“Participants learn that serving others can make a difference because of Jesus Christ,” said Jim Lohman, associate director of LCMS Youth Ministry for Youth Gatherings and Servant Events.
Lohman noted that Servant Events cover a broad range of experiences including construction, human care, outreach, environmental care, and family events; and often take place in multicultural settings.
“Servant Event participants have made a difference in the lives of thousands of others,” Lohman said.
