This is the task...

Regular readers of this blog will know that at around 7:00 each morning I post online.

Today is no different.

Today, however, I am not writing or reflecting about #40acts - this is the act itself: to be an ambassador for causes that are close to my heart.

1: The. Salvation Army. Obviously! Our work is diverse and life changing. A visit to mine of our Corps' or Lifehouses is an eye opening experience to see the depth and breadth of programme with the motivation to be the love of God to those around. I had the very great pleasure to be an ambassador for the Salvation Army yesterday during a conversation with restaurant staff. They were enlightened and now one of them is going to offer assistance at a Foodbank. http://www.salvationarmy.org.uk/

2: The Bible Society. I love reading God's word and I love other to be able to do the same in a translation that is most accessible for them. Find them here: http://www.biblesociety.org.uk/ 

3: Habitat for Humanity. Most of us in the west live in homes that are at least wind and watertight. Habitat for Humanity provides the practical help to local communities to give them a roof over their heads by taking teams from the UK to build alongside local families. Find them here: http://habitatforhumanity.org.uk/volunteer-teams

Throughout today I will be posting about these three organisations - please consider helping them in one way or another, giving, volunteering, praying, sharing.
