Our youth participated in the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of Missouri General Assembly this past weekend by working at two of the service project sites. We began the day at a local elementary school where some of the guys were busy spreading mulch and painting while the girls were given the job of changing out the bulletin boards. After about an hour there, we were moved to the Kids Against Hunger site.
Kids Against Hunger is a humanitarian food-aid organization whose mission is to significantly reduce the number of hungry children in the U.S. and to feed starving children throughout the world. Six of our youth and five of our adults joined a larger group of people from the Springfield area to help package over 11,000 highly nutritious, vitamin-fortified soy-rice casseroles in 2 hours. Most of these meals will be sent to Haiti.
After the service projects, we had a bit of fun, and expended a LOT of energy at Big Rock Climbing Gym. We also were led in a couple of Bible Studies by Allyn Dault and Terrell Carter. These dealt with being real followers of Christ.
