A Very Special Spring Break

This is what NeighborLink is all about. I love this story. My cousin Kendra and her husband Kevin along with their three kids were on this trip. They are from Lifepoint Community Church in Findlay, Ohio. Kevin is the Pastor there. My nephew Cody is the one being interviewed on the ladder in the video.

Did You Know?

Did you know that when you register at NeighborLinkpc.org, you can set it up to notify you when new projects are posted that fit your skill level? Let's say that you would be able to help someone with transportation or electrical work, when a project gets posted with that criteria, the website will send you an email to let you know that there is a new project. This keeps you from having to visit the site everyday. All you have to do is go to Email Notifications and click on the projects that you would like to be notified about.

Did you also know that, in order to even take someone to the Dr., you must be a Coach? This is to help protect our clients privacy. In order to become a coach, we just need to conduct a brief interview to find out a little about you and why you would like to serve. So, if there is something on the website that you would like to do, but it says Coach Needed, just contact me and I will be happy to help you get started. It's really very simple. You don't have to commit to large amounts of time or energy to be a Coach, you just have to be a willing volunteer. You choose the time and type of project you would like to be involved in. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions at 617-2077.

A Grateful Heart

My heart is filled with gratitude today! Yesterday, I was praying desperately for the needs of those on our website to be met and today I find out that at least eight, yes eight, projects are now in the planning stages thanks to two of our local churches. We want to thank those who are stepping forward from Ogden Dunes Community Church and Duneland Community Church. We serve a mighty God, who through these people is meeting the needs in our community. I hope you are enjoying the warm weather and that it will inspire you to get out and serve as well!

In Him,

NeighborLink Is Expanding!

There are some great things happening with NeighborLink and one of them is that there is now a NeighborLink St. Louis! And there is another group in Auburn, Indiana that is giving serious thought to starting a NeighborLink there! Can you imagine the possibility of NeighborLinks popping up all over the country. Just think of how many people could be impacted by their neighbors showing them the Love of Christ and being the hands and feet of Christ! I get goosebumps just thinking about it!

In addition to our Go Day on Saturday, April 4th, NeighborLink Fort Wayne is trying to organize a Service Project Day. This is really the same as a Go Day, but we would like to have all four of our sister organizations out serving in the name of Christ that day. The date they have scheduled for this is Saturday, April 18th, which just happens to be Earth Day. We are trying to plan some projects with the local street departments. If for some reason you can't join us on April 4th, then maybe you can join us on the 18th.

Don't ever feel like you have to wait for Service Days to serve. Anytime it fits your schedule, you are welcome to go and select a project from the list and complete it. There are many projects listed and none of them can be completed without your involvement.

I am praying that the Spirit will move you to serve!

In Him,
Larry and Judy Alders

Saturday, April 4th Go Day

We hope you can join us for our next Go Day. There are a lot of projects on the site that need some skilled and unskilled labor. Please consider how you might be able to serve those in our community that day. We can't complete these projects without you. We will be meeting at Liberty Bible Church at 8:30 am. We will meet in the Cafe at entrance A.

If you are a Coach, feel free to grab a project off the site. If you are a volunteer, watch for those projects that say "Accepting Volunteers" and then log in to volunteer on that project.

We look forward to working with you!

In Him,
Larry & Judy Alders
