What attracts you to Beautiful Day?The idea of being the church. I love the fact that WestGate doesn’t just talk about serving others and showing Christ’s love through service, they follow it up by placing something on the schedule that says, "This is not just something we talk about, this is something we live.”
Which project are you a part of?
We will be cleaning up a homeless encampment, blessing the homeless with some necessities as well as giving them something extra special as we celebrate their birthdays. It’s a great opportunity to both provide for needs and express our love by giving them a party they probably don’t often experience.
What about Camp Coyote, in particular, draws you in?
My wife and I started serving the homeless breakfast on Christmas Day two years ago and have found it such a joy to serve those in need. When this opportunity came along to continue to serve the homeless, I joined.
Anything special you're looking for in terms of volunteers?
We are looking for high school age and above to help clean up the encampment, distribute food and serve in the celebration for the homeless, including people willing to barbecue.
Look into your crystal ball and talk about your ideal outcomes
Not only to bless the people of this encampment now, but to work with the city and those who serve this population on a regular basis and connect people to serving the homeless continually.
