What an impressive group of young people. This is the 2006/2007 Winston-Salem Worldview Missionaries club.
They are impressive first, because they are countercultural christians. Instead of following the crowd of their peers and watching TV, playing video games, and otherwise wasting their teen years, they are sold out for Jesus.
They are impressive because as I watched them rise to the challenge of being a member of the WS Worldview Missionary club, they accomplished the goal set before them: fifteen six-minute speeches written and presented on various topics having to do with spiritual disciplines, seeking God, and articulating a Christian worldview in a post-modern world.
It was a lot of hard work. It took a lot of perseverance and a few late nights. I'm sure there were a few tears shed. A few hours or more of practicing their speeches, and then traveling and competing with other Worldview Missionaries from across the state.
I am so proud of them. I have high hopes for them. I expect them to go on into the future and make an impact in their world.
