A Word from Dave
"Be The Best" is encouraging youth to strive to be what God has wonderfully and fearfully created them to be. In this "be first and only first or quit" society students are reminded God knows our abilities and talents and desires for us to serve him with our very best no matter how others rate and rank us. If in a particular area of life our very best for God finishes second or third then "Be The Best" second or third God has created you to be in that area.
