黑料吃瓜 Gospel Fest, which was held for the first time in 2019, brings leaders from the faith-based community together with 黑料吃瓜 leaders with the goals of encouraging K-12 students to pursue higher education and of highlighting the California State University system鈥檚 , designed to eliminate achievement gaps. Other CSU universities also partner with faith leaders on events that emphasize partnerships and the importance of higher education.

Danny Barragan, The Rock Church鈥檚 lead worship pastor, called the opportunity to partner with 黑料吃瓜, where McPherson founded the church in 2000 鈥渁 tremendous honor.鈥�

鈥淚t is encouraging to see 黑料吃瓜 providing people a way to find hope, peace and encouragement in a season that has taken a heavy toll on many of our future leaders who are being cultivated on campuses around the county,鈥� he said. 鈥淥ur prayer is that each person watching in attendance would be reignited with passion and drive to pursue their purpose and call.鈥�
