This week is filled with 2 youth groups, with their adult leaders. There are a total of 36 youth: 24 from Carrolton Georgia, and 9 from Washington state. Some of them have been here before, but most have not. With such a large group, more can be accomplished. One group went all the way to Baton Rouge, accomplishing most of what they were assigned to do, even with all the travel time. Some stayed in Waveland,
working on helping to build squares and rectangles of wood which are ultimately going to be stacked into bookcases for the thrift shop. They have accomplished a lot, and this is their second day! We ate in shifts tonight, for it was known that the Baton Rouge group would not make it
back to eat at 6.
Testimonies tonight usually mentioned a desire to serve others. One fellow said his family had been displaced by a hurricane, which was part of the reason he wanted to help.
The Lord us using all of them, and working in their lives.
Anyone interested in having a youth group come: use the age guidelines for Life. (I checked). I t is a great opportunity to serve and to bring the youth close to each other.
