Kingswood Church Mini

path houseKingswood youth group from Amarillo, TX arrived at YWAM Tyler for their SST Mini the day after the Servant's Heart youth group. Jake and Brittany stepped into the leadership position and thought the group was amazing. During that week Kingswood served alongside Servant's Heart, adding a team of 24 students and leaders to the Servant's Heart group of 22. Together, they participated in work projects throughout the week.

For the first two days they went into the city of Tyler to work with the organization PATH (People Attempting To Help - find it on the web at http://www.tylerpath.org/). While with PATH they gutted a house and prepped it for remodeling. In just two days, Kingswood, who brought an assortment of tools including hammers, drills, and a table saw, had the whole house ready for renovation. They did everything from taking down ceiling fans to putting up dry wall, scraping mold from the "popcorn" ceiling, and fixing up the yard! It was such a blessing to see this generation rise up to help the community of Tyler through physical labor, and not complain about it. 

After Kingswood tore down and renovated the PATH house, they spent the third full day of their SST Mini working on the YWAM Tyler base. Using their trailer full of tools, the students and staff worked on a house here on campus and helped move dirt along the newly paved section of campus road. 

The best part of working with the Kingswood group was seeing their positive attitudes; it was evident that they are Jesus-loving people.
