Memories and Meditations of a Workcamper

For many years I have been encouraged by the thought: “You can count the seeds in an apple, but you cannot count the apples in a seed.”

Now that the time is coming, after thirty-three years of weekend workcamping, to entrust this instrument of God’s purpose to other hands, I feel moved to share some of the prayers and insights and experiences that have prodded me on. I want to share these primarily with my extended family of workcampers—the seeds in my apple—that are now scattered around the world trying to carry out the implications of workcamp in their lives. If these thoughts carry any meaning and challenge to others as well, I can only be glad.
