As I was waiting for my frostbitten fingers to thaw out this week, I was browsing through The Times and came across what I thought was a brilliant idea. The brilliant idea…NeighborLink.
NeighborLink is a web site that invites residents and organizations to seek free assistance from their neighbors and invites residents to join volunteer project teams to provide free assistance. The site puts those in need in touch with those who can give it. Pretty cool!
Why? According to the site, the founders of NeighborLink desire to respond to the love of God they have received. They believe that God is pleased when people, out of gratitude for what He’s done, extend kindness to others, especially to those in need.
…whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me. -Matthew 25:40
Looking for a project or place to serve? NeighborLink has one local web site to assist those in Porter County, IN. Sounds like a great place for individuals, families, and community groups in northwest Indiana to connect, serve, and share the hope of Jesus Christ.
Sounds like a great idea? Do other counties in IN have this too?

Unfortunately, the only other IN NeighborLink location that I know of is in Ft. Wayne. I just thought that if people were looking to do a short term project, this might be a good place to start. Not too far away.
