On April 3, Grayling Adventist School launched a six-part evangelism series titled “The Three Angels of Revelation 14” in support of Pentecost 2025. The series, which focuses on the Three Angels’ Messages, is entirely student-led.
The principal and teacher for Grayling School, Rachel Jameson, explains that the entire series is run by eight elementary school kids and two alumni. This number includes Grayling students as well as four homeschool students.
All aspects of the meeting—registration, song service, and the presentations—are led by the students. “The only thing I do,” she says, “is sit in the front. I’m there if they need me.”
Finn Tschetter, Cole Marsh, and Chandler Marsh each presented two meetings. Cole and Chandler Marsh are Grayling School alumni: Cole is 19 and a sophomore in college, and Chandler is 18 and a senior in high school. Finn Tschetter is 14 and in eighth grade.
Tschetter, who spoke for the first two evenings, shared that being a presenter for the series “has really opened my mind to the subject[s].” He believes the meetings were not only a blessing for the community, but that they also “served a purpose as a revival in the local church.”
To advertise the meetings, over five thousand emails were sent into the community, and the meetings were added as an event on the local news. Additionally, parents and students hung flyers at the library and grocery store, and Chandler Marsh posted flyers at his high school.
Students also spent daily time in prayer, praying for the series and for those who would attend, reports Jameson.
Cole Marsh shared that speaking for the series was “a great experience,” but more importantly, it allowed him “to contribute to the spreading of God’s Word… using his talents to impact others in a positive way.”
Not only did the series make an impact on the fifty-eight who have attended so far, but it has also made an impact on the students themselves. Jameson shares that at first, many were nervous, but after the first meeting, students were attached to their roles—with “one student so committed to registration that he doesn’t want any adult to take over his job!”
Chandler Marsh shared that presenting “helped me grow as a speaker and pay greater attention to the prophecy of Revelation. I’m glad I was able to grow so much personally.”
Before the meetings began, Jameson shared a quote from Ellen White with her students: “The strongest argument in favor of the gospel is a loving and loveable Christian.” She told her students that it didn’t really matter if they messed up—the only real way they could mess up was if they were unkind or rude.
