Recently, I took over being a part of the team that leads the teens at our church and we decided that we could host an event entitled Homeless 4 a night. It is my desire as a leader to ensure that this generation of young people step out of the "its about me" mentality and begin to think about others and how the simplest things can change a life forever.
The guidelines were you have to come with your own housing and food we would provide them with nothing..(except the bathroom) .. in the pictures you will see we did offer them the outhouse... :]
The night was filled with questions and concerns for homelessness.... and in the end I think each student has developed more compassion for those who are not as fortunate as them and a better understand for some of the causes of homelessness.
Join us for our next adventure STREET BLITZ... July 15-17th. we will be headed to the safe haven connected with the street ministry we do to spend the weekend with the women and children there and on the streets sharing the love of JESUS... The only requirement to join us is a willingness to be HIS hands and feet. We are all called but few will answer...what will you do?

Can I steal this? You just write things so beautifully I find no need to re-invent the wheel.
