Has your life been changed by the message of Conversations With God<\/i>?\u00a0 Do you wish there was some way you could share how the message worked, and helped you in your life, with others?<\/p>\n

There is a way.<\/p>\n

Neale Donald Walsch has written a remarkable book that takes the messages of CWG and overlays it on everyday situations and circumstances in life. The book — titled When Everything Changes, Change Everything —<\/i> provides a complete technology for addressing life challenges with a remarkable combination of modern day psychology and contemporary spirituality.<\/p>\n

This deeply insightful text is supported by a website staffed exclusively by volunteers. The website is called The Changing Change Network, because it has created a network of people around the world who are dedicated to being there for others in a spiritually supportive way. The site can be found at www.changingchange.net <\/a><\/p>\n

The purpose of this helping outreach is to \u201cchange the way change changes you\u201d when a person is experiencing a negative response to a major, unexpected, unwanted change in their life. The website fulfills a promise that Neale made in his book: You never have to go through traumatic change in your life alone. <\/i><\/p>\n

He promised to create a site that would be staffed with volunteers who would answer, within 24 hours, any person posting a call for help regarding a sudden change in their life.\u00a0 (Go to www.changingchange.net<\/a><\/i> to see what I\u2019m talking about.)<\/p>\n

The Spiritual Helper volunteers assist people in finding practical spiritual tools to use in times of extreme change. These volunteers know the material in Conversations with God<\/i> and When Everything Changes, Change Everything<\/i> intimately, and commit two days a month to being the first responder when a person posts a question about how to go through their dramatic change. The Helper also commits to being the \u201cback up\u201d for another Helper for two other days per month.<\/p>\n

This is a wonderful opportunity to enter into a true spiritual ministry. And you don\u2019t have to worry about \u201cnot knowing how to do this.\u201d Once a month Neale holds a training call to answer questions you may have about CWG in general, about how its messages apply to the problems and challenges which people discuss on the site, and about ways that you might best respond and interact on the site. In addition, once a year Neale offers the Spiritual Helpers free on-site participation as a back-of-the-room observer at one of his spiritual renewal retreats, and works with the Spiritual Helpers in private sessions during the retreat, exploring in highly personal discussions everything he knows about the CWG messages and how to apply themto people in the group who are seeking spiritual growth.<\/p>\n

So, I ask you:\u00a0 Do you feel called to help others, but just don\u2019t know how?\u00a0 Do you know the Conversations with God<\/i> material, realize its power, and wish to share it?\u00a0 Do you have a little extra time?<\/p>\n

Perhaps you were attracted to CWG for a reason. Perhaps you are being given the opportunity to be a Spiritual Helper.<\/p>\n

Interested? Go to www.changingchange.net<\/a> and see if you can imagine yourself there as one of our Spiritual Helpers. You can even begin to offer gentle spiritual counsel before becoming an \u201cofficial\u201d member of the Spiritual Helper team. (Members of the general public often do.) Then, if you feel the impulse to offer your help more often, and on a regular basis that can be counted on, write to: spiritualhelpers@changingchange.net and offer your commitment to check into the site two days a month to see if anybody new has posted, and to respond within 24 hours if someone has.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s as simple — and as wonderful — as that. The Changing Change Network is a global network of people \u201cbeing there\u201d for other people. If you have been feeling the impulse to look for your spiritual ministry in the world, you may have just found it.<\/p>\n

Let us know. And thanks for reading this.<\/p>\n
