Gentlemen,
As most of you may know, I am a Youth Minister at a local church here in Savannah, GA. One 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. This year camp will be a little different. We will be combining camp and the mission trip. Each student will spend time in a mission area (Children's ministry, painting, construction and yard work ministry, games and recreation ministry, etc). This gives them the opportunity to help in the community and then come back to camp to create the connects that I mentioned earlier.
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 were able to support us last year and the impact was amazing to see.. 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!!)
Feel free to catch me online or via text or e-mail if you have additional questions.
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
