NOVO MINISTRIES INC
Invite reviews
Whether a donor or volunteer, helping with Novo Ministries is an unforgettable and awesome experience. I have benefited from being able to play both roles. First, as a volunteer, I was able to take time after work to assist at Bible clubs: teaching Bible lessons and songs, having fun with the kids at games, praying with them, visiting them with their families, and more. I am amazed at how Novo Ministries takes children who are living in bad conditions and leads them to live better. I also got to help out at a summer camp as a camp counselor. I know first-hand how Novo Ministries brightens children's lives. But, even beyond that, what I learned from Novo Ministries years ago has not left me yet. I still do children's ministry work, whether for non-profits or on my own free time. I learned so much from Novo Ministries' staff, who are enraptured with what they do. Working with Novo Ministries has changed my life and that is why I plan to continue to donate to this organization.

The Novo Ministries staff is remarkable. I worked with many ministries and I have rarely experienced a staff with so much heart, pluck, and professionalism. Not only do they want to change lives, but they know how, and--more importantly--they do.

I've worked with a number of children's ministries and outreaches in the last 15 years. When this ministry was introduced, I was somewhat hesitant to get involved. I didn't know much about the ministry and I have very high expectations of children's programs. They invited me to observe and after seeing only one program, I knew I wanted to be involved. I volunteered for a school year, working at 4 different clubs during that time. They made me feel very useful, though they had a great team in place already. I was able to work behind the scenes, teach a small group, build relationships with the children, and teach in the large group presentation. I loved Novo's vision for the community and their determination to present excellent, high quality work. In fact, I loved it so much that when they offered me a position, I made a career change and came to work with them full time.
