Must or Bust: You can’t do it all, but here’s where you should start Calendar: Our list of area events to check out this summer Iowa In<strong>for</strong>mation PUBLISHERS AND PRINTERS Side Trips Our daughter had the opportunity to take part in something significant in Washington D.C. last week. Sheldon-based RISE Ministries and Life- Light out of Sioux Falls took charter busses filled with teens and chaperones <strong>for</strong> the 1,200-mile journey to attend an event called “Together 2016.” Rise Ministries founder Rob Roozeboom spoke about the gathering last month during RiseFest, the Christian music festival held on Father’s Day weekend in Sheldon, using the word “reset” MYRNA WAGNER often as he talked and thus planting that word in my head. “Together 2016” had a goal of bringing one million people together on the National Mall to change history, sharing through speakers and musicians the message that Jesus offers a “reset.” I listened in to parts of it via live stream on the Internet last Saturday and quickly understood why our daughter was so excited. While there weren’t a million people there that day, speakers like Francis Chan, Ravi Zacharias and Nick Hall told the 350,000 kids in attendance that they couldn’t just sit back and wait <strong>for</strong> someone else to do something, they had to be bold in their faith and their convictions. They had to help this country reset its barometer to Jesus in order to make the kinds of changes we need. With the unusual 2016 presidential race, terrorist attacks around the world and violence against police officers right here in our own country, I couldn’t agree more. Iowa In<strong>for</strong>mation PUBLISHERS Something AND PRINTERS has to change. But I don’t think we can expect the next generation to carry this burden. It belongs to each of us.
