Recently I had the great privilege to do a training session for a group of people who will be volunteering in a prayer-line phone bank. A great church in our area, Sagemont Church, Houston, TX, is adding a television broadcast to their ministry outreach. What a great way to spend a Saturday morning!
Now maybe at first you might be thinking that Saturday is a better day to sleep in or get outside during great weather. Yet how much better it is to be in the company of people whose hearts and minds are setting God first. These folks have all the regular demands on their schedules we all share. But they made the time to come out and prepare to help others. Volunteers are a special group of people to start with. However, when they set their hearts and minds to seek God's will to help others its really special.
They came and spent what felt like a tiny moment yet in fact was two hours of training. They listened; they interacted and asked great questions. It's exciting to think how God will use this team to minister to total strangers who call out for someone who will care enough to pray and intercede on their behalf. It is always a special blessing to be used of God and have a small part in seeing others grow and stretch. Please pray these and the many others who give their time to help others. And of course, remember there are always opportunities to serve for those who are willing!
God bless and have a great Lord's Day!
