In his twenty-plus years of youthwork, DON PEARSON has been kicked out of restaurants, left kids behind in airports, lost ten thousand dollars on a single event, totaled a borrowed vehicle, and caught a sailboat on fire. The ministry he oversees has lost kids in the mountains, driven a bus through a glass toll booth in Mexico with armed guards pointing machine guns at the windows, and rescued kids getting stung by jellyfish in the dark waters off the Spanish Virgin Islands. During this time, God has faithfully extended the range of his ministry from six kids in the eighties to over six hundred today. A graduate of Moody Bible Institute, Cornerstone University, and Grand Rapids Baptist Seminary, Don now spends most of his time overseeing the youth ministry of Blythefield Hills Baptist Church. His emphasis is on reaching, discipling, and equipping young people for spiritual leadership in the church and the world. Don and his wife have three grown children and reside near Grand Rapids, Michigan.

A graduate of Moody Bible Institute, PAUL SANTHOUSE currently serves as its Vice President of Publications, and Publisher at Moody Publishers.
