Original Young Trib Force Members

Judd, Vicki, Lionel, and Ryan began it all! Let's look at a little information on each of them.

Judd Thompson

 

   Before the disappearances Judd stole his dad’s credit card and ran away to England. Well, at least he tried. That’s when Jesus came back, and half the people on the plane disappeared. Judd met the original members of the Young Trib Force at New Hope Village Church the day of the rapture. He is a leader. He’s the oldest original member of the group. His best friend goes between Vicki and Lionel, depending on where he is in the books. For more information follow this link to find out more about him.

Vicki Byrne

 

   Vicki’s family lived in a trailer park. Vicki always thought since she lived there, other people didn’t think she was good enough. She was rebellious. She would sneak out and go drinking and smoking with friends, then sneak back home while everyone was sleeping. She was out with her friend when the disappearances occurred. She came home to only the clothes of her family. Vicki’s best friend was Shelly Brown for most of the series. To find out more on Vicki follow this link to an old post from the blog.

 

Lionel Washington

 

   Lionel had two sisters and a brother. His parents raised their kids to love Jesus and have a relationship with Him. Lionel had other ideas. He preferred spending time with his Uncle, Andre, who was really “cool.” Andre spent his time partying, drinking, and taking drugs. Lionel didn’t want to become addicted to drugs or anything, but he wanted to have the freedom Andre had. At home though, he would act like a “good” boy. He pretended to love God. When everyone in church service stood up to sing, he would join. He had everyone fooled…until they were raptured, and he wasn’t. At the beginning of the series his best friend is Ryan. For more of Lionel follow this link to read more about him from an older post on this blog.

 

 

Ryan Daley

 

   Unlike the other kids, Ryan didn’t grow up in a Christian home. His parents didn’t like it when Ryan had questions about God, and they never taught him anything. His best friend Raymie Steele however, tried to teach him about Jesus. Ryan wasn’t very interested. He live a pretty ‘normal’ life for the most part. That is, until millions of people worldwide disappeared in thin air, leaving nothing but their clothes behind. Ryan was scared and went to find Raymie, who had also disappeared. “Is this what Raymie was saying all along,” he thought. “Did Jesus come back?” To learn more about Ryan follow this link to an old blog post.
