Arriving in Jackson!
by Tyler Thiessen | June 25, 2022 9:21 PM
We made it to Jackson! We arrived today around 3pm and then ate dinner, got settled in at the church we will be staying at, and spent some time preparing our hearts to serve. We are excited for what God has planned this week!

Sunday Worship, Southern Fried Lunch, and Civil Rights Museum!
by Tyler Thiessen | June 26, 2022 8:24 PM
Today we were blessed to be able to worship with our brothers and sisters in Christ at Madison United Methodist Church, the church that is hosting us while we are in Jackson!
We then went to a classic southern fried catfish restaurant, finished our fun day exploring the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum, and learned a lot about the history of the people that we are about to serve!

Monday Morning at the Perkins Foundation!

This morning we started our work at the John and Vera Mae Perkins Foundation by beginning cleaning a home that we will continue to work with the rest of the week. The house will be used this fall to provide housing for college students that will be mentors to kids in the neighborhood. We are grateful to be able to serve with such a great ministry!

Moses Parted the Red Sea

This afternoon, we joined with the kids from the Perkins Foundation Summer Camp for some fun and fellowship. We reminded them of the story of Moses parting the Red Sea and had a fun craft to go along with it. After that, we spent time playing ball and just having a good time together!
We're excited to continue this relationship throughout the week!

On Tuesday morning, we picked up right where we left off and continued to clean up this home to make sure it will be ready for people to move in soon. We primarily focused on painting and fixing some water damage in the ceiling. We look forward to getting as far as we can with this project!

Last Day in Jackson!
by Tyler Thiessen | June 30, 2022 2:41 PM
Today is our last full day here in Jackson, it is crazy to see all that God has done in our lives and through the work we have been able to do here in Jackson!
We spent the day by going on a scavenger hunt, eating a Haitian meal at Rudy and Caroline’s house, and then playing with the kids from the Perkins foundation at a Jump Park!
