The Ripple Effect of Service: Making an Impact on Young Lives

In the busyness of everyday life, it’s easy for children and youth to feel overlooked. Programs like Sportscamp, small groups, and special events provide intentional opportunities to address this, offering young minds a safe space to learn, grow, and explore their spirituality. These moments of presence and care do more than foster development. Through activities, music, crafts and sharing meals together, they combat isolation, remind children of their God-given value, and assure them that they have a friend in Jesus.

The benefits of such service are twofold. Children and youth gain mentors who model kindness, patience, and understanding qualities that inspire them to pursue their potential. For volunteers, it’s an opportunity to share your faith while experiencing the world through the joyful and curious eyes of a child. Even small acts of service create ripples that extend far beyond the moment, strengthening the bonds of community and faith.

Here's how to serve:
You can create the ripple effect, through prayer, donations, and volunteering time for Sportscamp during the one week summer event or at any child/youth event throughout the year. By dedicating time and energy to children and youth, you can lay the groundwork for positive values, confidence, and resilience that they’ll carry into their futures. Whether you're teaching Bible lessons, organizing activities, preparing a snack, or offering words of encouragement, your presence can profoundly shape their lives in lasting ways.

Sow seeds of encouragement to nurture a community with hope, love, and joy. Give ‘em heaven!
