About 10 years ago we started a group at church that builds wheelchair ramps around our part of the county. Some are built for church members but the large majority of the people are referred to us by county agencies. The group now runs like a well-oiled machine. Someone goes out a few days before to take measurements and draw up the design. The night before build day another crew pre-builds most of it at a member's shop. On build day another crew can get it installed in just a couple of hours. It is a very diverse group of men and women. It is also a great opportunity for kids to serve and learn to use basic tools

Volunteer at church regularly - just another way to stay plugged in at the church and something my wife and I can do together.
Emmanuel Labor - serving homeless in Collin County. Started this fall/winter. A guy at my church runs it, I heard about it and felt God wanted me to get involved.
Football coach for the past 6 seasons for my son's team, if that counts - My dad coached my baseball teams before playing select. I wanted to create those memories with my son and be a positive role model for the kids on my team.
My wife and I are foster parents also - God called us to fostering 3 years ago. Strictly obedience to God, not something I wanted to do by any stretch. In 3 years we've had 11 placements, may get to adopt our current placement later this year; depending on the outcome of a trial in April we'll be adopting a 9 and 4 year old privately too.
