BaseCamp 2011 Day Three

Being at a camp like BaseCamp is kind of like being in the hospital. Or, I guess prison. What I mean by that this is.  You eventually aren’t sure what day it is, and what exactly you have to do today, and what exactly did you do yesterday.

So, today is Day Three of BaseCamp 2011.

I was struck last night at I sat in the back of the building during worship that we as the church undervalue our youth.  We have 150+ young people here this year. They are working. Hard.  I mean, really working.  I’ve not seen a lot of loafing around this week.

And they paid to do this. For some, this is their “youth trip.”  How many of us would pay to come to Hattiesburg during June and work and sweat for people that we don’t even know.  And did I mention that it is June in Mississippi?

And they are doing it, to show God’s love to folks.

So today, as an adult reading this (or a youth not here) this is my challenge to you. Show God’s love to someone in your life.

Get out of comfort zone.

Do something you wouldn’t normally do.

Be His hands and feet.

You can do it. He has lov
