As some have already heard, the youth have decided not to go to Footprints at the MERCI Center this August since the goal of Footprints has shifted away from mission work and our youth did not want to participate in a program that did not allow them direct access to minister to people in need. I support their decision. As I understand it, our deposit will be refunded by the MERCI Center.
The youth now plan to stay local in the Raleigh/Durham/Knightdale area to do mission work with those in need during that same planned week of Agust 1-7. Plans are currently being firmed up, but our youth will probably be helping at soup kitchens, preparing a meal for a battered women's shelter, distributing clothes to those in need, assisting distribution at our very own food pantry, and having some fun activities. Please pray that our youth will be an effective witness for Christ in their work in our local community this August.
Very interesting, our youth group with goals, and directing their own self determining decisions to further their plans for summer '10.
Hmmm Already sounds like mature-effective witness. I'll pray for the bestest blessings on their deeds.
