As a Christian, it is very sad to hear people who probably consider themselves very tolerant, who can not tolerate the thought of young people going to Africa to provide care and shoes for children who without them. Let me pose a question : if you knew someone had a medical condition that you were sure would cause their death would you not try to change it? Whether you believe in Jesus or not, these young people are trying to do what they see as right.

Keep up the good work!

how about the brainwashing going on there? how about all missionary talks given to those little children? how about sending those kids to homes of aged and invalid to "exercise" their missionary abilities, before their real "trips"? i don't think this is an objective video, it's just an ad. give 'em shoes and is it ok? how bout next year? will their feet fit into them?

As someone who tries to do my good works as quietly as God instructed, I can never get the bad taste out of my mouth that missionary work and evangelical doctrine has left in my mouth.

Why does a pair of shoes have to be immediately related to God? Why can't the sermon wait until the recipient asks why you do such nice things. If anyone asks why my marriage is good or why I do nice things I'll testify until the cows come home but everyday that I live is a testament to the Lord.

@pm3mlis Beyond the religious context, you are right, this is absolutely a life changing experience, and it's a guarantee you'll look at life differently after one of these trips. Boot camp was hard yes, but let me tell you it allowed me to understand how rough I can take it . Scotland and India were epiphanies for me, maybe not in the way Bob Bland and co. hoped, but it grew me up quickly and gave me insight and reverence for other's way of life and culture, life changing and amazing.

haha! Christianity is the most stupid thing I have ever, ever seen. Out of all the 10 commandments you could have one of them is: "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors wife" Fucking retarded.

I saw a video something like this when I was just 11. I couldn't wait until I was 13. I fell in love with Teen Missions and attended 10 summer camps since then. This video reminds me of my life back at Indian Boot Camp.
