I am completely amazed at the commitment of some of our volunteers. I had the privilege of meeting Don Wolgemuth today. Don “volunteers” for Teen Haven. I say “volunteers” with quotation marks because in reality it’s more like he works for Teen Haven.
Don works at least four days a week cutting, splitting and delivering wood. Some of this wood is taken to Teen Haven camp for them to use to heat staff houses or for camp fires. Very important, for as Don said, “A lot of big decisions for Christ are made around the camp fire!”
Most of the wood, however, Don sells. You might think that he’s becoming a rich man, but he’s not. When he delivers the wood, he has the buyer make the check out to Teen Haven. In his years of doing this, he has raised over $81,000 for Teen Haven.
That’s a lot of money, but what impresses me most is why he is doing this. The reason is simple—he loves God. He recognizes the importance of reaching youth for Christ. So he serves “behind the scenes”, providing essential resources for the ministry.
Thank you, Don.
