Youth Tour 2000
Youth Tour 2000 returned July 27, 2000. It began as a vision birthed through Carol Houston in July 1999. On a flight from Richmond, Virginia to Atlanta, Georgia, Ms. Houston knew that she could take her youth from the Watts area of South Central Los Angeles on a cross-
Ms. Houston knew immediately how expensive this tour would be. As quickly as she had this thought, she had the solution. Each child would be challenged to raise $1,000.00. Ms. Houston committed to match their $1,000.00 contribution to cover the $2,000.00 cost per person.Our tour traveled to 29 states and the District of Columbia in 24 days.
We had 26 children who met the challenge and participated on this remarkable trip! Our tour exposed the children of our church and community to the richness and vastness of our country. For many this was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Funds were raised by the children, their parents, their church, and many others who responded and contributed to this wonderful vision.
