The Adventure Begins!

As most of you probably know, Jimmy accepted a volunteer position with
AmeriCorps Vista:

(n): A program of volunteers that serve all over the United States for various amounts of time to fight poverty.

"WHOEVER IS KIND TO THE NEEDY HONORS GOD."

-Proverbs 14:31

 He will be working for the next year in Pembroke, NC with
Native American Interfaith Ministries (Healing Lodge):

(n): An organization that "aims to alleviate health disparities among our Native people through awareness, empowerment, and advocacy. We seek to provide wellness and crisis ministry to those in need. This may include but not limited to: domestic violence, health and financial issues, homelessness, substance abuse, and other concerns. "

I am very impressed with this organization (see link above) and so proud of Jimmy for following God's prompting to work with them. He will specifically be in charge of organizing an after school program for children in the area affected by poverty and the hardships accompanied with poverty.

"HE WHO HELPS THE POOR LENDS TO THE LORD, AND HE WILL REWARD HIM FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE." -Proverbs 17:19

Hiking trip in TN, sunset on the road, and a gorgeous rest stop!

Jimmy left on Saturday, July 21st, to start this great adventure! He made many stops on his 18hr drive to North Carolina. Those stops included Columbus, IN (to see his sister-in-law's family), Chattanooga, TN (to see his aunt and uncle), and Atlanta, GA (for an orientation to the Vista program).




Today is his first day of work with the organization in North Carolina, please pray for God to use him in mighty ways!
