This is an email from one of our newest volunteers. We are so very blessed at The LOT Project to have a great group of volunteers, who selflessly serve others. We want to say thank you to each and every one of you who support us with your most precious resources! You are a blessing to us! We believe that The LOT Project is a move of God, and the recent growth in our programs is proof that God is moving! I hope you enjoy this one example of how God is using those who are willing, to move in supernatural ways!
As a new volunteer to The LOT Project, I along with my small group from church served a meal a few weeks ago. As we were setting up and preparing to serve, I made a comment to one of the volunteers that our small group was crazy! What I mean by that is that all are crazy in love with Jesus! Crazy about serving the Jesus we love! Crazy about each other as well as the the least of these! I saw the body of Christ in full function Tuesday as I noticed each one of the group operate in the gifts the Lord has given them. I was blessed as Linda took each hand lovingly as tickets were turned over to her. She smiled, she hugged, she prayed and she loved the least of these! Vickie served well as she went all around to make sure all needs were being met as well as cleaning up after me and Phyllis after we filled cups with chili. I shouted orders to Bill and Rhonda and they were there with more cups, lids, napkins and anything else needed. Ann and Pat were gracious as they dispensed corn muffins and deserts. Michael worked hard passing out drinks, while taking time to laugh with the children. I saw Greg mingle with the folks, pray with them, and I am sure his mind was working on how can we as a group better serve the least of these. Phyllis and I watched Tom help with the dispensing of clothes and share with the folks, as he had help from Linda's son. Kayla was sharing her warm smile with others and helping in any area needed. I have said all of this to encourage volunteers. We are gifted with gifts that enable us to minister to the least of these, and I saw the gifts being used as they flowed naturally by a supernatural God! Yes, I am crazy about serving the least of these!
