Tony Campolo came to speak to my InterVarsity group in college. He was, at the time, working with kids in Camden. He brought a group of about 25 of them. They were ages 12 to 17 or so. They sang for us and told us about the city. They were great kids but their stories were - well let's just say I wouldn't have believed them if they hadn't been accompanied by an adult who knew them from home and wouldn't have let them lie about their history. One of my friends went the next summer to work for Urban Promise (Campolo's project in Camden). The stuff kids go through there is awful.
