John Preston (Left Behind: The Kids)

John Preston is a minor character in the Left Behind: The Kids series and a member of the Young Tribulation Force. He is one of the first non-original YTF members and a tribulation martyr.
John's name was chosen to enter a submarine that would have saved his life when he was facing death on The Peacekeeper One, but he volunteered to give his seat on the submarine to Carl Meninger, who was a friend of John and a later believer. John was rewarded for his heroic act at the end of the series.
