Church

We were able to attend Hope Fellowship Church with Pastor James Williams. This is a picture of Pop, a man who was homeless and lost until he found the church, singing a song of praise.

Prayer Walking at Bent Tree

by Amber Nehotte | June 13, 2016 11:42 PM

We joined with Reverend James walking around the apartments that surround the church praying for redemption and restoration. We met a couple people on our walk and even ran into a guy that was at least 4" taller than Ron!

VBS

We put on a VBS for about 50 kids and it was AWESOME! We got to actually go around to the apartments and meet the residents and invite them out to VBS. Kids showed up ready to take all the energy we had to give and God was so good and just kept giving us an abundance. We are so excited to see what God brings tomorrow!

Calvary Rescue Mission

by Amber Nehotte | June 15, 2016 7:42 AM

We were able to serve at the Calvary Rescue Mission and meet the guys that live here! We served tacos and had a chapel service. Ty and Sam B. were even a part of the service! It was an awesome place of refuge for the men that we met and they said they'd served over a million men since they started, praise God!!

Another day at VBS

by Amber Nehotte | June 15, 2016 7:48 AM

Today seemed a bit more exhausting than yesterday, but the Lord is the provider and he gave us enough energy and his Holy Spirit to continue doing the work we have been called to this week. The kiddos are listening to the Bible story led by Sam B.

Caritas Village

by Amber Nehotte | June 15, 2016 7:51 AM

We LOVED all of our time spent at Caritas Village today! We started by weeding a garden they get their food for the restaurant from and picking up trash around the neighborhood, praying as we worked. Then we came back after VBS to have dinner and it was awesome! Our other partner pastor and his family got to join us, praise God again!

VBS day 3

by Amber Nehotte | June 16, 2016 10:16 PM

We all braved the heat and humidity and play a game of human wheelbarrow. Dariana also gave a devotional that the kids LOVED! She may have found a new gifting. PS ask her about the eggs :D We've really grown close with all these kids that we didn't even know 3 days ago. What a blessing they've been this week!

More than just VBS

by Amber Nehotte | June 16, 2016 10:59 PM

We have been so blessed and provided for this week! We came to serve a community, but honestly we have been so blessed by those we've come to serve. We've experienced humility, patience, gratitude, joy, brokenness, restoration and redemption with this group. We are so grateful to God for using us as vessels.

Touring Memphis

by Amber Nehotte | June 16, 2016 11:02 PM

We were able to learn a little more about the city we were serving today. We went on a tour with a local Memphis resident and he tied some of the history of the city with the work we've been doing. We also got to enjoy a 6lb burger for lunch, see pandas at the zoo and then have some real Memphis BBQ for dinner!
