MT ’11 Day #6

Without fail people are transformed by an experience of shared community. And when I say “shared” I mean it in every sense. We live, sleep, shower, eat, work, play, worship, laugh, and cry in a shared community. This breaks down so many of the barriers we build up for personal security.
Friday night was an opportunity for everyone to share what they will take from this week. It has not been easy, and it was never advertised to be so. But the strength and courage of youth will always be an inspiration to me. They are resilient, flexible, and always ready to meet a challenge head-on.
When Jesus says, “you must have faith like a child”, this must have been what he was talking about.
We didn’t build a house this week, but I am confident we layed a foundation of hope and promise that the youth can and will build on for the rest of their lives.
