Living Boldly!

by Reagan Norman | July 30, 2023 12:44 PM

This morning we went to Hilltop Church and had an amazing service! Pastor Daniel gave an encouraging and challenging message about living out our faith boldly. We had a special moment where we got to pray over Pastor Daniel and his family! Leaving church today we feel empowered and called to be bold & unashamed in our faith!

Building a Foundation On the Truth!

After we finished up with our work projects we were invited to go into the building where the men from the Men’s Home have their classes. This building is still being redone and we were asked to write Bible verses down on the ground! What a beautiful way to physically build on top of Scripture! Kellen chose to write down 2 Corinthians 5:17!

Each box of food that we got to bless someone with, we were also able to bless them with spiritual food by praying for them!
