Elisha (Ee-Lee'-sha) Beam is from Rolling Prairie, Indiana. A senior at New Prairie High School in New Carlisle, Indiana, Elisha looks forward to an exciting future at Andrews University next school year.

After her first visit to the LaPorte Seventh-day Adventist Church, Elisha knew she wanted to be part of the family of God. Her friendship with a church family gave her a picture of Jesus Christ that birthed a desire to serve Him. Working at Timber Ridge Camp last summer, Elisha made her decision for Christ and was baptized August 26, 2006.

This year at school, Elisha has enjoyed soccer and diving. The pressure to return to her previous life was great, yet she has learned to depend on Jesus. Elisha has not been recognized at high school for her greatest achievement this year—to survive spiritually. She believes it is a privilege to witness by staying true to her faith. Her desire is show others the true feeling of family that comes from being part of God's Kingdom.

Elisha's plans are to work another summer at Timber Ridge Camp. She then plans to pursue art education and religion degrees at Andrews University, allowing God to use her however He chooses.

Jeremy Christopher Wong is a junior at the New Albany Christian Academy of Indiana, a school with more than 700 students. Elected school chaplain, he plans and helps with weekly chapels. He organized the first Week of Prayer, which led to renewed interest in spiritual matters for many students.

Jeremy is not hesitant to witness for his beliefs. He and another Adventist student will graduate next year, so school administration has scheduled commencement to take place before the Sabbath begins.

A junior elder of his church in New Albany, Jeremy says, "I love my church! They are not afraid to train me and other young people."

Jeremy feels blessed to be a member of an active church youth group. Last fall, he and seven other youth held a series of evangelistic meetings at the church. "Lives were changed," said Jeremy.

Prior to the 2007 Adventist-laymen's Services and Industries convention in Louisville, Kentucky, evangelistic meetings will be held, and Jeremy will be a speaker. He said, "I feel honored to be used by God to spread the Three Angels' Messages."

Besides his passion for evangelism, Jeremy also loves to hang out with his friends, play basketball, soccer, and saxophone, and he loves the thrill of downhill skiing.

Jeremy is the son of Alan and Lian Wong of Sellersburg, Indiana.
