Favorite part of volunteering is connecting with others.
Volunteering is something that just bursts out of me.
Don’t overthink it. Just find one volunteer opportunity to start with. Let it grow in you and open up doors.
It expands a person to realize how much volunteering helps in the ministries of the church. It grows the person who volunteers. Volunteering can be a “behind the scenes” or in outreach and showering love for others. The more you volunteer, the more you feel part of the church family and the more God blesses others through you and grows you in ministry.
Hurricane Ian was a huge disaster and still is ongoing with so many needs. Being a volunteer with the Florida Baptist Disaster Relief when we served as a command center was an overwhelming inspiration as we saw volunteers come from all over Florida and other states. Seeing our church being the command center had a huge impact on me.
After I graduated from high school I was an intern with the Salvation Army. It set in motion a lifelong passion to volunteer.
I thought the fact that I was an intern with the Salvation Army was the little known event in my life. I was trained to work with Unwed Mothers, Delinquent Girls, League of Mercy work and working with youth. Also I worked with the USO to help feed soldiers and national guard after an awful hurricane in Jacksonville, FL. While passing out meals to the first responders on Jacksonville Beach, I met President Lyndon Johnson who came to see the destruction.
