Help your young people discover the rewards of reaching out to those less fortunate. Young people develop spiritual insight through their new experiences at workcamps. The value of the positive response to Jesus' call to serve is recognized when young people love others by their actions.
Young people learn the process of Christian growth.
The New Testament clearly presents Jesus as someone who helps and serves others. Young people feel God's presence when they reach out to help others. This awareness of God's presence stimulates growth. A sense of community builds within a youth group as members plan and work toward a common purpose. As the group shares responsibilities, mutual reliance on one another builds trust and respect.
