The Tallowood 8th graders are taking over the blog this week to bring you stories from our experiences at World Changers 2008!

We are in Shreveport, Louisiana staying at Camp Bethany. There are seven Tallowood students and three adults. While we’re here, we’ll be working on several different job sites painting, building, roofing and working on other construction projects.

Before church this morning, we split up into our work crews. We are each on a crew with one or two other people from Tallowood, plus youth and leaders from churches from all over the Southeast.

After church, we drove to our work sites and met with the people we’ll be serving this week. We also had the opportunity to walk around the neighborhood and tell other people what we’re doing and why we’re doing it.

Pray that this week will be an amazing experience for our students, exposing them new ways to serve others in the name of Christ. Pray that each of us will have an opportunity to share Christ with someone at our work sites. Pray that we will not be discouraged by the heat, but instead be encouraged by the amount of lives we will be able to touch!

More to come soon! You’ll hopefully be hearing from the students as the week progresses, and we’ll post as many pictures as possible!!
