Witnessing the life change that Jesus creates, never gets old. It can come in many shapes and sizes. One of the ways that LifePoint’s members can exhibit and witness the love of Christ is through our network of volunteers. Serving as a volunteer at LifePoint allows our members to engage in personal ministry using each of the unique gifts that God has given us all (see lifepointchurch.org/serve). Our volunteers serve as the basis of our ministry and they help connect our members and guests by being the hands and feet of the body of Jesus Christ. Here’s a story from a LifePoint volunteer.

I haven’t been a Christian long. But thanks to the incredible ministry at LifePoint Church, I realized what was missing in my life and have allowed Jesus to begin radical changes within me.

Shortly after receiving Christ, I began to serve in the Preschool ministry. I was so thankful to God for the chance to bring glory to His kingdom by allowing me to teach and influence some of God’s most precious gifts, children. At first I didn’t realize that being the hands and feet of Christ wasn’t just limited to teaching little ones. God was also using me to reach one of the most important persons in my life, my husband.

At the time that I let Christ into my heart, my husband was a recovering alcoholic who had not yet found Jesus. Through all of my excitement of my new found life in Christ, my husband began to become interested in what this “church thing” was all about. At first he started to attend church every now and then, when he was motivated to get out of bed or it didn’t interfere with kickoff to a Titans game. This went on for a time, until I could begin to see Christ working in his life.

My husband began to transform and began attending LifePoint on a weekly basis. Up until this point he still had yet to completely surrender to Jesus. After attending the first service, my husband would go home while I served in Preschool, during the second service. As I continued to pray for my husband, the change finally happened.

My husband and I, now both surrendered to Christ, attend service on a weekly basis and also serve alongside each other in Preschool ministry. Our lives are so radically different with God in control and our friends have noticed the changes in our lives from as recent as a year ago. We thank the ministry of LifePoint for communicating to us the value of God’s love and grace and we try to teach that to preschoolers while remembering that we are there to love on those beautiful children as well as all of the adults that the Preschool ministry can reach as well.
