Celebrating 8 Years of Building 229!

Tomorrow marks the 8th anniversary of Building 229 being gifted to 1NeedNow, Inc. (The Walk Youth Group) by The River Church in Thomasville, GA. This building’s story began 64 years ago, built by Temple Baptist in 1960, passed to The River Church in 2007, and then entrusted to us in 2017. Although these churches aren’t affiliated, they all shared a deep faith and a common calling.
This building stands today because of the faith, generosity, and sacrifices of those who came before us. For decades, people gave their tithes and offerings, unaware that we would one day be the recipients of their gifts. They gave out of love for Jesus and faith in what He was doing then and what He would do in the future. Because of their generosity, we received this building for free—an incredible testament to God’s provision.

We are also deeply grateful to those who have given and continue to give so that we could restore and breathe new life into this property. To everyone who has prayed for us, worked alongside us on countless workdays, and supported us in so many ways—we could not have done it without you. It has truly taken an army of volunteers, and we are blessed beyond measure to be part of this beautiful legacy, continuing to show Christ’s love to our community.
Thank you for being part of God’s masterpiece with us. We are so blessed!

With heartfelt gratitude,
Chris, Amy, and Lauren
