Requirement 1 |
|
Be familiar with the community services in your area and give assistance for at least four hours. |
If you are not familiar with the community services provided in your area, talk to your church's Adventist Community Services (ACS) director. If your church does not have an active ACS director, try entering the name of your city and "human services" into an Internet search engine.
Once you are familiar with the services available, select a few that look interesting to you (or to your Pathfinders) and start making phone calls offering assistance. Follow through!
