Each day is filled with work projects, devotions, worship, singing, drama, fun and fellowship with youth from throughout the US. Youth are assigned a “work crew” for one project during the week. They get to know a family and share their lives. Participants stay in a local high school (air mattresses and sleeping bags) and eat in the school cafeteria. Evenings are filled with spirit-filled music and worship, excellent dramatic presentations, recreational activities and group reflections. In addition, this year we’ve been invited to a chicken BBQ with an Amish family in Coopersville, PA!
