Schools across the country are promoting Rachel's Challenge this week, presenting a powerful video message to the students and sharing the brave young student's legacy of kindness, compassion, and courage. My middle school daughter has been selected to assist as one of the ten youth in each grade level at her school, to be a part of the program and to demonstrate the outreach and care that personified Rachel Scott. What the public schools are leaving out, one very important detail, is that Rachel Scott was a born-again believer who stood up for Jesus, in fact just before she died. She had struggled with depression and her relationship with Christ changed her. I believe this is the key reason that she was so effective as a witness. Bullying is a big problem in the public schools especially, and I hope and I pray that Rachel's Challenge reaches the hearts of all students.
