When they say they "love you" they mean it!

RFKC is a place where kids that have suffered abuse and neglect find hope and learn to trust again. A moment at camp captured this truth perfectly.

One of our counselors overheard another male counselor as he tucked his boys in for the evening. The counselor was telling the boys, "I love you guys - goodnight." The boys settled in their beds and the counselor left to use the restroom. Another counselor laid in his bunk nearby and heard the boys talking. One of the boys began to talk about the counselor saying I love you and making fun of the counselor, "yeeewww, I luuvvvv youuuu!" The other boy quickly shut him down and stated, "no, when these people tell you they love you they mean it - they are not like other people."

This is the story behind RFKC. God's people telling kids that have suffered great injustice that God loves them. God's people allowing Him to use their tired bodies, fragile emotions and weary hands to speak His love and acceptance over kids that rarely feel accepted. This is RFKC. God moving through His people and kids being blessed.
