there is hope

After spending a week with 35 high school students and several college leaders along with two adult youth leaders, there is hope for this country.

These kids are hungry for more of God, they praise Him in all they do, they experience His presence. Many of the college kids hope to go into various ministries to reach others. All week, they have worked their hearts out at the camp I run; helping with construction, painting buildings, clearing brush, cleaning many accumulated junk piles (I'm a packrat with construction materials), cleaning the insides of our buildings (yes, they do windows). I haven't heard a single complaint and I see bodies sunburned, scratched, bitten by insects, and yet the kids trod on.

You hear a lot of things about kids going bad, the mischief they're in, criminality among youth, etc. Not these kids. They are inspiring to be around. And they do it for love. Love that God placed in their heart. Wow!
