AGAPE FLIGHTS...from a Volunteer...Thanks







What is a volunteer…We all know what a volunteer is- But have you ever been in the company of so many volunteers at once? I had the pleasure of meeting many of the Agape Volunteers Thursday, March 25, 2010 due to a special lunch for Agape Volunteers…

Presented by AGAPE FLIGHTS , catered by Angelo's on Venice Avenue, and sponsored by the wildly fantastic staff. The staff volunteered their time and talent using their organizational skills to transfigure the AGAPE HANGAR to the perfect place for the luncheon. The transformation was preformed by the staff with centerpieces, tablecloths, flowers, music and prayers- And a host of other details... The staff cleaned, directed parking, took photos, mailed invitations and their RSVP's...Met and greeted the volunteers with a special "ice-breaker" name tag game. Every "I" was dotted and "T" was crossed to make sure the volunteers felt thanked and felt part of the Agape Family. The staff worked hard to thank the volunteers and their guests for their gift of time during the Haiti Disaster 2010.



But I would like to say to the AGAPE STAFF, Members and Board of Directors!


Thank You!



Dick for your kind and humble leadership-
Carole and Amy for your attention to detail-
Lance for your expertise and patience and Lynn for your steadfast humor and grace-Karen and Jennifer for your emphatic professional and helpful manor-
Carol Ann for your ever present smile and helping hand-
Jeff for your perseverance and faithfulness-
Mark for your patience and fortitude-
Kevin for your grace under fire-
Greg for your decisive expertise-
And Luke...for your faith to move you and your family during a hectic time.
I am but one of the newcomers and I am positive I have missed some or many of those that have worked ever so hard in the mission of Agape Flights...
I hope to meet you soon.

What I have said about each of the above staff members...I could have said in two words...WELL DONE!
The thing that stands out the most to me (as an onlooker) is the Team Work ! Your love of Jesus Christ shines through each of the staff members that I have met at Agape! Praise the Lord...

I am so happy, I have had the honor to serve beside leaders that illustrate the love of Christ with such distinction. God Bless You and Your Families!

PS. I know there is heart ache and sorrow...but hope is alive and well and spirits are high at Agape Flights!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank YOU AGAPE FLIGHTS…for going out of your way to make sure the volunteers are comfortable!
Thank you, AGAPE…for all that you do for the missionary families whom you support. And because of the loving way you consider your mission, I know I can speak for many of the volunteers when I say, “We are fortunate to meet so many caring and committed Christians at Agape Flights!”
