During Fair week, Nathan spent several days in Chicago with our church youth group on an UrbanServe Camp/Mission Trip hybrid. It was a perfect blend of worship and learning with service and witnessing opportunities. Oh, and there was plenty of time for fun!
Ready to get on the bus!
They stayed in the dorms on Wheaton's campus. There were hundreds of other youth from around the country. They spent their evenings all together in a service on campus. Nathan loved the band (Unhindered), and said the speaker Darren Whitehead was REALLY good!
Their mornings were spent running a VBS style program with 35 or so inner city kids at an apartment complex nearby. This was the service project for youth from our church. Other groups had other assignments.
In Nathan's own words:
It was an incredible experience for him and we were so glad he had the opportunity to go!
Nathan came home with the title of Suicide Challenge Champion (he gets this from his Dad)
Nathan & buddy Julian
They got to see a few neat artifacts while at Wheaton:
J.R.R. Tolkien's desk
C.S. Lewis's desk
The Lewis family wardrobe (and another friend of Nathan's)
