In The Lord's Service is a united team of Christian volunteers ready and
willing to serve others. Our goal is to encourage Christians to reach
out to people in love and help meet their physical, emotional and spiritual
needs in the name of Jesus Christ. ITLS is here to help bring people together
and enable Christians to make a difference in other's lives.
ITLS also reaches out to help other Christians in need of help. Both Christians
being served and Christian volunteers are edified through this service.
We are asked by Jesus to love and take care of each other, to encourage
and support one another as one body in Christ.
Who ITLS Serves: ITLS is open to anyone in the areas where
we serve who is in need of help. We provide one on one service to
people with needs. We can also send a group of volunteers to help with
bigger jobs. We do not provide any financial support, only services a
volunteer can perform.

Who We
Are:
ITLS is a corporation of the state of Colorado with tax-exempt (501c3)
status from the IRS. Our board of directors includes Carlene Toy (president),
Larry Toy (Vice President) Randy McKinley (Secretary) and Nancy Henderlong
(Treasurer).
How It
Works: We have a software database that holds information from Christian
volunteers on their talents, experiences and availability to perform service
work.
Our coordinators have the volunteer database on a laptop computer. They
also have a cell phone to accept calls for help.
When a call comes in, like a request from a single mother who is sick
and needs help with meals and care for her children, the coordinator will
go to the software and bring up all volunteers who listed child care or
meal preparation as their chosen services. The coordinator will also look
at the volunteer's availability and then make some phone calls until they
can find an appropriate match.
