Hello Everyone!
This is Geoff’s wife, Amy. I am excited about the outreach opportunities that have come our way in just the past 24 hours. Geoff has a wonderful outreach program in the works with children and nature. I support him in his ministry and am excited to see the final product.
I just wanted to share some of the outreach opportunities I am involved in with the community. There are three different types of volunteer services I am involved in and am very excited about. One of them includes offering time once or twice a week at a local Soup Kitchen. This will be a wonderful way to reach the homeless and minister to them. Another outreach project I am working on is spending time at local animal shelters, playing with and walking dogs for just a few hours a week. I believe all dogs deserve a happy existance and love. The final outreach program I am involved in is becoming a foster parent……..to golden retrievers. Haha, bet I scared ya for a sec. The organization I am working through finds loving homes to goldens all over the country. The only thing they ask from a foster parent is love, shelter, and food. They actually take care of the vet expenses, etc… Both Geoff and I are excited about this ministry and welcome goldens into our home. We’ll have to see how well they get along with Dakota and Cheyenne.
Thank you all for your continued prayers and support as we embark on a new chapter in our lives, service to others. Yesterday as I was looking through an Adventist magazine, I found an insert with an hourglass picture on it. The top of it had almost no sand at all while the bottom had a lot of sand, it read, “TIME IS RUNNING OUT!!”. As Christians, we believe this to be true, so we should be doing all we can to reach others and bringing them to Christ. Geoff and I are excited about the various outreach ministries going on in our marriage. We hope that by sharing our message with you, you will too realize your gifts and reach out to others as well.
Thank you for listening. May God bless you all in your journey to reach others.
With Love in Christ,
Amy White
PS. There are many ways to minister to others every day. Just simple acts of kindness from one child of God to another is what God is asking us to do. I found a website in my search yesterday with hundreds of ideas on random acts of kindness. www.actsofkindness.org Another website designed to find volunteer areas in your community is www.volunteermatch.org This website allows you to put in a zip code to find outreach programs available in your own community. I will be praying for you all to find the courage to stand up and reach out to others in need.
PSS. If you haven’t read about Geoff’s new outreach idea/plan, scroll down to the next blog to find out more. Thanks.
at least someone in this family can spell! hehehehe! jk geoff! take care, stay hydrated, and remember: it is not he who wills the forces of nature, but only him who can hold the key in his will. i hope you spend hours and hours trying to figure out what that sentence even means.
