Greg! I met you with my parents a couple weeks ago in Scottsdale at Jolta Java. I want you to know that your new book is incredible! It has helped me understand “THE Cause” and how it was really lived out in Kaileys life. Thank you so much for the inspiration and i am excited to see how this will effect my fellow Jesus Freaks at school. Horizon High School is covered! I will continue to pray for your ministry! -Ryan

Greg, Love the idea behind the article. Hears it comes, but I’ve been challenged to a diffrent way of thinking towards this. A few weeks ago our senior pastor in his message on Sunday morning was speaking from Phillipians 2:19-ff and said at one point, and this is what hit me, that what we don’t need are new ways of branding everything or doing things but we need a few more good men like Timothy and Epaphroditus. Instead of recoloring and redesigning things what we need are more poeple who will just simply do what is being asked of them. If we could have more people being obiedient to Christ then the problem of getting people to do what is reqiured would be solved. Don’t get me wrong i’m a youth pastor and I don’t want to do things the way they were doing it in 1970 but whatever you call it the Great Commission will always be the Great Commission. Grace and Peace, Mike

That’ll preach! Praising God that He has left us here for this cause!
To answer your question, what will I do for THE Cause?–I plan to keep living it, speaking it and challenging others with it! I dream of the day that not just the teens are unleashed (though I believe they could be the best missionaries we could have here in the US), but the parents of these teens would begin to model it. Could you imagine a family that supported one another in the proclamation of the Gospel! I pray that Fathers and Mothers would set the example in the workplace, neighborhood and within their families. Not only parents, but I’m calling on Youth Leaders to not hide behind the curtain of “I’m meeting with teens to help them mature” but to actually step it up in their peer-relationships as well. Set the example for the teens by reaching your friends (your age) with the Gospel.
This is a cause worth living (and dying) for.
Grace,
Brian
