Flower City Work Camp 2012
Over this spring break, 700 youth and over 100 adults served the city of Rochester, NY. Homes of the needy were repaired, Sidewalk Clubs ministered to the kids in the area, hundreds of bags of food were given out...just a few things that we did over our spring break!
One of the Bible stories we read and shared with the kids (over 740!) that came to our Bible clubs was from John 6:1-15. It is about a litte boy that gave Jesus his lunch and He feed 5,000 men and thousands of women and chidren too! At the closing service, on of the youths said that this is just what Jesus did during Flower City Work Camp. Jesus took what little we had: our spring break, our minimal remodeling skills, our age, our nervousness, our lack of sleep..... and multiplied it to bless so many. Christ can do great things through us!
Once again, the Bible becomes more than a story! The little story of Jesus feeding the multitude happened with us during Flower City Work Camp. We brought Him what little we had to offer and he blessed the city....So that the city might see Jesus!
Below is my animoto about this awesome experience.
