How do Deacons Engage Church Members in Ministries of Mercy?

Do you have deacons spending their time visiting members and handling funds?  Or do you have each deacon leading or working with a ministry team of church members that is responding to the poor and hurting people in our community and world?  I'm interested in information from churches who have been able to transition each of their deacons to the role of leading and working with a team of members on a ministry focus such as elderly, women, refugees, children, youth, creation care, hungry, etc.  Let's talk about how you have engaged members more in mercy ministries.
