Farewell from GC Session San Antonio
We don’t like goodbyes, so instead we’ll say “See you soon!” Thank you for visiting us at GC Session 2015.
#ServeTheOne Series: Meet the Need
“Service means loving people unconditionally without expecting anything in return. My favorite way to serve is in the urban metropolitan areas. The hooder the better. Quote that.”
#ServeTheOne Series: Use your Gifts
“Service means putting self last and putting others first.
My favorite way to serve is to assist people, especially women. Women happen to be highly vulnerable. I help to empower them. There are so many issues that affect women including poverty, health issues, amongst others. So when you can minimize those issues that affect them through training programs and literacy programs, that’s a great way to help them.”
#ServeTheOne Series: The Arts
“Giving part of who I am and sharing it with other people is what gives me a passion to serve.”
#ServeTheOne Series: The Humanitarians
“Have you seen how faithful God is? It just makes you want to be faithful to Him.”
#ServeTheOne Series: Without Words
“Service is the ultimate way to express spirituality. My favorite way to serve is building relationships with people. How can you build a relationship with someone when you don’t partner or collaborate with them or join them in their needs or joys in their life?
No doubt service events have an impact and a lot of sizzle but the most powerful form of service is just one-on-one. Serving in the most elementary way is just living what you say you believe. Just taking care of others like you would want others to take care of you.”

“I like to serve by teaching small children in school, and I also take the opportunity to teach them about Jesus.”
