Mt. Rainier is so beautiful. People come to Seattle for the sole purpose of catching a glimpse of it on a sunny day. The problem with having one of the amazing crowns of God’s creative achievements is that we forget about it. We get used to it. We become home blind to it.

This happens with other things in life too. My wife for instance. She is amazing! And she is also beautiful! I realize that I become home blind when I get used to her, I take her for granted. When she gets dressed up for a date night (which rarely happens, the date night, not the dressed up) I get a chance to get healed from my blindness. She is a knock-out, and it took me taking her on a date to remember it!

This is the same way with our amazing leaders God has called into youth ministry at Believers Fellowship. God is moving in this world, calling up missionaries that do amazing things for the down and out. Think of the impact of Mother Theresa and how many people know about her. Think of IJM and Gary Haugen and what he is doing. But God is also at work on the home front. He is at work in our midst…and it’s exciting to see God using these homegrown heroes to make a difference in the lives of teenagers in Gig Harbor.

So in our new series, we will get a chance to hear about what God has done in the lives of some of the leaders/mentors to raise them up to have a heart for teens. We will see what God is doing in their lives recently, and see how we can learn from some of these homegrown heroes right in front of us!

This Wednesday Phil Hoffman will teach us a lesson in John 15, and Dave Columbini will teach on Thursday about what God is doing in his life!

See you there!
