FCWC Video and Statistics

the-story

Here is the link for the Flower City Work Camp Video I created telling of our amazing week:

Here are some of facts / statistics from this years Flower City Work Camp:

- Over 65 churches from all different denominations

- Over 650 students from across Rochester city gave up their Spring Break to serve others

- 53 houses renovated, all of which hung a sign to say it was because of the love of Jesus

- 1,000 kids came to participate at the sidewalk clubs over the course of the week!

- Close to 200 kids made first time commitments to Christ!

- Calvary Assembly had 15 kids, over 15 adults, plus parents, from our church which was a HUGE first year response!

As I shared at church on Sunday morning, my personal favorite part was seeing the balance between serving others, while also learning and growing individually.  The FCWC experience is holistic: serving and discipleship.  Our night sessions and “cabin time talks” were some of the best I’ve had with the students here.

I also wrote more about FCWC in another post before the week if you would like to find out more.
