Thanks for Praying!


In October, Love INC asked individuals, families and partner churches to pray for God to guide and bless Love INC.  We were especially in need of workers (volunteers) to serve in the office and on the phones.  God has answered your prayers!

Several new Intake Workers and Receptionists, along with other office volunteers and volunteers to serve our neighbors who have real needs, have come forward.  God has moved their hearts, and they have responded!  These volunteers are busy at work now, learning and being trained, and serving -- making Love INC the incredible manifestation of God's love in Gallatin County that it is.

Please keep praying, because a few shifts are still open.  Or, consider starting the New Year off with the joy of serving Christ and being a part of Love INC's wise and careful, relational approach to helping our neighbors -- consider volunteering with Love INC in 2013!

Again, we thank God for the provision He gives, and the answer to our prayers!

Love INC At Work

First, the good news:  During the first quarter of 2012, Love INC's church partners met 1,014 adult needs and 893 children's needs.  Through the Love INC ministry center office, more than 3,200 needs of our neighbors were referred to church volunteers!  More than 13,350 hours of service were graciously given by Christians to serve their neighbors in need.  God is blessing lives through Love INC's work of connecting churches to people in our area who need a helping hand.

Now, the somber news (not "bad news;" rather, a call and a tremendous opportunity for God's people):  During this same time period, the Love INC ministry center in any given week had between 26 and 39 volunteer workers from churches who served in it.  This office needs at least 80 Christians from local churches in order to properly run.  We've been experiencing a tremendous load (and accomplishment) for only a few, dedicated people.  

Love INC needs help from Christians.  Love INC was built by its partners as a place for us all to serve, using our everyday skills and talents.  Can you help support Love INC's ministry by working in an office environment?  You can serve Christ in a pleasant place where your efforts will truly make a difference in the lives of people right here in Gallatin County. 

Most serious:  This need is critical.  To operate well, the Intake Office of Love INC needs 40 workers each week (if each worker takes a 2-hour shift, one day per week).  Right now, the Intake Office fluctuates between 8 and 10 workers!  Help is needed from Christians who can listen to a phone call, follow a script, record some information on a form and spare 2 hours per week!  You will find yourself growing and serving Christ in a meaningful way by using a phone and giving only 2 hours each week.  Is Christ calling you?

To be clear: the Intake Office is where people request help over the phone.  Servants of Christ from partner churches are trained and listen to these phone calls. The kinds of calls a worker "takes" depends on their training and experience level, and the desires of the worker.  Some workers even specialize in calling up volunteers from a list to see if they are available to serve a neighbor in need on a given day (volunteers sign up ahead of time, indicating their willingness to offer certain talents).

General office positions are also available (filing, mailing, stocking, word processing, administrative help, etc.).

Would you like to know you've made a difference, a real difference, in God's Kingdom?  Do you want to grow in Christ and in your understanding of life?  Do you like to work behind the scenes?  Do you want to "give back" for all you've received?  Can you spare 2 hours per week?  Want to do something different this summer?  Or, for six months, or a year?  Call Love INC today -- an empty chair is waiting for Christ's servant to fill.  Call 587-3008 or email loveincoffice @ yahoo.com (no spaces in the email address) for info.

"The harvest is plentiful...."  Please, be one of Christ's workers!  Join fellow Christians, meet new friends, serve behind the scenes.  And experience the love of Love In the Name of Christ!  Love INC needs you.  Christ needs you.  


All Love INC ministry workers are volunteers who must be members or regular attenders of a local Christian church and agree with the faith expressed by the Apostles' Creed (which includes faith in the Trinity, the two natures of Jesus Christ: fully God and fully man, and the virgin birth and bodily Resurrection of Christ).

Eagle Scout Gives to Love INC

Love INC recently benefited by the work of a young Eagle Scout candidate!

For his Eagle Scout project, Warden Maggard of Bozeman approached Love INC to see what he could do to enhance the service Love INC provides and to help support the staff and volunteers. 

Warden worked with staff to select two projects: planning for and landscaping the front of Love INC's office with flowering bushes, and building a hexagonal picnic table for staff and volunteers to use for breaks or outdoor meetings.  Warden asked area businesses to donate the shrubs and building supplies and to help him plan the project. 

Earlier this summer, Warden planted the shrubs and they have beautified our entrance.  The picnic table was finished and delivered in late September. 

Warden has a few more administrative steps to complete with the Scouts to earn his Eagle Scout badge.  We wish him the best and thank him for making Love INC an even more inviting place at which volunteers can joyfully serve!

The Inside View

Put your computer skills to use for the Lord in the Love INC Ministry Center!  If you like working alone on a computer, are a detail-oriented person with clear thinking skills, and can type accurately to enter data from a paper form, Love INC has a key volunteer position awaiting you.

Work from the inside and see the client needs and volunteer response through this highly confidential position.  Provide quality assurance through review of client cases during data entry.  Few positions at Love INC provide a more thorough "inside look" at hurting lives and the wonderful Christian response than this position. 

You can pick your day(s) and time (weekday, any time between 9:30 a.m. and 4 p.m.), with a shift of at least 2 hours/week.  Flexible scheduling, if needed.  Love INC is seeking one dedicated individual who will take this on as his/her own ministry of outreach, serving through Love INC behind the scenes.

Receptionists Needed

Have you ever wondered how you can serve Christ and help your neighbors?  Have you wanted to make a difference in our community?  The Love INC phone lines are ringing and you can be the "voice of Christ" to answer a call for help.

If you can answer a phone, take messages and serve two hours per week (or more) in the office, you can have a ministry in a key Love INC position as a phone receptionist -- the front lines of Love INC.   All Love INC ministry begins with a phone call.  You can serve Christ behind the scenes, surrounded by caring Christians.

Please contact the office today via email:  loveincoffice@yahoo.com  for information or to volunteer.  You will receive training and assistance in the position.  Several receptionist shifts are open during each week, which means the phones are ringing with no one to answer them.

A resident of Gallatin County with a need is calling Christians for help and hope.  Can you take a shift and answer the phone?

(Note: All Love In the Name of Christ volunteers are practicing Christians who regularly attend a local Christian church and can subscribe to the faith outlined in the Apostles' Creed.)
