The night of our Young Life Golf Tournament I left for my 5 week Young Life assignment to serve at Young Life's Oakbridge camp outside of San Diego. Yes that's more than a month away before our wedding (and lots more traveling to come) Crazy? Yes!
I served as a Work Crew boss where I got to spend time encouraging and overseeing high school students that volunteer to serve other people their age for the sake of serving Christ and allowing kids to experience the love of Christ. It's pretty incredible to watch high school students give up a month of their summer to serve in the manner they do! Each of the kids on work crew worked very, very long days and trekked through the five weeks with smiles on their faces and a real joy without complaining that could only come from God. We did play a little throughout and one of the days was a beach day. We even had an all out pancake war in the dining hall after breakfast one day- it was AWESOME!
