FBC Student Ministry T-Shirt Design
This is a t-shirt design I created in response to the tremendous teaching we recieved as part of the Fall Retreat for the FBC Student Ministry, in which I'm an 8th grade small group leader. JD Mangrum, pastor of Origins Church in Greenville, KY, was the guest speaker at the retreat and coined the phrase that appears on the shirt, "I am a burning bush." JD did an amzing job teaching and presented a lot of great ideas that really energized the students, and the idea for shirts was to help the kids carry that excitement into their schools and help motivate them to share their faith.
Some of JD's key points were that if God is in you and if you are a follower of Jesus, then you are a burning bush, and as such should let our light shine so that others may see us and praise our Father in Heaven. We must remember that everyone is either a burning bush themselves (believers), or are made in the image of God (nonbelievers), and this should challenge us at all times to treat everyone like they matter. When we remember this, and when we really accept the fact that God wants to make himself known through us, then we realize that everywhere we go can and should be a holy moment and a holy place. Every moment can be used by God to reveal Himself through us.
My hope for this shirt is that students would wear them to school and in public and that people would ask them about what it means. And as soon as someone inquires about the shirt, the students have the perfect opening to share their belief and faith in Chirst. I pray the shirts would create a opporunities for the students to go out and live the great commission and live as if they were burning bushes.
