NORMAL WEEKEND STUFF: VOLUNTEER WORK AT MY PASTOR'S INNER-CITY MINISTRY

After going to the Eastern Market on Saturday mornings to purchase cut flowers for the church. I prepare to do volunteer work at my Pastor's inner-city Detroit Ministry. One of her 8 ministries is called the "Glorious Freedom Mission" minisitry. It is a ministry of mercy to 'Cass Corridor' needy. Cass Corridor is the area of the city where her ministries are located; also it is the area where I live. Tuesday through Saturday every week, the door is open from 1000AM-0200PM. Poor, indigent people from the area, alot of homeless, substance abusers come to the door,

We give out a lot of sandwiches, sweetrolls, pastries, glasses of water to the hungry, thirsty people as they come. Oftentimes we have emergency foodbags to share with needy families. We give out Christian literature, and look for opportunities to speak to the individuals about the soul's need; pointing them to Christ, that He can change their lives. We offer them hope that their lives can be better. We also invite them to attend our Church services on Sunday Morning and Evening. The Church is right accross the Street.

About ten years ago or so, Pastor Brown asked me to come on Saturday, and man the door as a ministry. I prayed and felt that it was what God wanted me to do. It has been very fulfilling and rewarding to me, also spiritually satisfying.

It has been said that the excercise most beneficial to our own well being is when we help someone else. This relates to all the areas of our live. And of course our businesses are no different. If we forget about ourselves; if we concentrate on what is best for our prospects; the people that we sponsor and are under us; seek to help them solve the problems in their lives, and reach their goals, and dreams and attain the level of success they are looking for, then well know that our efforts have been worthwhile. Not only that but we'll discover that we will have attained our dreams and aspirations also. That is the only way to have real success in Network Marketing. We must become a "MENTOR WITH A SERVANTS HEART" Remember this is a RELATIONSHIP BUSINESS; not a sales business.
