Volunteers are Necessary for Successful Ministry
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010The Light House has been blessed by the talents and energies of many volunteers throughout its quarter century of existence. Without this dedicated group of individuals, the Light House would not have endured for so many years, and, subsequently, might not have been around to save the lives of so many babies.
Volunteering for any non-profit requires an investment of time and energy, but, most importantly, it demands a desire on the part of a volunteer, to improve the lives of others, even through the completion of seemingly mundane tasks like stuffing envelopes or filing. Volunteers are not paid employees and as such, are typically assigned the less glamorous projects and responsiblities within an organization.
Some volunteers log an hour of service with an organization, while others devote thousands of hours to non-profits, and maybe only occasionally hear a ‘thank you’ or ‘good job’. Volunteering is supposed to be a reward in and of itself, but if there is no gratitude expressed for a job well done the incentive for a volunteer to continue investing his or her time and energies in a particular organization is eclipsed by this lack of appreciation.
That being said, we at the Light House would like to reiterate how very thankful we are to all of our volunteers, who have and do contribute to the success of this ministry. Without your help, we might not have survived to celebrate our 25th anniversary in 2009. With your help, we will not only survive, but thrive during the next 25 years of ministry.
