The man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder…Have a purpose in life, and having it, throw such strength of mind and muscle into your works as God has given you.
-THOMAS CARLYLE
The name "Servant Investments" was chosen because of a belief
that our purpose is to serve- we are dedicated to providing
high touch, personal service, to our investors and to the clients
we represent. Additionally, it also stands for the type of servant
leadership we want to demonstrate in everything we do. "Servant"
not only reflects the perspective we strive to have with our
clients, but also our desire to demonstrate service by giving
back to the community in which we live and work. To us, this
means going beyond giving of our resources, but also giving
of our time, serving organizations and causes that we believe
in, laboring side by side, together as a corporate team. We
share these photos and stories with you because of how incredibly
meaningful these experiences were in each of our lives personally,
and also to us as the Servant Investments' team.
One of our community service partners for the year is the Orlando
Rescue Mission, located just a few blocks from our offices in
downtown Orlando. The Mission's doors are open 24 hours a day,
365 days a year, to provide services to the homeless in our
community. The organization's primary purpose is to restore
residents' lives emotionally and spiritually through counseling,
education, work discipline, and job training, in order for them
to achieve productive, self-sufficient lifestyles. 
For several months we worked on a variety of projects with
the Orlando Rescue Mission. We collected "Hope Tote," bags
filled with basic health care and hygiene products and then
assisted in the distribution of those items.
Additionally, we made Easter baskets for the children who
would be residing in the shelter over the Easter holidays.
On Good Friday, members of the Servant Investments' staff
brought their own families along with them to form an even
larger "Team Servant." Together we spent the day helping serve
a special Easter lunch. Another project close to the hearts
of the Servant team is Mission Emanuel, which is an ongoing
Dominican Republic outreach ministry of The Gathering. This
project brings together individuals from all over the world
in order to improve the lives of the Dominican people by providing
health care, education, better living conditions, etc. Servant
is helping with a water purification facility being constructed
there and several team members travel there yearly for personal
involvement in Mission Emmanuel.
To date, co-founder Rick Steinberger and his family, as well as Marketing and Transactions Associate,
Matt Immerfall, have traveled to the Dominican Republic to work for this cause. They have been
actively involved with construction projects, children's ministries, and establishing relationships
with families through their repeated trips.
