We all know that little children can dream. A little boy can become a frog, get small with his legs apart, and then spring up. But can they dream beyond what they see or know?
They have the capacity to dream, but they must have input! This is why we have adult speakers at every camp from many careers and trades. Last year, we had an engineer who talked about breaking the sound barrier. We had a guitarist who owned his own music shop. We had two nurses. We had a well-known Christian speaker who talked about Heaven.
After each speaker, the entire group of over 100 children had a chance with an open mic to answer specific questions. This is a sampling: "What is your favorite color?" "How many years of school did you have?" "How much money do you make?" Etc.
We know that year after year, speakers have inspired dreamers to make career choices that have motivated them to stay in school through high school and beyond.
Project Lost Sheep helps children to dream and then to keep the dream alive beyond all expectation, because God is with us and them.
Inside the local sponsoring church, Verbo in Redwood City, children become teen leaders. An outreaching church becomes an incubator for all dreams to become real.
