Speaking for Love INC

Ryan has had many big tasks before him in his new role as Executive Director at Love INC. One of those tasks has been getting out into the community to meet people and explain more about what we actually DO at Love INC and how people can get involved!

Sometimes those chances to speak come through clubs or small groups. Early on, he spoke at the Rotary Club and the Optimist Club. A few weeks ago, he spoke at a worship and fellowship group on a Saturday night. But he's also had the chance to speak at a few churches, and this is really important, because the whole mission of Love INC is to mobilize churches to transform lives. Sometimes when he speaks at a church, he gets just a couple of minutes in the middle of the service to do a mission spotlight moment. Other times he has the entire sermon to share. But we appreciate every opportunity to share in a church and meet the people there! 

The last two Sundays, he spoke at his 4th and 5th churches, and this coming Sunday, he will speak at his 6th church. I think that is a pretty great record of opportunity for being new in the area! 

I had some pictures from the last couple of weeks, and I thought I'd share them with you today!

Two weeks ago, he shared the sermon at a church in the little burg of Monroe, not too far from where we live. They were having a special 5th Sunday gathering, complete with a huge breakfast! (Pancakes, sausage, bacon, biscuits and gravy - the whole bit!) They met for the day in their fellowship area, and we were able to set up a table with materials and information. 

Then this past Sunday, he did a brief spotlight in the church who owns the building where the Love INC offices are located! They had a full service, honoring veterans, promoting missions, and sharing a convicting sermon!

I am always so proud of him when he gets to speak! He does a great job, and I want to jump up and down in the back of the room and yell, 'THAT'S MY HUSBAND!!!!!"

This coming Sunday will mark the end of speaking for 2022, as we head into the holiday season, but it has been a great year of sharing, and we are both really thankful for the churches who have made a space for us to come and share our hearts and about the work being done.
