The Los Angeles teen ministry just celebrated the graduation of their Class 2014! I was honored to be a part of the great celebration as they asked me to be the commencement speaker for the event.

I first want to send a great big shout out to all of the LA teen leaders who worked so hard and put on an excellent event! Every graduating teen was honored on stage, given a Bible, and highlighted in a video. They also had a time where there were able to honor somebody in their life by giving them a thank you rose, which added a sweet tone to the event. The Youth and Family ministry was promoted as parents, teen leaders, campus ministers and region leaders were all present together to honor the graduates.

Through the Virginia Church of Christ Around the World, senior Noah Kreider has worked with homeless shelters and recreational centers around the country mentoring kids.
