Church Youth Director Banned From School Because of Atheist Youth

Luke 17:28-30 “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built” but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

An atheist student has taken steps to have a church’s youth director banned from her school because she was offended he was talking about Jesus with students at her lunch table at Salem, Oregon’s Straub Middle School.

The student claims she has no issues with Christianity and that the church director made nasty comments to her, but witnesses say that Shelby Conway is not telling the truth.

The director, Tim Saffeels, says that he only sat at the table of Conway because a member of his church’s ministry.  He said that some of the other kids at the table brought up the issue of Christianity and that he did not insult or berate anyone at the table.

Saffeels has been visiting schools for three years until the campaign by Shelby Conway to have him banned.

“I didn’t say at all any of the comments concerning atheists are evil, that their opinions are illogical,” Saffeels said. “In no way, at that moment, did there seem to be any issue concerning a confrontation or anything like that. The first time that I saw that there was an issue was when I received a call from the principal.”

He said that he doesn’t go into the schools to preach but rather to build relationships with the students who are already part of their ministry.

  1. I read a post on facebook and it said if you are atheist and don’t believe in God then why does it bother them when God or Jesus is mentioned! I hope the Youth director isn’t banned from that school. I think we should all pray for that girl to give her life to Jesus!

  2. IT IS TIME FOR ALL CHRISTIANS TO STAND UP TO THESE BULLIES. GIVE IN ONCE AND IT NEVER ENDS. WHY ARE WE SUCH COWARDS. JESUS SURE WASN’T SCARED OFF BY THE BULLIES AND WE SHOULD NOT EITHER. GREATER IS HE WHO IS IN US THAT WHAT IS THAT ATHEIST.WE ALREADY HAVE THE VICTORY,PRAISE GOD FOREVER.
