Never felt it more than i do this moment. Reporter texans havent voted for democratic president ial candidate since jimmy carter. But polls show President Trump and former Vice President joe biden in a dead heat. 38 electoral votes. If biden pulls off win here, trump would have virtually no path to victory. Quarter of the state is women of color, most likely democrats. With population that dwarves the numbers that trump won that state. True battleground state.

Far from the pews and pulpits, one summer camp is preaching acceptance and practicing Love Thy Neighbor around campfires. Heres my coanchor byron pitts with this turning point story. Reporter in southern kentucky, heaven meets the hillside. Horseback riding, boating, but these are appetizers to the real entree, a radical experiment going on in these mounts almost 20 years. Very focused on diversity. Reporter place with audacious idea that racial reconciliation can happen at summer camp. Process is simple, bring kids and Families Together from different backgrounds, races, ethnicities, in hopes of fostering lifechanging relationships. Tommy rhodes is the founder. Being barefoot is a posture, all you can see is somebodys feet, dont know if theyre a prince or pauper. Grew up in family, all black and white. Didnt fit in. Didnt know how god was going to utilize the story. Applied to today. Reporter unabashedly christian, trying to be what heaven will look like. Mission is christcentered and up front about that, but also inviting others into it. Feel like whole idea of people of different backgrounds is what jesus modeled for us. Reporter joined nine other families at barefoot, smaller version of the usual camp. Excited to come to barefoot. Reporter diversity is woven into their life. We live in neighborhood thats predominantly caucasian, when i look at my daughters, yearbook photo, see every other child is fully caucasian, i think wow, my daughter is missing out. I think theres something powerful about being taken out of your normal, coming together and meeting someone, hearing their stories. I have a lot of people come alongside me, say im excited about your mission, taught kids to be colorblind, i have pit in my stomach when i hear that. God created us to see color, created the color. For us to not see and acknowledge our differences, missing out on so much of creation. Opportunity at barefoot is not be colorblind but acknowledge how beautiful this world is that god has given us. Reporter thomas is barefoots director of community relations. Sees this as inflection point. George floyd and ahmad arbery, i believe everybodys eyes have been opened to see there is an issue, still a racial issue in this country. Reporter says for too long churches across america have shrunk away from issues of race. If we believe what bible said, believe who jesus was, we should be the ones leading the charge when it comes to loving and tearing down the wall of racism. I feel like we arent the ones, we follow in later. We have to wake up. When barefoot started in 2002, one of the Biggest Challenges was attracting campers affluent and white. Theres a lot of fear associated with sending kids to place theyre going to be in minority. Its turning the tables upside down a little bit. Great to get to know other families that focus on the same things i do. Reporter family coming for years. 14yearold molly, camp regular, this moment in the country has been eye opening. Didnt recognize there was a problem until people started speaking out about it. Changed my perspective on what a lot of people go through that i dont see and understand because i have the privilege of not having to go through all that stuff. Its heightened our awareness. We could be more, better. Its more than accept you, i need you, need your perspective to make me better and viceversa. For campers, teaches them people that may not look like them could be really good, lifelong friends. Reporter first came in 2006. You punch your chest as if youre talking about a relative. Its very dear to my heart. Reporter she attended for six years. What i liked about barefoot, what i remember being a camper, youre not majority in the room. Reporter shes carried experience into her career, works at Juvenile Hall in Orange County california with kids who are incarcerated. How did your experience influence the woman you have become . Barefoot prepared me to know theres a spectrum of trauma that people experience and normalcy that people experience, but theres opportunity to be with people and love them. If you show up consistently and are there for them, can change their life. Reporter how relevant do you think barefoot camp is in current climate of america in midst of what many are calling racial reckoning. Being at barefoot, i have friends from different backgrounds and helps me understand how do i advocate for people who do not look like me, make a difference instead of talking about making a difference. Reporter for the families here, the camp can be a model. Society where all faiths can feel at home. Think of a just society, think of design for humanity, design for life, heaven that many of us look forward to. I think its going to look like barefoot, have at the same table black and brown and white and really every color under the sun. Gathering around the table for love. Our thanks to byron.
