Dare2Serve 09

I got to share in the Dare2Serve 09 work week today. It was an awesome experience! Last night was the opening night with an orientation and the Pastor Steve, youth leader, of Berean Church (the host church) talked with us. It was so amazing to hear him talk. He shared that he believes the best way for us to share the love of God is to serve and go on missions. It was very refreshing to hear this and very inspiring. I can totally relate to wanting to serve on mission trips as a way to reach out to others. Today I did this by going to Liberty Park and helping out with a summer program for children. It was amazing how independent these kids were at such a young age! We played with the kids and then ate lunch and after lunch went swimming at the park's pool. I had an interesting experience at the pool... I got pushed in! (Did I mention I was fully clothed!) It was a really fun time and I encourage anyone to serve anywhere because it gives you a great feeling inside and it could change someones life!
