	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. Every UM ARMY camp sponsors a client night when all of the people served are invited for dinner and worship. This was a gala event this year at Camp Newton. There was some fellowship, some basketball, some great food, and a worship service with incredible music. The Methodist Men from Springwoods UMC came all of the way to fry fish for the supper. Delicious!!
