Service Project-Making an Impact

Wow....typically I write about leadership, management, or etc but today I am writing about a service project I was involved in on Saturday.

This service project involved youth ages 14 to 18 and then a group of "older guys" that completed lawn work for two families in our small community.  It was an awesome morning of serving together and loving on our community.



The morning started off with the threat of rain and cold temperatures but the guys were not phased.  Right off the bat we sent older guys and a group of youth to knock out a project and we were working hard.  We had young guys who had never mowed, operated a weed eater, or used equipment such as leaf blower and pressure washers.




This was a new experiance for the guys on so many different levels.  It was awesome to see our older guys jump in beside the high school guys and lead them, and even better I saw 16 year olds leading 14 year olds.  That is the part of leadership you can't teach.......the heart of a leader.

It was awesome to see that we have a upcoming generation that can lead and work hard.  At the end of the day we had touched the hearts of the families and put all of us in an awesome adventure.......oh yeah......and a great lunch afterward.
