π Volunteer of the Week Spotlight is Sean Krueger! π
How long have you served in the Grace Care Center?
Since November of 2024!
What area do you serve in and why?
I serve in the co-op as a life coach every Tuesday night. I knew Jed as he was the co-leader of our Rooted small group at Grace Fishers way back in the day. I met with him to see what opportunities there would be to serve with him at the Care Center. When he told me about the co-op and that he was looking for coaches, it seemed like a perfect fit for me (as I've spent a lot of time coaching our staff and interns in my ministry with Cru). I love coming alongside people to listen to them talk about their lives and, when appropriate, give input/perspective to help them grow. I especially enjoy talking with others about the spiritual area of life and I get to do that often at the co-op!
What keeps you coming back?
Mostly I just really care about people and listening to their struggles and encouraging them! In the past year and a half, my co-coach, Heather, and I have seen God work in people's lives in some really cool ways. It's such a privilege getting to listen to and bring hope to people, and we get to pray with them often. We even saw one guy pray with us to invite Jesus to come into his life. That was awesome!
How has serving in the Grace Care Center changed you?
Well, it has made me a better listener for sure! And even though I'm technically coaching the people who come to the co-op, I have learned so much from each one of them. These friends are so humble and are daily looking to and trusting God to meet their needs. From their examples, I have learned to depend on God more in my own life and to be more grateful and thankful for all the ways that He takes care of me and my family!
Tell us one fun fact about yourself.
A new favorite hobby for me is playing pinball. My friend got me into it about a year ago, and we have done a few road trips to visit places that have hundreds of pinball tables. You pay about $20 to play as much pinball as you want for about 12 hours. It's a blast!
