C.O.R.N. is an acronym for Christian’s
Outreaching Rural Nebraska.
The
idea began with a small group of people who realized that many rural
towns and counties in Nebraska had not heard the true Gospel preached
in nearly 85 years, and decided to take a step of faith and try
to reach the teens of these communities.
C.O.R.N. is headquartered in Aurora, Nebraksa.
Scott Peace, brings a Gospel message to rural teens through
the teaching of the Ten Commandments. When people realize that they
have failed God by not following His perfect law, and that they
can’t be perfect enough to keep it without a Savior which
is Jesus Christ, the response is overwhelming.

C.O.R.N. is formatted to appeal to the un-churched
youth of a community and is not a ploy to try to steal people from
churches. It is a vision given to a group of people who belong to
the Kingdom of God that want to help other communities further the
God’s Kingdom.
C.O.R.N. is advertised as a dodge-ball tournament,
along with an inflatable boxing ring with a boxing tournament, and
a four-man jousting tournament, with trophies for all three events.
The evening also includes free pizza and soft drinks and usually
starts around 6:00 p.m. and is over between 11:00 p.m. and 12:00
a.m. At the midway point of the evening the youth are brought together
for the food and then the Gospel message is presented by Scott.
The teens who respond to the message by trusting Christ as their
Savior are given a Bible and one week’s worth of discipleship
material. Follow up is left up to church leaders in the community
and if they choose to, will be provided with one years worth of
discipleship material written by Scott.
We ask for no financial support, but trust that
if God wants C.O.R.N. to come to a community, He will provide a
way. Our goal is to work together as a body of believers presenting
the true Gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost world, and to strengthen
and be strengthened by believers in other small communities across
the state of Nebraska.
