Over the weekend the youth ministers from four suburban congregations took some of their teens into Houston for a day of service that turned out to be very eye opening to them. They assembled at a warehouse that feeds homeless people in Houston. Rather than call them homeless, they Christians at the warehouse call them Outdoorsmen.

The Outdoorsmen live under bridges and any other shelter they can find. The weather in Houston is mild compared to many places, but winter nights can be uncomfortable for anyone stuck outside. The kids made sack lunches and took those, along with blankets to distribute in places most of them would never have dared go alone. They met the men and found them to be real people. They were challenged by one of the outdoorsman to be genuine in their faith, not to just spend one afternoon doing what is right, but to make it a lifestyle.

One of my friends took some video and put together a nice piece on You Tube. If you want a feel good story, take a few minutes to watch it!
