Volunteer Spotlight

TGIF! THANK GOODNESS IT'S FRIDAY! The Gollner's are here!!!

We praise God for Pastor Steve who for the past three years has spent his days off on Friday mornings calling donors to thank them for their gifts on behalf of the Kokomo Rescue Mission. He is the pastor of Mount Gilead Baptist Church, so displaying concern for others comes natural. He prays with the donors himself when asked for prayer and then records the request so the staff can also pray.

Steve and his wife, Angie, have six gorgeous children. Together, as a family, his wife and children also volunteer on Fridays at the Care & Share Store. "We think it is important to volunteer as a family activity," he states, "and since we are home-schoolers, we are able to bring the family in during the school year.

Pastor Steve has spoken during the men's chapel service and has had an opportunity to connect with the residents. After volunteering in the morning, the family joins the residents and other volunteers in our dining room for some yummy lunch. "If you leave hungry [from the dining room], it's your own fault," he laughs.

Pastor Steve has involved with our annual Yes We CAN teen scavenger hunt food drive since the inception of the event. He encourages other pastors to get their youth involved. "I have friends who are also pastors in other cities and from a pastoral perspective, I appreciate the Kokomo Rescue Mission and feel thankful for all that KRM does in our community."

Howard-Miami Mennonite Youth Go "ON MISSION" Without Leaving Home!

They arrived at Kokomo Rescue Mission ready to work, and WORK they did. For two whole days the young people pulled weeds, washed windows, cleaned toys, sorted canned goods and had a great time serving God by serving others.

Thanks so much to every young person and their adult leaders and sponsors!

We are so very grateful for every volunteer, doing jobs large or small. We couldn't make it without you!!
