Please keep us in your prayers as we serve, grow, and connect. Let’s make this a week to remember!

What an incredible day of service our team from Mount Zion GMC had at Minneapolis Baptist Church in Minneapolis, NC! We rolled up our sleeves and got to work on a variety of projects, all to help the church continue its vital mission in the community.

Our group dove right in, preparing and staining trim for the Sunday school rooms, ensuring the space is inviting and ready for the children who will be learning and growing there. We also tackled some hands-on repairs, including floor repairs in the ministry building, wallboard fixes, and plumbing repairs that will help keep everything running smoothly.

Big thanks to Teen Valley Ranch for providing us with the perfect accommodations to rest and recharge after a hard day's work. It’s truly inspiring to see how our combined efforts can make a lasting impact. Today, Minneapolis Baptist Church is one step closer to being able to continue its important work in serving the local community.

We are grateful for this opportunity to serve and look forward to seeing the continued growth and success of this wonderful ministry!

Today, our mission team from Mount Zion GMC continued our work at Minneapolis Baptist Church in Newland, NC. With the support of Teen Valley Ranch, our gracious hosts nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, we spent another day in service and fellowship.

Under a sky that shifted from cloudy to sunny, our team made significant progress—repairing floors, installing baseboards, and mending walls. Each task was more than just maintenance; it was an opportunity to serve with purpose and gratitude.

Beyond the tools and paint, we connected with the church family and neighbors, sharing stories, prayers, and encouragement. These moments reminded us that our mission is not just about physical labor but about building relationships and strengthening community bonds.

As we reflect on today's work, we are filled with gratitude for the opportunity to serve and for the warmth and hospitality we've received. We look forward to another day of service and fellowship.
