On Friday, January 12th, teens and adults alike took to the Multi-purpose hall at Triple C School.  The room was dimly lit with black lights and attendees were instructed to wear all black.  Once the evening festivities were underway, the youth were given squirt bottles of washable glow-in-the-dark paint and given freedom to have fun  squirting paint on themselves, each other and any adult that dared to enter the “paint zone.”

With the walls covered in plastic and specific instructions not to squirt anyone with paint above the shoulders, the night was full of laughter and some special entertainment.  The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) for Triple C School arranged for Richie Righteous to perform for the teens. Righteous hails from New York City and has performed throughout the Caribbean in multiple countries.  He is also a sought after entertainer/speaker for the Association of Christian Education schools (ACSI).  After his energetic RAP/HIP HOP performance, he ministered to the teens and adults by sharing his powerful testimony.

To enhance the “glow” experience, attendees could also purchase (or bring their own) glow items.  Items on sale included glow in the dark shades, bracelets, and necklaces.  Some teens brought light up masks, teeth, jewelry, and shoes.  The room was indeed Glowing!

Triple C School Principal, Ms. Mable Richardson stated, “Tonight was a fun night! I enjoyed surrendering to students as they added their creative flare to my Addidas suit.  Our teens enjoyed themselves. At closing, many asked when the next one will be —-! It’s great to be able to bring in someone that can reach our youth, minister to them, and share his testimony of the transforming power of God in his life as a teenager and adult Richie Righteous’ was not   afraid to admit that he made mistakes.  Our teens need to know that the adults they know and meet didn’t always have it together and can still make mistakes, too.”
