Christian Volunteering

ChristianVolunteering.org has launched a campaign and website to equip churches for national volunteer month this April and volunteer week on April 27-May 3. The campaign site provides a searchable directory of nearly 3,000 volunteer opportunities in 1,800 organizations to equip churches to volunteer in their communities.

May God bless you all."
