It goes even younger - all the way to jr high school students who rise to the challenge to serve. So what keeps young people from participating??? Maybe ownership? There's a certain type of personality (I happen to have it) that is entrepreneurial (sp?) and needs to be able to create something as well as participate. What if momma church gave challenge grants to young people - $1000 for a college summer internship and said - ok, go do something. We don't really care what - as long as it serves the world.
