Volunteer Information

The Life Application Bible has a wonderful paragraph on eight common excuses for not helping the poor and needy:

  1. They don’t deserve help. They got themselves into poverty; let them get themselves out.
  2. God’s call to help the poor applies to another time.
  3. We don’t know any people like this.
  4. I have my own needs.
  5. Any money I give will be wasted, stolen, or spent. The poor will never see it.
  6. I may become a victim myself.
  7. I don’t know where to start, and I don’t have time.
  8. My little bit won’t make any difference.

“Instead of making excuses, ask what can be done to help. Does your church have programs to help the needy? Could you volunteer to work with a community group that fights poverty? As one individual, you may not be able to accomplish much, but join with similarly motivated people and watch mountains begin to move.”

I couldn’t have said it better. We need your help and prayers…now.
Thanks for helping us keep the light on here at the Lighthouse.
