While working as a student volunteer at the PTC center in Grand Prairie, I was able to experience the love and generosity of fellow Christian volunteers. I saw that every day, many people who are in need of food come to the PTC center to receive not only food, but also love, support, and direction in their walk with Christ. It was touching to be able to assist in providing essentials for these people who are less fortunate. I enjoyed meeting and praying for them; then to see the smile on their face when they received encouragement was very exciting. The PTC Center is a wonderful charity organization that is a great blessing in God’s Kingdom.

When I say that I volunteer at a food bank, one might visualize me assessing a family’s need for food, meeting that need, and then, perhaps, suggest other organizations that might also help them. PTC it is much more than that.
PTC is praying for someone that has never before received a personal prayer. It is giving someone a smile that has not received one in a long time. It is giving a person with AIDS, starved for affection, a hug. PTC is helping an abused spouse find a safe place to stay. It is listening to a spouse whose mate has been deported, or is separated because of marital problems. It is giving spiritual support to someone that has lost a loved one. PTC is saying encouraging words, being kind, and showing love. It is leading someone into a personal relationship with the Lord. It is rejoicing over answered prayer.
Over the years PTC has been able to help children with supplies as they go back to school, bless families during Thanksgiving, and provide gifts for children at Christmas time. We have been able to aid families during floods and hurricanes. Again, I say we are more than just a food bank.
