MY LIFE: TYLER RALPH (INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEER, CANADA)

“God’s changed my life completely. My personal experience was trying to climb the ladder at work and make more money and get that next title and buy a bigger house and bigger things. I was on my way to doing those things. I felt like I lived a very selfish existence. It was all about me. I wasn't helping anyone. I wasn't prepared to part with $5 to help someone else because it meant less in my pocket. I struggled with that and I didn't know it at the time, but what I realised is that Hands at Work gave me that opportunity to be open towards God and I realise as I look back, how empty I felt in my heart, and now I feel filled and whole. I've been given purpose and a direction in focusing on the most vulnerable and dedicating my life to that. I’ve abandoned my job, our home and our cars. I left that all behind to be doing this and I feel way more fulfilled here than I ever had in my life. I'm finding my purpose that God intended for me. I feel so fulfilled now in having that relationship with Him.”
