We would like to extend our gratitude to all those who generously contribute to the Walk Youth Group. This was written by Lauren Strickland: “We had an incredible week in San Francisco over spring break. We would like to thank everyone for making trips like this possible. Several of the students who attended this trip asked Jesus into their hearts earlier this year. It is so encouraging to watch their faith deepen as they share about Jesus and pray for others for the first time. As we got...

We had an amazing Easter morning outreach expedition with some of our youth! Our focus today was on reaching out to people who were unable to attend an Easter church service so we decided to bring church to them. We prayed for many of the hardworking housekeepers at hotels and motels in our area and showed them the love of Jesus in our own small way. As a Christian ministry, we believe in being doers of the word and sharing His love with everyone we meet. We look forward to continuing our...

We were so thankful to once again be given the opportunity to partner with City Impact as they serve the Tenderloin district in San Francisco, California. The Tenderloin district is known for its brokenness, however each time we go we find ourselves having such Holy encounters in the midst of so much heartache. Isn’t that the way that Jesus works? He meets us in our brokenness and brings goodness in the least likely places. Thank you City Impact for hosting our group and letting us partner...

Sunday morning Thomasville outreach story from Lauren: “Joy and I took a group of teenagers to two different apartment complexes in town. As we began to leave our last location, we saw a woman running from her porch trying to flag us down. We pulled over and realized it was Ms. T, one of the women we have met and prayed for several times during outreach. She and her friend came running towards us. Ms. T said, “We were just sitting on the porch and when I saw the big white van drive by I...

Written by a student: “NYC mission trip story: While we were picking up trash in a Manhattan neighborhood, Chris saw a woman smoking a cigarette on the steps of a hotel across the street. We decided to walk across the street and asked her how her day was going. She almost immediately started crying as she told us about her daughter’s sickness. She told us that her daughter has had an issue with swallowing food and drink since she was 15 years old; She is now 18. She was scheduled to have...

NYC Mission Trip from Ellie: “This past week, we took 10 students from ages 12 to 16 up to New York for a mission trip. We stayed in Living Waters Church in Brooklyn, New York. For our first day of mission work, we wrote verses of love on slips of paper and walked around placing them on cars or handing them to people. Of course, we wanted to do outreach, so we split into two groups and had lots of encounters. We noticed there was a huge language barrier in the areas where we were, but that...

Written by a student: “New Orleans summer mission trip story 2021: Today we met Leon. Leon was an older man, born and raised in New Orleans. He told us he had not talked to his family in the city in 20 years. We prayed for him. He told us that he grew up Baptist. I asked him after the prayer why he had not seen his family. He said that 20 years ago that the FBI had investigated the murder of his niece. He had been investigated and evidence showed he did not do it. He cried as he told us...
