The beautiful thing about this adventure called faith is that we can count on God never to lead us astray. He knows exactly where He is taking us and what He is doing. Our job is to obey, and to live in close fellowship with Him as we walk through life. In the process of this simple arrangement, God engages us in His eternal plan. Come this Sunday as we discover more about living this life.

We’ll be working closely with local businesses to provide you with job openings as soon as they become available. In fact, many of the jobs you’ll see listed here are provided by your fellow Gathering members. Our goal is to help every member of The Gathering (and their friends and relatives) find the employment that best uses their God-given talents and gifts. Romans 12:6 – 8 (NIV) says, “We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.” God’s grace has provided each of us with unique gifts and talents. Our Best Foot Forward volunteers are committed to help you discover your gifts and talents and then help you find employment that allows you to best use them. We’ll try to keep this web page as up-to-date as possible, but our information is limited to what the individual employers provide us. It’s possible that a job listed here may have already been filled. To help prevent that from happening, we’ll purge each job 30 days after the listing date unless we’re told otherwise. We’ll leave your Job Seekers information on the site for 60 days unless you notify us to keep it online for an additional 60 days. We will not use your name or other personal information on the Job Seekers listing to protect your privacy. If you have any questions, please contact us at mailto:%20bestfootforward@thegatheringhome.org. Good luck, and God Bless!

Originally from Tucson, Arizona, the mountains and warm sunshine are two of her Colorado favorites. She has passionately worked with children and youth, as a helper, teacher, leader, and director for 27 years. Children’s simple faith and view of God inspires her. Kathleen married her college sweetheart and best friend, James, 21 years ago. They have 3 incredible children and one cool dog. The Gathering has been home, a place for service, fellowship, and spiritual growth for the past two years. Kathleen is thrilled to partner with the Children’s staff in directing our Children’s Ministry. God is using one of her favorite verses to guide her: Proverbs 3:5-7 ...She is trying to live these verses out by trusting in the Lord 100%, not relying on the way she see’s things, but seeking God in everything, knowing He’ll show the way. She looks forward to meeting you and your children. Click here to email Kathleen.

She became involved in children's ministry by volunteering to teach story time. She soon realized God had given her a love for teaching children stories of the Bible. Her desire is to see children of all ages have an intimate relationship with the Jesus Christ and develop a love and fascination for the Word of God. Click here to email Stacy.

If you haven’t been involved in a LifeGroup before, why not consider this being the semester to try one out? There is nothing like joining with one another to enjoy fellowship and grow closer to Christ with a small group of believers. Our website makes it easy to choose a group by zip code, meeting day, and type of group. Our retreat this year was in January at Trail West in Buena Vista. Many of you were blessed by being at this beautiful location . Our speaker was author and speaker, Lorraine Pintus and our theme was “A Walk on the Wild Side: Complete Surrender”. Be blessed and encouraged and may we all be a blessing and an encouragement!

Out of their meager personal budget and in obedience to God’s leading, they sacrificed one meal a week to feed as many of the orphans from the slum that they could manage. From this simple step of faith in 2002, the Seeds Childrens Home was born and the Bread of Life Centre dream began to take shape. God has blessed the ministry with current support that provides the following today: Nourishing with Food & Medical Care • 350 orphan children are fed six times a week at a feeding station • Provide basic medical care though a medical clinic on-site at Bread of Life Centre Nourishing with Education • 250 orphan children are enrolled in a Christian based school within the Bread of Life Centre • Clothing, books and school supplies are provided to each child • An additional 100 older orphan children who come to eat and obtain school supplies Nourishing with a Hope in the Future • By providing formal education, the goal is to break the cycle of poverty with a strong education to equip the children with skills that can help them earn a living • Practical vocational skills through exposure to some of the micro-industries Richard and Hellen are establishing to help become a more self-sufficient, self-funded ministry Nourishing with Complete Care through a Children’s Home Orphanage • Currently housing 30 children (20 have sponsorship, an additional 10 await sponsorship) • Current facility can house up to 60 children if sponsorships existed ($120/mo/child but starting point at $45 a month/child) Wed, 6 Jan 2010 20:04:24 MST http://www.thegatheringhome.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=196 http://www.thegatheringhome.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=196&article_id=450 Sunday Mornings in the TCA Cafeteria, join us for teaching, worship and fellowship.
