    These kids from Ohio are IMPRESSIVE! They were only to work 1/2 day today ending at noon. Well, after lunch they decided that the mission wasn't done as I still had a pile of wood left to split and they didn't complete the work for the military family. So they went back to the the family's home and split and stacked all the wood we cut yesterday and cleaned up the yard. They then all came back and began splitting and stacking what was left here. They are still out there. These Ohio kids are awesome!!!

    The last pic, did they actually form a chain and pass wood from one kid to another to get that wood up the hill?
    You need to get them here every year.

    The Ohio kids just finished. This week they have delivered 16 cords of wood to 4 families, the total wood split and stacked at the military family's home was about 6 cords and they split and stacked here at our home, New Life Wood Ministry, approx. 12 cord. These kids processed 34 cords of firewood. These kids humble me. It makes my heart smile that these young men and women would come here, spend a week of their lives working HARD in this oppressive heat all week to help others. This, this right here is being the hands and feet of Christ. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!!!!!

    Awesome group of young adults...

    I don't think of them as kids, I think they deserve the respect.

    :yes:

    If those kids were indicative of all Buckeyes, I'd already have a home there

    I'm certain that one can still find that caliber of fine youth in NY.. unfortunately they are the minority. (everywhere)
