Blog Qustion

I want to be part of this workcamp trip because I can make a difference in this world. And it's even better when many people are willing to help. Also because I feel guilty for all the good things God has given me, when other people have barely enough to eat. Or a house that needs to be fixed.

Go Again!

This will be my fourth workcamp trip with youth from BRC. The first experience was back in 2001. A group of 18 youth and adults went to West Virginia. That was such a powerful experience. I felt like God's presence was palpable -- hanging in the air everywhere I went. Our work made a real difference in the lives of many of the people we served that week. And during the week, I was witness to kids' lives changing right in front of my eyes. My relationship with many of the kids was deepened to a whole new level. It all changed my life too. Since that time, I have been excited about these trips and eager to go again. We have taken kids on two other trips, in 2003 and 2005. Both of these experiences were quite different, but equally as powerful. I'm still eager to go again. I can not wait to see what God will be doing during the week.

New Adventures

I want to be a part of this workcamp to get a new perspective on life in general. To experience a different way of life and to share our blessings with someone less fortunate. I am hoping to make a difference in someone else's life by improving their living situation. Mostly, I am excited about sharing this experience with Kevin and Casey and hopefully this will open their eyes to something much bigger than anything they can imagine.

Response

I want to be part of this workcamp trip because I want to challenge myself. Of course I am excited to help other people through Jesus, but I'm glad to be challenged in a way I'm not normally challenged. I'm glad I'm going to work with and meet new people, and I hope to learn and grow from this experience in many ways.

I want to be part of this workcamp trip because it will give me a change to help those in need, proclaiming Jesus's name through my actions. I also hope to establish relationships with people that will last for much longer than the trip. Can't wait...
