Often times, people outside the city are reluctant to come in and volunteer in the city. But as God's Word tells us where two or three are gathered in my name there am I.For a long time I had been praying about starting a Girls Bible study which has been non-existent for over a decade, at Teen Haven in the city of York, PA.
And as those prayers were whispered…. a dear sister in the Lord, who herself is battling Lupus, felt the Lord leading her to reach out with her life to young girls. She heard about this ministry opportunity and our need to have someone come and lead the girls program and Teen Haven. She contacted a friend about volunteering with us, and that's where their journey began alongside our ministry.
After our first Bible study, one of the women shared that she was definitely "outside her comfort zone," but the other day after Bible study she told me how much she enjoyed being with the girls and getting to know them personally. She shared that through these growing relationships that she is falling in love with them.
I'm thankful for the power of prayer and the divine timing of our heavenly Father. So if you have never volunteered to help those in need you have missed out on a blessing. Consider giving of your time, talent, and treasure; you won't be disappointed.
