Expense accounts. A budget and a big space. Many volunteers and tons of fun activities. These are a just a few of the items that modern day youth workers will require to get started. These are just the bare minimums, right? Carmen comes in at a different angle. Her heart lies with the orphans and the poor, so she followed her dreams and served in Central America. When she returned, she saw a need with the youth of her local church and was encouraged to serve there. She had no training or even a great sense of calling to this position, but she knew that this youth needed to be fed and grow in the Word.
She still has an avenue to serve the outcast. With her training as an artist, she volunteers at the local daycare. Kids up to 13 years of age, many of them gypsies, come and have a creative outlet through sculpting, painting, and other arts.
Even though Carmen believes that she will one day serve with derelict youth, she is does not pass up an opportunity to join the harvest right now.
