His faith is real, as is the faith of each of these special kids. They have been a great blessing. Are we shaping world history today or just shaping faith. I believe both. We can best shape world history one person at a time.
Confirmation works when all of the players and resources are in place.
Let tell you about a remarkable confirmation class, one so remarkable I may just write a book about it. Their final exam scores were the best. That class included John Baker, Debbie Coy, Bill Durgy, Jill Dutton, Susan Ensley, Elizabeth Field, Daniel Huck, Robert Johnson, Marc Jamison, Warren Longmeier, Ellen Megli, Tammy Nelson, Jane Paris and Lori Wood. Most of these kids formed the core of our youth group and because of their leadership we took our first youth mission trip to Appalachia and the experience was so profound that we went again. Some of these kids were tops in the classes academically, some were in all-city choir, and they had many, many talents and gifts.
