Who has been like Whit in your life?
Most people can think of one or two figures whose love and life example had a great impact on the formation of their spiritual foundation. It might be a coach, a Sunday school teacher or a parent or grandparent. Whatever the role, it's hard to put a value on the investment these people make on a daily basis. In an effort to bring honor to these countless, quiet heroes, Adventures in Odyssey® is seeking nominations for the John Avery Whittaker Award now through Oct. 31.
Like the Adventures in Odyssey character John Avery Whittaker, or "Whit", the person should be someone who is passionate about innovatively teaching children the truths expressed in the Bible. Those who create the Adventures in Odyssey® programs know that while Whit might be a fictitious character, there are thousands of real people just like him. "Our hope is that by bringing those people into the light, others will be inspired to follow their example," says Dave Arnold, the executive producer of Adventures in Odyssey. "If we can spur mature believers in Christ to mentor and influence a generation being barraged with messages of compromise, we can turn the tide and encourage revival in our youth."
