Yesterday I started a blog telling you why I enjoy our national youth conference called “Momentum”.  Today I will continue with my thoughts.

#2. I love Momentum for the serving opportunities!

Every year we go to Momentum, we are always informed about service projects.  Every year each teen has something they come away with for our service project.

In 2007, we stayed at the University of Southern Mississippi and we helped out vicitims from Hurricane Katrina.  Some built homes, some fixed up homes, and some did other things.  It was incredible to help those people in need.

In 2008, we stayed at Cedarville University and went down to the City of Dayton.  Our group handed out food to the homeless and what an incredible experience it was for our group.  The teens really realized how much they had.

As of yesterday, our group found out one thing we will be doing on one of our volunteer serving days.  We will be helping out World Vision with a Food Drive.  Then on Saturday we will be going to a place called McKee’s Rock near Pittsburgh to help out that town.  A majority of the town is under the poverty level and I’m so excited to see what God will do!

Momentum is not just about sitting and listening.  It’s about living out the Scriptures and caring for the widows, orphans, the poor, and others!
