Faced with an unemployment rate that’s one of the highest in Colorado, Fellowship Christian Reformed Church in Greeley started Bridges of Hope, a ministry that connects church, government, and community agencies with those who need services.

One evening every month, the church hosts a meal where representatives from up to 20 different agencies are present to offer legal advice, career or budget counseling, and various other forms of professional help.

I was recently talking with a group of successful consultants working with all types of nonprofit organizations. We all agreed that a major perk of consulting is the great variety in our jobs. I will add that an even better perk is meeting forward-thinking people who are doing valuable work in their communities. Another way our JVA team thinks about it is like this: We work with people who believe they can change the world.

FALL 2008

Thanks to you wonderful people – many people have been served locally. Since Faith Fund’s beginning three years ago, Faith Fund has served over 800 families, and assisted with over 160 Birth Certificates/Identification cards. Your funds have directly assisted these families to get “over the hump,” and thanks to God and wonderful people, we have 69 volunteers serving in a variety of roles. Also, our Bridges of Hope nights have connected hundreds of families to needed resources.
