Gentlemen, As some of you may know, I am a Youth Minister at a local church here in Orlando, FL. 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 as much of the cost as we would like (we are likely to be about $3,000 short of where we would like to be and that is with the students paying a goodly portion of the cost). Please take a moment and check our website. Some of you pledged to help out when we did this a couple of years ago. 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!!) If you have any questions please feel free to send me a note via e-mail or ICQ. 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 NSH www.delaneychurch.org/students
