racist to have one to vote. Got it.

“”””””Alert: All attendees must be 18+ and will be required to show a valid government-issued ID to enter the building. Priority seating for UMN and non-UMN students with valid student IDs. “”””””””””””””””

Campus Crusade became popular and then it became about the money. This is why i dislike Organized Religion. Give me a church that addresses the needs of the local community.
