Andrew Blosser, 17, is the son of Steve and Nancy Blosser of Lansing, Michigan. Home schooled for the majority of his elementary and high school education, Andrew now attends Lansing Community College (LCC) part-time and one home school class. This is Andrew's senior year of high school, and he plans to attend LCC full time next semester.

Andrew's extracurricular activities have included Teen Leadership Training (TLT) and Pathfinders, Magabook literature evangelism, Fellowship of Christian Farmers (an interdenominational evangelistic group), and FLAG Camp, a day camp in Berrien Springs, Mich. Andrew is co-leader of a Kindergarten Sabbath school class and an assistant for his church's Adventurer program. He enjoys discussing theology, reading, skiing, listening to sermons and telling corny jokes.

Recently Andrew remarked, "God has blessed me with various opportunities to minister for Him through preaching, and this constitutes one of my main interests. ... I possess little skill in the pulpit right now, but God is slowly teaching me."

After attending LCC one year, Andrew plans to study theology at Andrews University. He said, "By God's power, my future goals include attending seminary at Fuller or Talbot, and then possibly going into full-time evangelism. The sole purpose of my life is to win the lost at any cost."

Lydia Marie Weiso, 16, is a senior at Northwest Academy in Charlevoix, Michigan. She enjoys singing in the choir, playing the hand bells, archery, snowboarding, football, climbing, hiking and horseback riding. She arranged and directed the 2007 Christmas program for the Petoskey church school.

"Being a Seventh-day Adventist Christian in a public school is a challenge," says Lydia. "We are not able to start the day with the blessing of God as a group, nor can our teachers do that in class. I miss that. When asked about my beliefs, I share all I can so others see that I believe in God, in Jesus as my Savior, and in the help and influence of the Holy Spirit."

Lydia realizes that peer pressure is hard to overcome on her own, and that is why she keeps God first in her mind and asks for His presence every morning. She wants others to see how God has influenced her life and that loving God can be fun. Lydia's desire is for others to have His love in their life, too!

In college, Lydia plans to pursue a degree in education to become a high school history and math teacher.
