Local Youth ‘Converge’ During Camp That Served
July 2, 2012
Last week, dozens of youth from across Escambia County took part in Converge — a combination youth summer camp and summer missions project to help the community.
Among the week’s projects, the youth took part in beatification projects at Byrneville Elementary and Warrington Middle schools, a food drive for Manna Food Bank, handed out milk and bread in needy neighborhoods and even helped build a house with Habitat for Humanity.
From the North Escambia area, youth groups from Highland Baptist in Molino and Ray’s Chapel in Bogia took part in Converge last week.
“All the kids made new friends and had a great time working and making a difference in the lives of our communities,” youth leader Ramona Preston said.

Great work! Thanks for getting out in the heat and humidity willing to make a difference
When I see people like these, I remember that there is still good in the world.

I just want to say I think it is AWESOME for these kids to have had the opportunity to do the converge this year, my 2 teens did it last year and it totally opened their eyes up to a lot of good things, congratualtions to each and everyone of you and thank you so much for living for GOD and helping the needy.
