Hi, I'm Johnny Erickson Tata and do you remember high school? Remember when it was hard making friends in class and in the hallways? Well, when Sarah noticed her classmates with disabilities were excluded from school activities, she decided to invite them to join her cheer squad. At first, Sarah had no idea how the football fans would react to the inclusive cheer team, but she was overwhelmed when the entire stadium stood up in applause. In no time, an organization was started called the Sparkle Effect. Now, there are 168 Sparkle teams in 29 states that include disabled kids and it continues to grow. Wow, isn't that a great example of Luke Chapter 14, where we're told to go quickly into the streets and invite the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame. Who can you invite to join your cause? If you want direction on how you can be more inclusive, visit us at johnnyradio.org.
