Valuable Volunteers

Small pillows and blankets were made by a volunteer friend of the ministry for those who live on the street. She heard of our ministry through her son Shane, who is employed by Paul Blumer. This shows that a thoughtful contribution by someone who is interested in the ministry can have an impact on the people we minister to in Greenville. In effect, she is donating her time for the benefit of others. We are grateful. We know that cold weather is coming and many suffer greatly so we hope to collect more gifts such as blankets, socks, hats, and even sleeping bags (very popular for someone who has no bed). We distribute these items weekly as they are received because there are always new faces and new needs.

We are grateful for the many young volunteers that join us each week to assist us in cooking, cleaning, and serving food. It is wonderful to see that they receive joy by serving others who are less fortunate. We are all making many new friends.

Many of our friends who we minister to are so appreciative that they want to volunteer to help clean and serve. Usually after the meal many will immediately start sweeping, mopping, and wiping the tables, and taking out the trash. We all work together to accomplish a big task. Chris helps me by getting the ice and serving the tea.

We thank God for the help of 13 great volunteers and good friends that allowed us to complete another successful Tuesday night dinner by serving 65 meals at Food for Life.

Let each of us not only look out for our own interests, but also for the interest of others (Philippians 2:4).

Also, thanks to Brad for a great message.
