The "EvangeCube"

Today something awesome happened.
Let me explain to you my 4th hour. There are about twenty students in the class. I have a young teacher- She wears more mascara than anyone I have ever seen and really crazy clothing but she has a personality that I look up to completely.
She thrives to get to know us personally, and in turn, we feel comfortable around her and with the other kids in the class. Because she makes us feel so welcome, we're all OK with sharing what we believe in. There are Pagans, Mormons, Catholics, Buddhists, Atheists, and Christians in the class, to name a few.
We had to do an assignment presenting an arguement based on whether or not the society of Aldous Hexley's Brave New World was anything like our own. The books's world is kind of a negative utopia; they worship the creater of the society, Ford, and family is a concept that does not exist.
There's this kid named Alex who I'm friends with. He's Christian and he wears his faith on his sleeve, but I've never seen anything like this before.
It was his turn. He walked to the front of the class and began to speak. He started to talk about how the people in Brave New World worship Ford and then
the class chalk full of different religions, the class of high school students who will probably judge him, the class of uninterested juniors and seniors texting while he spoke
heard him share the gospel.
Talk about faith.
