Waiting!

It occurred to me today that NLPC has turned into the recipient while we wait to hear about grants that we have recently submitted. Normally, NeighborLink Coaches are the ones who are determining who's projects get completed on the site based on the Coaches skill level. But now NeighborLink is on the receiving end of that waiting game and I have to tell you it stinks!

I now know what it feels like to be one of those waiting for help on our site. It is so hard waiting, when there are people you want to help and things you want to accomplish, but you can't.

Those requesting help on the NeighborLink site are seniors, disabled, single moms, widowed, unemployed and a host of others. These people need you, because they aren't phyically able, they don't have the funding available or they don't have the level of skill necessary to do the work. They simply can't help themselves right now and there aren't a lot of other places they can turn.

Jesus was the one who chose to help these people. And today, you have the opportunity to be His hands and His feet. Right now there are 21 families waiting for help on the NeighborLink site. Do you have the gift of plumbing, painting, yard work, cleaning, roofing, home improvement or construction? Check out our website NeighborLink Porter County and lift a burden for a neighbor in need. If you need help or funding for a project, please contact me and we can talk more about it.

In Him,
