But this last weekend, my answer to this question changed. We took 6 of our youth kids to Newport to have a coast retreat. These 6 kids were chosen because they are campus missionaries. What is that, you ask? A campus missionary is a high school, junior high, and even college student who has committed to changing their school campus. The have 5 commitments: Pray, Live, Tell, Serve, and Give. This weekend, we discussed each area and just got to have fun with them, and hopefully showing them that we wanted to recognize them as students that we are so very proud of.
I remember in high school, I signed up to be a campus missionary. I failed miserably. One of my biggest regrets. God could've used me if I had not let fear and worry of reputation or rejection get in the way. But these kids are completely willing to be witnesses for Christ. They have started a campus club, they are planning outreaches. One of them, Kylee.... We had to buy Bibles for her because she had told 20 of her friends in just 3 weeks about Jesus and they all wanted Bibles. 20. Twenty. 2-0. I think that is incredible.
So when people ask me, who my favorite hero is, I will tell them it is no longer Batman, though he is legit, and good looking to boot.... No, it is not Mr. Wayne. It is Dale, Naomi, Gideon, Kylee, Jaydyn, Kassy, and Lydia. Because they are doing what truly matters on this earth - reaching the lost for Christ without anything holding them back.
