"Before my first summer at LOMC I don?t think I ever believed there
was such a thing as Christian community. It seemed like an ideal that
we should strive for, but I didn?t believe any group could truly come
close. But my experiences at LOMC showed me otherwise. In the love of
God there is such a thing as a Christian community, a community whose
foundation is the love of God and true love for one another. And since
that first summer I have tried to help create that community wherever
I have lived. The body of Christ that was the LOMC summer staff has
become my ideal of what living as a member of the Christian community
is all about."
