She explained that this is where my angel wings need adjusting.<\/p>\n<p>My angel wings tend to require adjusting when I am not doing service, or doing a lot of service and not taking care of myself first.\u00a0 For me, HeartReach Guardian Angel Teams mean that I can step up to serve others with a small group of supportive ministers. I first heard the phrase \u2018guardian angels\u2019 at a HeartReach Monthly Forum Zoom meeting. A small group of HeartReach representatives and volunteers had come together to share their ministries in service to a minister who had a few different needs. By connecting as a small team, each person could bring their unique ministerial offerings. The minister in distress got varied help and the guardian angels supported each other.<\/p>\n<p>HeartReach is a branch of HeartFelt that focuses predominantly on supporting fellow ministers, while HeartFelt is about service in the community beyond MSIA. Since becoming a representative of HeartReach, I have been involved in a wide range of short-term support projects including:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u2022 Supporting a minister during their recovery after a fall.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u2022 Helping a minister in considerable distress fill in an application to HeartReach for short-term financial help.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u2022 Contributing to the team putting together a GoFundMe page for a fellow minister.<\/p>\n<p>My individual HeartReach ministry is quite personal and not \u2018prescribed\u2019, so I am free to respond to what I become aware of and let my heart guide me, such as:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Hosting a monthly Zoom meeting called \u201cConnecting in MSIA\u201d which is on the second Tuesday of the month at 6pm GMT, 10am PT, for one hour. We have a topic or guest and include sharing.\u00a0 Email me at <a href=\"mailto:caroline@khambatta.com\">caroline@khambatta.com<\/a> to be added to the invitation emailing list.<\/li>\n<li>Ad hoc events such as a coffee shop get together before the last Traveler visit.<\/li>\n<li>Communicating with ministers and initiates through email, WhatsApp, cards and calls, when appropriate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I am learning how different each person\u2019s idea of support is and learning to adapt accordingly. If you want to get involved, please contact your local representative or Lori Matson, at\u00a0 <a href=\"mailto:LoriMatson@msia.org\">LoriMatson@msia.org<\/a>. This is an opportunity to express your loving in your own unique way.
