JOURNEY OF THE HEART

In Minnesota alone there are more than 100,000 refugees and around the world more than 1 billion people are undernourished. Jesus doesn’t demand that we solve all the world’s problems, he just calls us to love our neighbor. These neighbors might be nearby and they may be far away, but through this week of service-learning, youth have the opportunity to live out the love of Christ. This week is a mix of the normal camp activities, high adventure experiences and service projects. A portion of the week is spent in the Twin Cities.
