We’ve Arrived!

by Morgan Shepherd | June 5, 2021 7:43 PM

We all arrived safely this afternoon and started out our trip with some time to hangout and play some sports. We got to meet Pastor Nate and some people from Hope Church, who we get to partner with this week! Pastor Nate shared a bit about his church, which is a new church plant, and we are really excited to be worshiping with him tomorrow!

Is the Church Here or There? No, Everywhere!

by Morgan Shepherd | June 6, 2021 11:33 AM

We went to Hope Church this morning and heard a great sermon from Pastor Nate about our DNA as a Church and how Church isn’t a building, but a body of people.

Grab a Seat

Hope Church uses a wedding venue as their space for worship, so we got to help set up the room. Patience took the initiative and made sure each row of chairs was straight and orderly!

What’s Your Name Again?

by Morgan Shepherd | June 6, 2021 11:48 AM

We had a bit of time before service started, so we broke up into random groups in order to meet and talk with some students from the other team as well. We talked about our favorite Bible verse, past trips, and many other things. It was a great way to break the ice!

What’s Your Name Again?

“Yes I Will” - Play the Kahone

by Morgan Shepherd | June 6, 2021 12:30 PM

Dylan jumped right in this morning and helped set up the band and the audio, and then even played along on the kahone! God can use our talents for His glory anywhere!

Wanna Come to VBS?

by Morgan Shepherd | June 6, 2021 9:32 PM

In order to spread the word about VBS and Hope Church, we went to a couple local apartment complexes and handed out flyers. We knocked on doors and were able to have some conversations with people and ask if they would like prayer. It was a great experience to get outside our comfort zones and also pray for the area we are serving!

Crossroads Church

by Camden Patterson | June 7, 2021 12:10 PM

A group of us went to Crossroads Church to help Pastor Billy today. Crossroads is a local church that is located within the city’s farmer’s market. We constructed an outdoor area for the children of the church. Additionally, we cleaned the kitchen, bathrooms, and pressure washed the walls of the building.

Lights, Camera, Action!

by Becca Brubaker | June 7, 2021 9:17 PM

We kicked off our first day at ministry sites at the Bolton Safe Haven. We performed a skit about kindness and made friendship bracelets with the kids to give away to someone else in their class. After spending the first half of the day with the youth at the Safe Haven summer enrichment program, we headed to Families First. Families First is a non-profit that helps people who are recovering from domestic violence. We helped them clean out a new space they are moving into.

Day 2 Ministry - Building a Ramp

by Camden Patterson | June 8, 2021 11:26 AM

A group of us went with Pastor Billy today to a community members’ home to build a ramp into their home. Our group was able to share our construction skills to benefit the community!

Demolition Time!

by Becca Brubaker | June 8, 2021 10:02 PM

We had a great day with the youth at the Bolton Safe Haven Camp. The classes did lessons practicing writing, geography, learning the planets, and even had time to spare for an awesome game of kickball. Afterwards, we got to do some fun demolition work for the Families First non-profit’s building they are renovating.

by Camden Patterson | June 9, 2021 11:28 AM

This morning we added the railing and some finishing touches on the ramp. We are blessed to serve and minister to the community with Pastor Billy.

Timber!

This afternoon we partnered with a local church and helped Pastor Willard clean out a part of the church property. We were able to clean out an area of branches, vines, and dead trees.

Our Final Day at Ministry Sites

by Becca Brubaker | June 9, 2021 10:03 PM

What an awesome way to end our ministry days, wrapping up our time at both Safe Haven and the Families First work site. We were able to have meaningful goodbyes with the kids and also had another productive day cleaning out the new site at Families First.

Rec Day!

by Camden Patterson | June 11, 2021 10:01 AM

After a week of ministry, we spent a day down in the Myrtle beach area. We visited the beach, the boardwalk area, and a few of us even took a spin on a boat!

We are blessed to have served Columbus County, NC this week. The Lord has continually provided us opportunities to know Him better through service. 

Goodbye, NC!
