Helping Hands

11/04/2025

My name is Greg, I stepped in as the Men's Coordinator in August 2023, though I served on the Helping Hands' Board a few years ago and have always had a heart for their mission and this position certainly works with helping men down their path of life. I feel that my position at Helping Hands includes several areas of assisting men in navigating through their lives. Helping to teach, train, motivate and develop character to result in positive behaviors for them and their families. We added couples coaching to also enhance the relationships with partners and families. At the beginning of 2025, I stepped part-time into the role of Advancement Director.

I am blessed to have 3 girls and 3 sons in laws that are all Christians and are raising our 9 grandchildren that way. My kids truly love one another, and everyone enjoys time together playing any type of games or just hanging out. My family makes me think of the saying, Live, Laugh & Love. I have a better life and achieved more than I ever dreamed possible well into my 20’s and 30’s. I owe everything to God and my family. I am thankful for my wife, she is my encourager, cheerleader, and best friend.

My favorite verse is Proverbs 27:17, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”

Our mission to support families extends into every corner of our communities: a few weeks ago, our Registered Nurse collaborated with the Amish Abuse Task Force for a Safety Night! We had the opportunity to share safe sleep education and distributed pack ’n plays and safe sleep kits to local Amish families! What a great team!!

On Saturday, our MomTime Community Group enjoyed a fun day in Shipshewana - complete with brunch, a play, and plenty of laughter! We love how these outings create space to build deeper friendships, community, and lasting memories 💗

"My name is Brittany, I'm a Registered Nurse here on staff, I came on in November of 2022. I do pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, and offer a few classes to new parents. If I can help a new mom see her baby for the first time, gain some better understanding of what she's going through, and connect her to resources, then I know I'm making a difference in her life and her child's life. I offer lots of education so I can give expectant parents some knowledge and peace of mind as they're preparing for this huge life change!

I've been married to Landon for 19 years and we have three amazing kids. I have been a nurse since 2008 and have worked in healthcare since I was 16 years old, starting out as a CNA. My most previous job experience was in pediatric intensive care, then I stayed at home raising my kids for about 6 years before starting at Helping Hands. I spend my free time with my family, chauffeuring kids to practices and games, and volunteering for a couple of other non-profit organizations.

My favorite verse is 1 Peter 4:10, “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”"

My name is Cecelia, I am the Accountant at Helping Hands, I came on staff in January of 2023. I am so thankful for the people I work with. Everyone has their own gift and I love watching everyone use their gifts God gave them to help others.

I have been married for 23 years to a great man! We have been blessed with two kids; both are teenagers now! We are a family that likes spending time together. We all love the water, being by or in it.

A verse I look at daily is 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”
