So this week I’m helping out John Pavlovitz, Amie Berryhill and the rest of the Student Ministry Team with Spring Breakthrough 2010.
What is it?
Pretty incredible, actually.
It’s 100 students from Charlotte, Fort Mill, and Lake Wylie spending their spring break in a most unconventional manner: serving people in need.
Instead of a trip to Myrtle Beach, the students are tutoring at-risk children, serving lunch to men in early stages of drug recovery, painting the warehouse of one of the church’s ministry partners, prayer walking the streets of uptown Charlotte, among others.
They’re bunking together at Camp Thunderbird on Lake Wylie and then jumping into vans early each morning to drive to the various ministry sites.
That’s where I come in. Van driver.
It’s a student ministry of which the people of Good Shepherd can be justifiably proud.

I am so proud of these kids! I am also in awe of the leadership and mentoring as well. What an awesome group of people of all ages! Kudos to all who are involved!
This week was quite possibly one of the best I’ve ever spent in my life. I’m encouraged by our youth’s demonstration of faith, love, and desire to serve those in need. The future is bright with these young people carrying out acts of kindness, and demonstrating God’s love like this.
I also quite enjoyed spending the week with you Talbot. It was truly a pleasure to get to know you better, and share thoughts about our church, and group.
Ditto,Jamie!
