| The UMARMY is affiliated with the
United Methodist Church and is headquartered in Houston. Each summer
hundreds of youth and adult mentors go on working mission trips throughout
Texas. Recently, the organization is spreading to other states. These
mission trips accomplish various tasks to help clients such as building
wheel chair ramps, making minor repairs, cleaning up yards and cutting
grass, painting, and the like. While these activities are of benefit to
clients and communities, the primary goal is the spiritual formation of
the youth. The youth work hard for their clients, and the daily worship
and prayer is focused on relating their work experiences to their
spiritual lives. That is to say, they work as part of the body of Christ
in his world and for God's children. In it is an extraordinary
organization that is making disciples for Christ for the transformation of the
world.
The following pictures were taken on Sunday afternoon as the campers began to arrive and settled. At 6:00 PM, the church furnished a magnificent BBQ prepared by Larry Fomby and an army of helpers. We provided chicken, ribs, and links, potato salad, beans, onions, desserts, and drinks for the UM ARMY and church members. |
