Paul says, "Good Works is an opportunity
for me to be involved in the lives of people struggling with the issues of
poverty. It seems that every day we see another person who is struggling to
get by. Although we do not have the answers to everyone’s problems, we
can help with some of these. For me it is a great blessing to be able to “open
my hand to the poor in the land”.
I take great joy in seeing volunteers meet real needs in the lives of those
in our community. And sometimes those volunteers are the ones coming to us
for help.
"I have also found that Good Works is not
just a place to help the poor. It is also a place where people can grow. Each
person who intersects with this ministry is faced with the opportunity to take
another step in their journey toward Jesus. It does not matter if you are on
staff, a resident, a volunteer, or an intern. Together we are seeking to be a
community that is growing.
"For me personally, Good Works has been a significant
place of growth and healing in my own journey. The relationships and the tasks
we take on, as well as God’s
Word read and spoken in this ministry, all challenge me to become the person
God created me to be. I have also had to face those areas of my life that keep
me from this kind of growth.
"One of the areas that I have seen the fruit of
this growth is in my family. Lyn, my wife of 22 years, my 16 year-old son Austin,
and my 7 year-old daughter Kierra are gifts
from God to me. God has used Good Works to help me nurture my family into a safe
place for us to grow and become all that he wants us to be."
These are some articles Paul has written.
