"Group Workcamps"

I just returned from a mission's trip with an organization called "Group Workcamps." We went down to Lexington, North Carolina for a week. Wow, what a blast. About 400 teenagers and adults from nine states (everthing from Nebraska to South Carolina). We had people representing 18 different denominations, and we were there to fix up the homes of a lot of people who had fallen on hard times.

I can't say enough about the group from my church, my work crew, and the entire organization of Group Workcamps. All week throughout the hot, muggy weather we pulled together and gave some hope to people at 65 worksites in the Lexington area. The people of that town were so generous and appreciative. We met mayors and city councilmen, school officials, and just the average citizen up and down the line. We crossed denominational and political lines just to help people in need. It was a terrific experience.

I could go on and on. But if you are looking for something really transformational to do, please consider Group Workcamps out of Loveland, Colorado, or an organization like it. Plan on a summer of service next year, and enjoy it as you pitch in to help out other people who are in need.
