Hi everyone! My name is Caleb!
And my name is Gabi! We are excited to announce that we
are the 2015-2016 Beacon editors!
Hooray! Get the confetti!
We stole the ingenious idea of co-editing from Ellie
Chroniger and Becca Olson...but we are also adding our
own twist by having an apprentice editor, Annie Lloyd.
You said "twist," but I think we all know you meant
"one up." In your face, Chroniger/Olson.
I was trying to be civil, but yes, "one up" is a better term
(we love you Ellie and Becca).
In all actuality, we could never live up to our
predecessors’ awesomeness. But that's not to say we
won't try. In the coming year, you can expect to see
the same kind of inspiring messages in the Beacon;
however also expect to see more variety! We're
beginning a campaign to enlist the amazing writing
abilities of however many SDB youth we can. So,
while Gabi (and Annie) and I will still be writing the
most, there will be a very diverse voice this year.
For that, I'm super excited.
I agree! Our goal is to try to give as many youth as possi-
ble a chance to have their voice heard, because let's be
honest, they have some pretty amazing things to say!
*Cough* so if you're a youth and you want to
write let us know *cough*
And you know, if you don’t, we have our ways of
making you…
Gabi! No threatening our readers! We've talked
about this.
Okay, okay.
Sorry about that, folks.
Moving back on track, we'll leave you with next year's
conference theme: Family, Faith, Education.
Actually, this ties back into what we were just
saying. Even though it's written for youth and by
youth, the Beacon is applicable to all, and is perfect
for promoting faith and education in a family setting.
(So youth, if you want to be involved in building
family, faith, and education, WRITE FOR US).
Yes, props to you Pastor Ken Chroniger for choosing a
relatable theme. We look forward to being involved in an
awesome year of The Beacon and sharing what God lays
on our hearts with all of our amazing readers!
“Do not move the ancient landmark that your
fathers have set.” (Proverbs 22:28 ESV)
“You shall not move your neighbor's landmark,
which the men of old have set, in the inheritance
that you will hold in the land that the LORD your God
is giving you to possess.” (Deuteronomy 19:14 ESV)
In all seriousness if you are an SDB youth who feels
led to write, please contact us at:
