The Pointe is the student ministry of our church, LifePointe. They had this crazy idea and decided to follow through with it. The results was awesome.They ordered some squeeze water bottles with their logo and website printed on them. They stuffed these bottles with various other things related to The Pointe and a Gospel of John. Friday night they all went to the local hangouts and gathering spots for the teens...
