Ways You Can Be Involved

Hello everyone, my name is Heather James Mabe and I am the Development Coordinator for the Haven of Rest Ministries.  I would like to take just a moment to share with you a few of the ways YOU can become involved here at the Haven and by doing so, how you will be helping to change someone’s life.
Ways to get involved-
  • Make a one time, a monthly, or an annual gift donation.
  • Donate items to our thrift stores.
  • Become a prayer partner.
  • Volunteer your time and talents.
  • Bring your Missions group, Sunday school class, youth group, family, or friends to the Haven for a tour.
What it will mean when YOU get involved-
  • One more person will have something to eat, somewhere to sleep, a shower, clothes to wear; they will be taught truth, and be shown love.
  • All items donated to our stores are used for our clients, people in need, or sold to raise money that is used to fund the ministry which is working to change lives from the inside out.
  • PRAYER is something we ALL need and is the most powerful gift we have.
  • When you volunteer, you receive even more of a blessing than you realize.  You show how much you care when you give of yourself.
  • By bringing a group by to take a tour, you are opening a door of awareness to others.  So many people have no clue who we are or what we do.  You can help others to see with their own eyes that the Haven of Rest Ministries is so much more than a soup kitchen or homeless shelter.  Together we are saving lives every single day!
I would like to challenge each of you to become more aware of what is taking place within the doors of the Haven, share what you learn with others, establish a plan on what you are going to do to get involved, and then DO IT!!  I promise that you will receive one of the greatest blessings in life by what you do for others.  Thank you so much!
