John found a new sense of purpose as the driver of our bus for disabled members and by volunteering with our Avodah Ministry. At the age of 75, the Lord created a space for him where he could continue to serve, offer love to our members, assist with activities, and have meaningful conversations with our members.

We want to share a heartfelt testimonial about Oom John, a dedicated volunteer in our Avodah Ministry. For over 12 years, John and his wife, Pamie, were integral to our Children’s Ministry. Tragically, Pamie passed away during the COVID-19 pandemic. Following this, John also lost two grandchildren and two of his children to cancer. These devastating losses left him in a dark place, devoid of purpose and hope. However, John found a new sense of purpose as the driver of our bus for disabled members and by volunteering with our Avodah Ministry. At the age of 75, the Lord created a space for him where he could continue to serve, offer love to our members, assist with activities, and have meaningful conversations with our members.

His love and attention have made a significant impact, fulfilling the deep need for love and acceptance among our members. Through this, God provided John with a place of belonging, allowing him to give so much of himself to others. The Lord knows what each of us needs and when, and He specifically created a role for John where he could feel loved and rediscover a sense of purpose in his life.
