Last summer, many of you know that I worked at Lagniappe Church in Bay St. Louis, MS. We did construction work and worked with a lot of volunteers from all over the country. I have done many things with my summers since high school. Let's do a little recap:
2002, 2003, 2004 - Twin Lakes Summer Camp
2005 - Alpine Camp for Boys
2006 - Co-oped in East TN
2007 - Lagniappe Construction Internship
I have to say, all of those things played a particular role in my life at the time, but I really can say that my summer at Lagniappe was one of my favorites. I didn't make much (only what I raised from friends and family (thanks! if you supported me last summer :) ) compared to co-oping at an engineering company, but it was soooo much more rewarding in other ways.
If you want to minister to families and build lots of relationships you would never have the opportunity to make.
If you would like to live with 13-14 other people your age for 24 hours a day for 12 weeks
If you want to do construction work and get sweaty all day long
If you want to meet people who are real, but not perfect
If you like working with people from around the country
If you want to hear a real Gospel message every Sunday and see people living it every other day of the week
If you want to learn new things about construction that you've never had the chance to learn
If you want to see how the Gospel changes relationships and allows us to see our brokenness and accept God's grace
If you have a passion for helping people in a time of need
If you don't know what you're doing this summer yet...
Then I challenge you to consider spending this summer at Lagniappe- it is not the only place that God is working, but it is a place that he is working. Please let me know if you want more information
