Inspiring Volunteer Perspectives

The impact of the volunteers never stops at the few hours of work they do, their impact has no boundaries. They inspire many more, and enable the growth of tomorrow’s volunteers, making volunteerism eternal. They help people see new perspectives and encourage others to make a difference in their own unique ways by putting their faith in action and serving others.

In an effort to keep volunteerism viral, we are asking our volunteers to share their perspectives and experiences that they experienced during their volunteer work. We thank our volunteers for making a difference and sharing their inspiring experiences.

100 Bible Verses

Proverbs 7:2 reminds us, "Guard my words as your most precious possession. Write them down and also keep them deep within your heart.". One of the most effective ways to sustain your walk with God is spending more time in the Word of God. Just as we have memorized prayers, memorizing the scriptures will help us to be in His presence more than the worries of this world.

God's Word

Comforts you when we are sad
Helps you to resist temptation
Helps you to make wise decisions
Strengthens you when you go through trials
Helps you to know the will of God in your life
Helps you to witness to unbelievers

St. Paul's Letter to the Philippians

Background

The letter is thought to be written in the first century around AD 62 or 63 to the church at Philippi, one of the earliest churches thought to be founded in the 1^st century Rome. The letter shows that the Philippian congregation was very attached to St.Paul, just as he was very fond of them. The church of Philipi has has sent their monetary contributions many times to St. Paul (which St.Paul gratefully acknowledges and are accepted in love).
