Isaiah 6:8 says Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"
It was nearly 3 years ago that Dick Wilson shared his desire to go into semi-retirement. I remember telling God that I wanted to do more for Christian HELP. As a preacher was preaching about Isaiah on the radio, I said to God. "Here am I. Send me!".
As I celebrate my 2nd Anniversary on staff with Christian HELP, I reflect back on that day. I had a strong desire in my heart to help people, to do more, and to do it for God. God answered my prayers in a way that I didn't expect, but I am so blessed that He answered my prayers His way.
Christian HELP is a ministry made up of ordinary people doing God's work. Sometimes people come in and we just don't even know what we can do for them or how to even begin. God has shown us over and over again that He is still on His throne and in control. He can give us the words to say and prayers to pray.
So many people are searching for answers right now as the economy is in shambles. People are coming to us wanting to help. We have more really great volunteers now than ever with a heart to serve. If you are looking for a great place to connect and serve, Christian HELP might be the place for you.
I keep hearing things like I want to do more, God is leading me to Christian HELP, Christian HELP has been on my mind. If God is leading you, listen and respond.
An acquaintance of mine said that when he was looking for a new job, he started praying for God to send him where He is active. I am so blessed to be able to say that God is active at Christian HELP. Dick and Madge Wilson always put God first, and that legacy lives on.
We are called to be the salt and the light in the world. This past Saturday, I had the privilege of attending the celebration of life for a local Pastor's wife who has gone on into eternity. Her strongest desire through her life and her battle with the illness that took her life was to be a light. She said that when she died she wanted to have no spiritual regrets.
Christian HELP is a light in the darkness to many who are searching. People who are experiencing job loss, financial crisis and hunger both physically and spiritually grace our doors. We have an opportunity to listen to them, help them, and minister to them. Won't you share in this?
This year is very challenging for us financially. Because of the economy, our job fair revenue is down. We need your help. We need your prayers, your talents, and if you are able, your treasures. We have matching dollars that extend through April. It is my prayer that you will be a light for Christian HELP by helping us help others.
Thank you.
