When it Rains, it Pours!

"Hey man, how are you doing today?" The 20-something year old turned. I noticed his eyes were red and wet from tears shed. I proceed to introduce myself and he did likewise. "I just had the best day of my life." He said, as tears tried to make their way out again. "God touched me in this service today and I'm so glad that I came with these people." I met his acquaintances that brought him that Father's Day service and then he said something that I probably won't ever forget. "You see, the reason why I'm crying so much is because I never had a father," with a quiver in his voice he proceeded, "And isn't it like God to come and be my Father on Father's Day." I fought back tears myself and thought about you; all of you that pour out your efforts, your time, and your energy to see people like Paul come to meet their Father. I hope you don't see your job as pointless or insignificant because that's exactly what the enemy would like you to think. His biggest desire is that our doors would close and people like Paul would never step foot into a place where their purpose could come alive. Thank you Clovis Volunteers for doing what you're doing- it's working!!! 

Here is our blog. Designed to give vision and direction, and to equip us as leaders. Enjoy! 

We are in a season of rain; therefore our job is to prepare for that rain. How do we do that?
1) Ask for rain in the time of rain.
2) Look for clouds of all shapes and sizes. 
3) Send those Cloud Reports- click HERE to share!

- Finally, we would like to announce our Volunteer of the Week.... You know him, you love him.....

Art Heredia!!!

Art is more than just a volunteer, he goes above and beyond the call of duty. He is always early and willing to stay late! Art is passionate about serving. It could be a cool 68 degrees or a scorching 108 and yet Art is still insistent about serving! We would also like to thank you Art for honoring Andrew and Charissa by volunteering to lead the parking team at their wedding! You are the definition of an excellent volunteer!

Thank you leaders, it is a pleasure serving with you!
