At fit4service, we know that complete living means total giving. Some think an act of service needs to be magnanimous and vast in order to have an actual impact. f4s doesn't tell us that at all. How you use the gifts you've been given isn't the most important thing....just that you use them. Anyone can be a ripple of hope!

Kennedy
