Volunteer Spotlight: Father's Day BBQ
 NavarrawithSAMMTopofpageDear , 

Happy belated Father's Day!
  I realize that this issue comes a of couple days later than usual, but we wanted to be able to share the story of the Father's Day BBQ provided by volunteers from Community and Free Grace Baptist Churches. So, better late than never!

If you would like to be a valued volunteer, too, please consider signing up to serve in our Playroom, Pre-Teen and Teen Rooms at the SAMM Shelter at Haven for Hope. These kids really need YOU to be able to have a place to play and have fun just being a kid. See the links at the right!

And lastly, enjoy reading Mark's story. If you have ever volunteered in our Donations Warehouse, you will know who Mark is. He is a tremendous witness to the new beginnings your support has given to the men, women and children we serve!

Mark - Dad Would be Proud  
Mark will be the first to tell you he used to think that he was the reason he is still alive, but now Mark says, "I know that God has had His hand over me; He's not done with me, yet!"

He is quick to also credit SAMMinistries and their donors and volunteers for giving him a purpose in life. "If it weren't for the donors, I wouldn't be working for SAMMinistries and I wouldn't have a purpose in life."
