A pastor recently shared a text with me that he received from a church volunteer responding to people who reach out through the He Gets Us campaign. It read, “Hey man, I got my first call for prayer. It went well. Thank you for the opportunity to serve in this way. I haven’t been able to meet with someone like this and pray with them since the pandemic began. Strangely, I feel alive again!”
One word sticks out: strangely. The volunteer was surprised by this new way to be part of God’s work. When we release collective might, we create new opportunities and an environment where people can feel alive again.
Everyone’s calling is different. You may serve on the frontline of a ministry helping people grow through a small group or a recovery program. You may be a church planter in rural America or in a bustling city. Maybe you’re an influencer pushing out great content. Or perhaps you’re a donor looking for ways to steward well for kingdom impact. Regardless, we need each other to release the power of our collective might. If two are better than one, then know that you have a role to play.
Connect with friends or colleagues and see where you can contribute your time, talents, or treasure. And watch as God does things you never thought were possible.
