Here is our latest installment in our NeighborLink Tutorial Video Series. Co-Founder, John Barce, talks about how to engage the recipient and setup your projects so everyone has the chance to meet, interact, and start building a relationship with who were there to serve.

We care more about relationships than we do about getting lots of projects done each year.

Last night I had theprivilegeof cleaning up some leaves and mowing the yard for a woman named Gail. Gail is a wonderful woman who has two bad knees and scheduled to have both of them replaced soon. From talking to her I found out that she spends a lot of time caring for her 80 year old mother and 103 year old grandmother.

Given her knees and the life circumstances of her family, she has a hard time keeping up with basic tasks like this especially when her grandson who normally helps is in the middle of track season.

I have a hard time prioritizing time to get out and do NeighborLink projects on my own. The demands of the day-to-day keep me busier than I used to be and to be honest, the hundreds of requests burden me to a place where I sometimes forget that all of this is possible. When I do get out, I am always reminded of how easy it is to meet new people and offer a helping hand.

Last night didnt take me more than an hour and a half. If I would have had one or two more people, it would have only taken 30-40 minutes. Who cant spare that kind of time once a week?

For the few of you that thought about joining me last night as part of the Fort Wayne Tweetup For Good, I think you missed out on an opportunity to meet a great Fort Wayne citizen named Gail and see a part of our great city that youve maybe never seen.

Maybe next time.

Here is a video of the recent trip The Chapel took to Henryville, IN to help with tornado relief. This is a great testimony to the generosity of many Fort Wayne churches and people who have committed tons of time to supporting natural disaster relief all over the country in the past decade.

Im glad to receive the volunteers from the Chapel on a regular basis at NeighborLink Fort Wayne.
