Everywhere you go in Vancouver and Richmond, you see volunteers. Some of the volunteers have traveled thousands of miles to be volunteers at the Olympic Games. Many of these volunteers are Christians who are serving at local churches running front yard carnivals and youth sporting events and sharing the Gospel in the streets. They are also serving free hot chocolate and coffee by the Sky train entrances/exits.

It is no different at Trinity or Bethlehem or Prince of Peace. The unsung heroes of the Olympic Games prepare fresh desserts and coffee throughout the day. They spend hours in the parking lot (rain or shine!) welcoming guests who are using the parking lot and encouraging them to use Trinity’s facilities and services. Indoor hosts extend a warm welcome to all who enter and encourage visitors to take the free Bibles, tracts, and pins. Janitors keep the facilities (including bathrooms!) clean. LCC pastors lead daily noontime prayer services.

And why are these Christian volunteers serving in this way? Because they love their Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and know that God desires nothing more than that everyone in this world come to believe in Jesus as their Saviour.
