"I often think about the day (after one of Pastor Joe's sermons about serving outside the church) I checked out places to serve and decided to take lunch to True North Ministries. It was truly a "God Day". When we spoke on the phone and learned about each other and True North Ministries.
After helping the young men of True North Ministries learn more about the donkeys, their care, grooming, leading, massaging, etc. I felt a deeper hunger to serve again. There are so many ways animals, such as equines, can help people become leaders like Christ. That day I saw so many expressions on the faces of those young men. Young men who may or may not have ever been around animals or have had the opportunity to brush, walk or feel the warmth from an animal. The softness of an innocent animal who may have built up enough trust to gently walk up and brush up against one of the young men or give a nudge with their nose. I saw so many curious smiles that day and felt like my job was not complete."

VERY NICE. YES THERE IS A LOT OF WAYS WE CAN SHARE OUR LOVE OF CHRIST BY HELPING OTHERS.
