BaseCamp 2011 Day Four
Today is the last day of BaseCamp 2011. It’s been a great week of service to the greater Pine Belt area.
We’ve seen yards get cut, bathrooms get fixed, children get loved on, and food given out. It’s been a real great week of being the hands and feet of Jesus. These youth have given of their time, their efforts and of all that they are to really make a difference in the lives of others.
And these last two years I’ve had the privilege of working with BaseCamp, that’s always my take away. You can make a difference. You really can.
That may be one of the most dangerous things that the world can do to us. It can make us believe that we can’t make a difference. That there is nothing that we can do. That it is hopeless. That there is no point in trying to change the world.
That there is no point in trying to change yourself.
I believe in the power of change. I believe in the power of God to change lives. To change the lives of the ones that we serve, and to change our on lives as well.
You can make a difference today. Each smile. Each warm word. Each offer to help someone. Each time you don’t respond in anger. Every little thing you do, you can make a difference.
And, today, God can make a difference in you. You can grow closer. You can be more like Him. You can feel His power and His life in you today. You can be changed.
Today, let’s go make a difference. Each of us, let’s go be the hands and feet of Jesus.
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
