The heartbeat behind ROOV is getting people connected to things they are passionate about. Recently a ROOVer shared a story with us that she’d like to share with you.

I was looking for the opportunity to serve the homeless, so I joined the “Loving the Least” ROOV. I have always had a desire to reach the underprivileged. However, since I had just moved to Dallas not that long ago, I didn’t know how to get connected with an organization. As I was browsing ROOV, I saw that Ajay had posted a gathering on serving the homeless. My fingers couldn’t click the mouse fast enough for the gathering information! I was so excited! I had never met Ajay before, so my first time meeting him was at the gathering. Since then he’s become a very dear friend of mine. While we were serving, I ended up meeting other people who had heard about the gathering through ROOV. One of the guys, Francisco, goes to my church, and I had no idea!! We even go to the same service, and I had never seen him before.

Then it got crazier… Another one of my passions is building homes for orphans. At the gathering Ajay and I talked and he ended up getting me connected with Wick, Streams of Mercy Ministries founder. They build orphanages throughout the world. A week later or so, we met with Wick and he shared his vision and stories of how the orphanages were impacting the children’s lives. Through that meeting, fellow ROOVers were a part of helping sponsor two orphanages in India.

It took one gathering to help put my passions into action.
