Awake Youth Event

by Leah Johnson | June 8, 2025 11:11 PM

We went to a youth event gathering where many different groups gathered. We even got to meet other praying Pelican teams and worship in the same room! There was a great message about living in Christ and finding our identity in Him.

Goodbye bushes!!

by Gabbryonna Richie | June 9, 2025 4:28 PM

We’re getting the morning started with a word from principal Neal of Unity Christian Academy before we tackle some yard work! We’re grateful the Lord has used us to be a vessel in order to bless Neal, the school and staff, and its building!

Goodbye bushes!!

No more trees!

We had so much fun figuring out how to uproot a tree! But with the Lord, all things are possible (Phil. 4:13) !!
