I don't always feel close to God. I'm definitely not a model Christian but that's okay because I am dependant on the Lord's grace. When I am serving, locally and globally, I feel the closest to Jesus than any other time. Service doesn't have to be manual labor for someone else, it can simply be holding a door open or flashing a smile to someone or sharing a relevant conversation. Jamie Schaffitzel Member of Asbury for 12 years and the LO Board for three years The Legacy community was founded based on the principle of serving. We believe in serving alongside our kids and try to volunteer as a family whenever possible. We love working with Special Olympics and at Asbury's Adopt A Christmas Child held every holiday season. My life scripture: "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."
On staff as Local Outreach Director since April 2010 I am a product of local outreach. Loving Christian people reached out when I was a college student and shared the lifetransforming message of the Gospel with me. The least I can do is to return the favor; to share God’s love with others. I believe only good can come out of “getting out of your comfort zone” for Christ. Life scriptures, John 15:16,17: “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. This is my command: Love each other.”
