Activated faith: Give Love 2020 with Ben Lasley

Subscribe: RSS

We begin our missionary conversations for Advent 2020 by meeting Ben Lasley, a Global Missions Fellow with the General Board of Global Ministries serving Arch Street United Methodist Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Growing up in North Carolina, Ben was active in his United Methodist church where he developed his relationship with Jesus Christ. In Philadelphia, he serves as a community organizer, coordinating a meal service for those experiencing homelessness and overseeing a community garden.

Ben’s enthusiasm for his work is contagious. He says it helped “activate my faith.” It isn’t always easy. There are many challenges, but when we are willing, God works in and through us.
