LifeWay Research focuses on topics such as church leadership, theology, church practices, and ethnic issues. However, they do not limit themselves to the betterment of the Church. There is also a strong emphasis on the unchurched in their projects. They have and continue to focus on outreach, evangelism, and missions. With that being said, it is the opinion of this writer that because of the phenomenal work of LifeWay and their dependence on God, the future of the Southern Baptist Church is in good hands.
Volunteering for a poverty program, policy group, or community service organization is an experience that will educate oneself and endure an involvement with those who may be in need of assistance for a period of time. When deciding where I wanted to do my volunteer experience for the class I wanted to make sure that I found experience that I would learn from. There were a variety of places that I could choose from that were in the area. For my experience I chose to volunteer at a salvation army in my hometown Springfield, Oh. This is an organizational group that provides services to those who are poor in a variety of ways. The Salvation Army is an organization that has several different branches in various locations. This branch helps in a variety of ways by having summer camps for children, social service programs that offer assistance with topics such as bills, food, clothing, furniture and a variety of other resources. They also provide several different opportunities around Christmas to help with the different assistant groups that they have available.
In business, organizational culture is the shared assumption, values and beliefs with dictates the behavior of those within the organization. Three levels of culture interact with one another and influence behaviors in organizations: observable artifacts, espoused values, and enacted values (Baack, 2012). Every organization develops and maintains its own unique culture which serves as base for guidelines and boundaries for influencing member behavior. In my current employment with The Salvation Army, the organizational culture -- beyond the religious side -- continues to embody what founder William Booth wanted to accomplish --meet human needs.

...lps the organisation is it gives them free work as they don't have to pay for the volunteer. Also the organisation can employ more people as they have someone working and doing jobs for free and with the money they save from the volunteer they could use that on either raising wages or hiring another worker. It also promotes the organisation so other volunteers will come and the organisation will gain more workers and save a lot more money as they will have people working for free so the work will get done faster.

The Salvation Army is well known around the world as a charity to help people living in poverty. Less known about The Salvation Army is that its original purpose was to become a form of religion. William Booth, the founder of The Salvation Army did not want the purpose of The Salvation Army to stray too far from the idea that all people are free to worship Christ. It was because Booth believed that the most efficient way to reach people living in poverty was to offer them food, clothing, and shelter while preaching to them. Booth was a very religious person from a very young age, more so after his family had lost their money and William had to work to get money for his family. Booth's understanding of life in poverty and his love for God would reflect in his life after he became a preacher. Soon after Booth had gotten his first full time preaching job, he met the love of his life and his partner in creating a faith, Catherine Mumford, who was also a very religious individual. He would also meet George S. Railton, who believed that God was more important than any worldly possessions. Railton would later become Booth's first lieutenant and a huge factor in the way the Salvation Army was run during the first years. --- William Booth believed that every person deserved to know Jesus regardless of their social class and that he should save everyone from Atheism.

This came for America at the end of World War II, and as a result evangelical Christianity returned to prominence. At this time, a young preacher from North Carolina named Billy Graham started his ascent to notoriety in the renewed evangelical movement. Billy Graham, serving as an evangelist, led massive crusades to bring lost souls to the church. More than an introducing people to an ideology or a denomination, Graham was most interested in evangelizing and leading people to Jesus Christ, God’s sacrificial lamb for mankind. Through his work in this area, he was able to assist in uniting the two largest evangelical organizations, the National Association of Evangelicals, and the American Council of Christian Churches. The Continuation Committee for World Evangelism was created. Their goal was, “to encourage and assist where necessary in the formation of regional and national committees to advance world evangelism in every area (Shelley
Contrary to my knowledge, The Red Cross, primarily founded as The American Red Cross (AMR), was established on May 1881, by a nurse named Clara Barton (1821-1912) of Massachusetts after returning from the Europe. Through the years, the American Red Cross became pioneers in lending its hand in difficult times like wars, emergency and epidemics. It was initially started with the approval and recruitment of very few people. At first, the services were limited in the United States only, but with the insurgence two world wars, it went global. Today, the American Red Cross is just a slic...
Volunteering enables a person to develop new skills that he or she would otherwise not have been able to develop. Unlike most other organizations, a charitable organization is happy to give positions to passionate, though inexperienced, individuals who desire to help others and benefit the community. Therefore, an individual with little experience in a field of work can gain meaningful skills that he or she can use in the future. For example, while I volunteered at the hospital this summer, I learned about the daily work lives and professional duties of doctors and nurses. Had I not volunteered, I would not have learned about these things. I was always interested in the medical field, but volunteering at the hospital let me explore my interests and en...
One way that volunteering benefits the community is by showing God's love. Some organizations such as Samaritans Purse show God's love through meeting the needs of people that have been through war, poverty, natural disasters, disease, and famine. As they help the needy, they also share God's word with the victims, and by helping, they are showing how God is working in us to help them “What We Do”. Another way that spreads God's love is disaster relief that some churches put together and allows people to share why they are helping. The Churches of Christ Relief Effort is an organization that will immediately respond to any major disaster in the USA “International Crisis Response”. They will then gather truckloads of food, personal hygiene, infant care, water, cleaning supplies, and other basic needs. While they provide these supplies they also share God's word with those affected by the disaster. When people see what we are doing, they will see how God is working in us and will hopefully want to know more about God and how he works through us. Along with showing God's love, volunteering also helps those in need, builds community and meet new people, getting jobs done faster and more efficient, and saves a ton of
