“
I have been working in the trades
ever since getting out of high
school. I admire all that Servants
Heart is doing. They are doing a
wonderful job in teaching the next
generation. The ‘kids’ are a lot of
fun and very eager to learn. As a
volunteer it’s a great time of
fellowship and a chance to spread
God’s mission in our own backyard.
