How can youth workers in a city come together to impact the community?
Well, here is one example of how that might look. The San Diego North County Inland Network brought churches together for worship and service at Kit Carson Park in Escondido. About 400 students and adults from 13 churches praised God through a student-led worship band. It was powerful as youth leaders from multiple ministries shared Scriptures that led through the entire gospel story.
The next Saturday, many of the same students refurbished the same outdoor amphitheater where they worshipped! Two huge dumpster loads of green waste were hauled out and the amphitheater was repainted.
The City of Escondido's Director of Community Services shared how encouraging it was to see students giving back to the city. He said the city had wanted to get this done for over a year, and the teenagers' efforts had saved the city thousands of dollars! Take a look at the video to get a feel of how these churches came together to serve their community.
