Urban Plunge

So today I did my training for Urban Plunge at Hope Center. I am very excited about this opportunity to work with youth. This organization helps youth from across the nation come in and work in the Urban (city) environment. Many of these kids are sheltered or come from small towns. The hope of this organization is to help kids see that they have a great opportunity for the kingdom. That if they listen to God they can be called to do something wonderful even as a 12yr up to a 31 yr old ;-)

Today I watched a group from Michigan leaving after spending a whole weekend living in a homeless shelter, feeding the homeless, working them one on one, sharing God with the homeless, and just helping the community of KC in general. These young people were so full of happiness and excitement. Many can't wait to come back while others feel that they didn't want to leave at all. I have a feeling we will be seeing a few of them in the future again!

Praise God for this wonderful opportunity this summer to work for his kingdom helping teenagers learn about those in need.
