The old saying goes that "God couldn't be everywhere and that's why He made
Mothers!" A contemporary version of this adage in the Vincentian tradition could
be, "God is everywhere and even more so when Volunteers are helping!"
Volunteers take ministry to a new dimension: they give new life and new blood
to whatever is happening. In one way, Volunteers help to keep the initial enthusiasm
of a project going. They address old challenges with new insights and they go away,
only to return refreshed and renewed. They add spice to the ho-hum of daily life
and, in the process, create a new approach with greater insight than many who deal
with the challenges everyday.
Where there are Volunteers, there is life, growth, spirit, energy and hope. Without
Volunteers, only a small fraction of anything we attempt could ever be accomplished.
Help us to help others. Volunteer!
Yes! I want to Volunteer. What should I do?
