Hey there, Lightgliders! I’m Kwan and it’s my job to make sure you’re outfitted, trained, and ready for action. We have learned over the last few months that the Lightglider goals, values, mission, and leaders all seek to point to the Far Greater Story of God's love for us revealed in the Bible. As we grow as Lightgliders, we will shine light in the darkness and point others to the Far Greater Story as well!
This week we are reminding our amazing community just what it means to be a Lightglider! So, whether you are new to Lightgliders or have been in the Academy for a while, I encourage you to pay close attention.
Lightgliders are defenders of good. We are a team that helps out those in need. And, right now, the land of Glideon needs us! For unknown reasons, a mysterious gooey substance called blight is spreading all over the land. At the same time, strange Machines have appeared and are kidnapping the Gliddles! It’s up to us to go on missions into the Yonders to clear away the blight and to rescue the Gliddles from the Machines!
Being a Lightglider is a purposeful adventure. As you engage in all there is to do in the Academy and throughout the Yonders, you will have opportunities to learn about the greatest adventure there is–to know, grow in, and show God’s love. You were made to shine!
Glide On!
Kwan
P.S. Come find me in the Innovation Lab!
