Local Ministry Opportunities

A few months ago the Lewis County ministerial association held a mission's fair, where I was made aware of MANY wonderful ministries in our community! These ministries are doing amazing things to meet the many needs in our community! If you feel God leading you to serve, here are a few options to consider. . .
  
Possibilities Pregnancy Center 
I've been able to meet many of the kind staff there and they do SO much to help vulnerable women and children in our community! The Possibilities team is currently in need of a dedicated volunteer to serve as Client Coordinator in Morton on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month from 12PM-4PM. Click this link to their website and also their newest update: 

SAFE Family Ministries
This ministry is near and dear to my heart and I've been blessed to see the transforming power of Christ in the hearts of the residents there! SAFE's mission is to offer hope and healing to women and children through a new life in Christ, and they are doing just that! 
They have needs for volunteers from lawn care, sorting donations, and doing room searches, or even being an Encourager to a resident. If God has placed this ministry on your heart, now is a good time to volunteer!

Lewis County Gospel Mission
The gospel mission helps meet the needs of the homeless and needy people in our community through the mission house and the Lewis County Jail. Their goal is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ, and provide for the physical and spiritual needs of homeless in our community.
Volunteers are needed for serving and food preparation and much more! Several Shoestring gals/guys volunteer there and enjoy it immensely! You'll find it a wonderful place to serve and love others for Christ's sake! Here is their website:

An update on our local Pro-Life ministry will be written soon... so check back in!

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink; I was a stranger and you invited me in; naked, and you clothed me; I was sick and you visited me; I was in prison and you came to me."
(Mtt. 25:35 NASB)
