Prayer Walking The Community

by Michael Jefferson | July 17, 2022 10:16 PM

Tonight we were able to partner with one of our partner churches for the week and prayer walk the community. It was great to pray over the community for all that they are believing God for and to see the students on the team put their faith in action by not only just praying over the community, but also praying for people in the community that we interacted with.

What a great way to end a great day!

Clean Up Time at MBC

by Drema Jefferson | July 18, 2022 10:16 PM

Meanwhile, another group cleaned behind the stage at MBC and moved some furniture around so that the church leaders could concentrate on the youth camp that is taking place this week. Even these little tasks can prove to be so meaningful to church leaders as they have so much on their plates this summer.
