Office Volunteer

Office Volunteer

“Volunteering at PPA for over 13 years in the office has been a huge blessing in my life.  My role has included a lot of different tasks as the needs have changed over the years.  I’ve planned activities and events, sent emails and written notes of encouragement, helped prepare lunches for 60, scrubbed floors, and hugged kids that needed it.  God can use anyone, and He will do the equipping.  I am so glad I said “yes” to Him.”

“It’s been fulfilling to be able to use my office and organizational skills as a support to a Christian ministry, specifically to help organize and input information within a new database which will expand PPA’s ability to help students and their families.  It’s also been fun to see a student’s excitement as he or she completes classes and progress with their studies” -Ruth
