Gentlemen,
As some of you may know, I am a Youth Minister at a local church here in Savannah, GA. A couple of things that we try to do is take them to camp, which is among their peers. A chance to have a different perspective on life and be able to create friendships that will last for many years with other youth that maybe struggling in some of the same areas. The second thing is to take them on a mission trip. This can and does include nursing home visits, helping in a soup kitchen running a day camp for kids in high poverty areas, etc. An opportunity to learn to help those in need and to recognize those needs.
Of course all of this costs money (doesn't everything) and our budget doesn't cover much of the costs. Please take a moment and check out the website for this. Some of you have already and have pledged to help out a little. If you look on the donations page .. a little is on there ... any amount helps ... and I will send you a form for your donation (not sure how that works across the boarder but we will figure that out!!)
Thanks in advance to those of you willing to help out a little. For those that cannot, if you would just keep this group in your thoughts and prayers as we try to slowly change the direction this next generation seems to be headed.
Thanks
Richard
