A thank you from another HFN partner

A quick note from Mikkee:
You may be wondering why we are posting thank you's from our Hope For Nashville partners, but we really want to show you from all perspectives WHAT A DIFFERENCE we can make as the Church. So be encouraged and continue to give and use the gifts God has given you to creatively share the Gospel to a hurting world!



As someone who makes a living by managing volunteers, I have come to truly respect how local churches encourage service in the Nashville community. As a Hope for Nashville partner of West End Community Church, I have been impressed by the staff and other church leaders who routinely reach out to nonprofits like Siloam Family Health Center, asking “how can we help you?, in a variety of different ways. Any time I have answered that question and conveyed a need, the congregation’s response has been immediate and fulfilling! Praise God! It is churches like West End who truly practice what they preach, by getting folks out of the pews and into the community serving those most in need. Siloam is blessed by dozens of WECC volunteers – who serve as nurses, doctors, knitters, interpreters, breast care educators, scrapbookers, and those who pray for our ministry. For all of your support, thank you West End! - Kate Tanis, Director of Volunteer Services – Siloam Family Health Center
