ITL is short for: In The Light.
In The Light is a Bible study for homeschooled highscoolers. The group was named for the popular song, "In The Light" by DC Talk.
Lyrics
editThe lyrics proclaim:
I want to be in the light as you are in the light I want to shine like the stars in the heavens Oh, Lord be my light and be my salvation 'Cuz all I want is to be in the light
History
editThe group was founded by a young highschool student in the year 2001. Brendan Joiner said, "At first, it was a way to get girls' phone numbers..." However, this young man soon saw something he hadn't before. He had a fire for the things he was learning. He and his friends sutdied the Bible and "Christian" books together.
Today
editToday, In The Light is not just any Bible study. The group has grown to more than 20 teens who gather together every week. They fellowship together and enjoy each other's company during the week. "I've met some of my best friends through this Bible study," says Lizette, a member of the group, "and I've gotten closer to old friends." Brendan's vision for a small Bible study has expanded. A group of leader's is currently working to keep the Bible study going for many years to come. "I think it's cool," said Brendan, "that this Bible study might still be around after I've graduated from college."
The Future
editThe group's goal is to still be in existence after the orignal members have already graduated from highschool, college, and even marriage. Many of the teen leaders have expressed the desire for their children to attend this Bible study (when the time for children has come).
