For me, there is no question of “why I do what I do?” Simply put, I’m called! I don’t mean that to sound ‘haughty’ but when we’re called by God to something we don’t ask “why?”, we ask “what’s my next step?”
However, if I had to sit down and write out 3 reasons I LOVE to do what I do…3 reasons why I do what I do. It would probably go something like this…
LIFE CHANGE
Getting to see and hear the stories of LIFE CHANGE that happen at NewSpring Church rocks my face off! To hear about people who were lost in sin and now have met Jesus face to face and done a total 180 because of His saving graces…priceless!
Then to think…God let me be a small part of that. WOW, I am not worthy!
KIDS LOVING CHURCH
It’s not a great secret…most kids out there, don’t love church! Many of us growing up would probably openly admit…’yeah, church wasn’t my favorite place to visit.’ I love being at NewSpring where our passion is to see kids LOVE church!
It priceless to get to see kids who LOVE to come to a safe and fun place where they hear about Jesus every week! I mean think about that…forever, church will be a place that holds a special place in their heart…that they LOVE to come to. The impact there is…wow!
Then to think…God let me be a small part of that. WOW, I am not worthy!
FAMILIES EXPERIENCE CHANGE
To get to see LIFE CHANGE at any level is amazing! To get to see Jesus use NewSpring to reach a family…oh WOW! To see a dad get saved, marriages restored, families baptized together…words can’t explain! I mean we are talking a family…a HOME that had NO HOPE…in misery! Then, Jesus intervenes and saves them all and they go from ROCK bottom to SKY high!
Then to think…God let me be a small part of that. WOW, I am not worthy!
The truth is though, I’m not the only one that God lets be a part of these things. Every volunteer in our church plays a HUGE role in each of these and without them it doesn’t happen!
So, I have to naturally add to the list of “why I do what I do”…”Getting to partner with the most AWESOME volunteers in the world!” I mean, these are some of the most amazing people I’ve ever met and with servants hearts that blow me away!! 
So…
Why do you do what you do?

Pudge, It’s great to hear my kids asking literally EVERYDAY if we’re going to church! God has been moving in our family in such an awesome way in the last few weeks, and I cannot wait to see what He has in store. NewSpring is being used by God in such a mighty way, and we are humbled at the chance to be a part of it. Thank you for all you do to help us reach our kids and the world around us!
