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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
