Brio Girl 2008

Brio magazine is produced by Focus on the Family for teenage girls. In the latest issue (January, 2008) that showed up in our mailbox yesterday (addressed to Bekah in case you were worried or wondering…) the front cover has a large photo of the 2008 Brio Girl.

The young lady selected is Becky Marras, a senior from Medina, OH, who was on Operation Barnabas in 2006 and has been a regular attender at CE National’s Momentum youth conference. It’s really neat so see a young lady whom we know picked for this award and that she continues to live for Jesus.

Another neat thing is the way the full-page article starts about Becky. On page 35 it says,
“Last summer, 17-year old Becky spent six weeks on a missions trip in Los Angeles and Washington state. ‘It was totally hard-core missions, and it really directed my focus of where I want to serve Christ,’ this Highland High School student says.” There are also three good size photos of Becky. Very special that the whole article starts by talking about her OB experience and the continued impact it has had on her life.

I don’t usually buy Brio magazine, but I’m going to get a copy of this issue ;-). I looked on line and they don’t have the info up yet. They do have info about the 8 finalists, but hopefully they will get this issue’s info up soon.

I appreciate Becky's Operation Barnabas leaders who definitely made an impact on her life. And many thanks to all the OB leaders who have poured themselves into students lives who may not be as celebrated, but continue to make a difference for the kingdom.
