The storm last Friday did a "bit" of damage to a bunch of fences in our neighborhood. So Saturday was spent fixing our fence and a church members house down the street. Of course, it was made much easier due to the help of Michael Horn and Adam Lubbers, two of our youth. And I know why they helped. They did not need something in return, they did not need recognition. They simply helped out because it was the right thing to do. I am sure it probably would have been more fun play outside, sleep, or do something else on a Saturday afternoon. But, that is not what is important, and Michael and Adam and a lot of our other youth realize that.
It should come as no surprise that 23 of our youth (and 9 adults) are giving up a week of their summer to go to Willard, MO to help others. It will be hard work, it will be pretty hot, and they are paying to go on the trip. They could be doing something else, but they are choosing to go on a mission trip because it is the right thing to do.
Simple as that, its the right thing to do and they want to do it.
