Pushing People Forward

Have you ever been volunteered for something? Ever been in a line of people and had no one step forward to accept a challenge, but saw everyone step back making it look like you were the one to step up?  Well, TNL has doing that to people in the past weeks.

As TNL prepares to host Denver's Biggest Bra Drive we have been purposely pushing other people, businesses and organisations into the lime light. We have not wanted to be the recipients of all the attention and focus.  We have actually tried to redirect any attention to others involved in this event. People like Andrea Ball, who will be preforming. Organizations like Free The Girls, who is actually collecting and distributing the bras.  Businesses like the Gothic Theater and Cafe 180, where the event is held and who are providing a pay-what-you-can dinner for the event (respectively).  Not to mention, that Jesus is the sole reason for all of this.

TNL is not looking for press. We are not looking to be the center of attention. We are not looking to be seen as cool, progressive or holier-than-thou.  We just want to be a community who seeks to be active in setting wrongs right, dispensing mercy and walking humbly (behind the scenes) with our God.
