The Art of Storytelling: Purpose

Everyone has a story to share. This blog will capture and bring to life the stories of ELCA senior high youth from Utah and New Mexico as they spend the week of June 10th-14th hearing the life stories of the people of Salt lake City, UT. The 2013 Justice Journey: The Art of Storytelling is a service oriented youth trip focused on meeting people where they are at, walking along side of them in their lives, and helping them tell their story. Through grace, compassion, and respect we hope to share the love of Jesus Christ with everyone we encounter; not by thinking we know what is best for them, but through genuine service when, where, and how they need it most.
