Sunday Worship

This morning we were blessed to worship alongside our host church. We were warmly welcomed by Pastor Dane and the entire church. Thank you Providence Baptist Church for hosting us this week and for making us feel so at home here!

We Are Ready!

We spent the afternoon at our host church learning more about the community we are serving in and growing closer together as a team. We shared our life stories with each other and prayed over each other. Of course we had a little fun in the Carolina sun too. We are ready to serve this week!

Charlotte Family Housing

Today some of us are serving at Charlotte Family Housing. When we arrived this morning we played a game that put into perspective what it is like to try and take care of a family with low income. Now we are cleaning around the facility to give the residents a nice break from chores today!

Blessing Bags

Striving for Excellence
by Katie Pendley | March 5, 2024 6:56 PM
We are working hard to do our best at every task the Lord gives us this week. We talk a lot about how everything can be done in service to the Lord and to share His love with others. We have been working hard to leave garden beds free of weeds and hundreds of windows squeaky clean.

For rec day we headed to the Billy Graham Library and had an amazing experience hearing about his legacy and learning how to share the Gospel. We then went to the Discovery Place science museum and did some souvenir shopping at the mall.

We are Ady B grandparents! We couldn’t be more excited as you all walk in love and service to our King. May God do a profound work as you all touch that community for Him. As He expands His Kingdom boarders in NC, we are also praying that He graciously put His finger on each youths heart and call them into the abundant life He offers. May we continue looking to the Author & Finisher of our Faith our Lord Jesus for in Him all things are possible. ! May lives be changed! We stand in great expectancy as to what God will do in hearts that are tender and willing ??
