Out-of-state youth group brought 75 kids into a Houston tent city 3 days in a row — no preplanning or parental consent

Back in early June, my 12-year-old daughter went on a youth trip with Leatherwood Baptist Church (we’re from Alabama).

The trip was advertised as a summer camp — beach day, games, food bank service. What actually happened? The youth pastor, Mike Webb, got on Google, searched “where can I find the homeless in Houston,” and took the kids to a tent encampment that popped up.

He talks about it openly in his sermon — admits they weren’t prepared, had nothing to give, and were “just invading their space with 75 people.”

He also said this:
“Ain’t no way I’m getting these kids out of this van. I’ll lose my job. Mamas will be beating down my door.”

But he got them out anyway. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around how this man, who served 12 years as a police officer, is president of the county school board, and a girls' coach, thought this was a good idea.

I’ve included a few photos from the trip below. Can anyone here tell me exactly where this was? I’d like to better understand what area they entered and whether this is a common issue — churches from out of state coming in unprepared and using people’s hardship as a backdrop for photo ops.

He is almost bragging about it from the pulpit, and a local newspaper even published an article about them 'bringing hope to Houston.'

The national outlet MinistryWatch ended up covering the story after I came forward:

And here’s a link to the youth pastor’s sermon where all of this is said in his own words: https://www.youtube.com/live/89-yjIGk9Ic?si=yvKwccRGFUXKhDxL
