We spent the day at Camp Royal, which is a ministry devoted to reaching kids with the gospel through action sports. Part of our group worked hard scraping and painting inside the house that will lodge the professional athletes that come work in the summers.

We’ve got a crew back at Camp Royal today clearing out an entire yard full of briars. This is no easy task- briars are sharp and prickly, but this group has gone above and beyond, cutting it out and loading it into a trailer. Gabe and Randy, Camp Royal staff, have expressed how impressed and grateful they are. If their staff were to do this alone (5 guys who are inundated with so many other tasks each day), they said it would take them multiple weeks to do at least. This is a huge blessing for them. We’ve come in and cleared a huge portion of the yard in just 3 hours! We’re excited to finish cleaning that up outside the White House this afternoon!

Our hardworking crew at the White House today! It’s amazing all we got done in less than 5 hours! We loaded 2 of these trailers full and it was so fun to see the progress made. The yard is completely transformed!

We spent several hours print together gloves and hats for area schools to distribute to children who need them. We had fun singing while we worked.

Friday night we came back to our lodging for the evening, and our new friends (uncle) Brian and (Aunt) Debi from South Carolina read from the Word about Jesus washing the disciples feet and challenged us to lead lives as a servant, doing anything and everything, no matter the task. It was a blessing to hear from them!

Nick, Sammy, Joe and Alex we’re tasked with assembling the benches and getting them hung so they could be used for a backyard meeting space! They also strung lights and helped make this area one that can be enjoyed by the community. Tonight we will get to worship around it!

Our trip ended with a campfire worship and devotion time at Center of Hope. It was powerful, and the Lord moved in many of us. After hugs and tears, we closed out our ministry time in West Virginia.
