Installment two is made. Departure times, arrival times are determined by the Work Camp Ministries committee. And Off we go for a week of service and eye opening experiences. |
| Please add any additional information you would like to share. | Our teens are learning by serving others it is not just the work being done that is rewarding, it is the effect they have on those being served. They are seeing a change in attitude and self worth. They are seeing smiles, and appreciation from the elderly that fear the teens in their own neighborhoods. They are actually seeing that it is them that is giving hope to the elderly, the poor and the needy. It really is a week well spent. |
