This realization has led one woman to work as an instrument of hope for God. The Truth Revealed Project, a community crusade to share the love of God with all teenagers, will be held at Heritage High School on Tuesday, April 19. Kelly White said her concern for teenagers developed while taking her daughter to school last fall. Many of the teens she saw looked so sad and lost. “God began to burden my heart about it,” White said. Around the same time, she was taking a class at church called, “Experiencing God - Seven Steps of Knowing and Doing the Will of God.” Mon, 18 Apr 2011 14:40:00 -0000urn:publicid:www.blounttoday.com:news-Story-18571-734245lifestyles/faith-valuesBonny C.
