I want to publicly thank some awesome volunteers who have served in Beyond the Walls oil change outreach this year. There are many more to thank than these and I will continue honoring others as well in the weeks to come, but I’ve chosen these individuals to write about today.
The first are high school teenagers: Nathaniel, Cathy, and Joshua. It’s amazing when many teenagers (and adults) like to sleep in on a Saturday morning, that these teenagers defy a norm and volunteer their time to helping our single moms. Nathaniel and Joshua are a tremendous help on the pit crew checking out all the vehicle inspection items before the oil and filter are changed. Our pit crew members will tell you their morning runs much smoother when Nathaniel and Joshua are there to help. Cathy has started assisting with helping the children of single moms inside the Fusion Center. She started coming with her parents almost three years ago; now she is giving her gifts to help as well.
High school can be crazy with all kinds of things to do and homework to complete. I’m sure it’s no different with these three. I know they’re also involved in other ministries and activities at Central such as Royal Rangers, Teen Bible Quiz, and youth group activities. But many months you will also see them on the outreach Saturday, smiling and giving God and the outreach team their best. Hooray for our teens!
