This past Saturday, we had the privilege of sharing cookies and kindness at Providence Plaza and another housing complex in Thomasville. It’s a simple tradition we’ve kept alive to remind people they’re loved by God. Our students handed out cookies, played with kids, and gave out children’s Bible books, including the Christmas story. For some of our students, it was their first time praying with a stranger—a humbling and powerful experience. We’re grateful for moments like...

Celebrating the True Joy of Christmas Earlier this week, we came together for our White Elephant Gift Christmas Party—a night full of laughter, joy, and connection. But in the middle of all the fun, we took time to focus on the true meaning of the season. Christmas isn’t about receiving gifts or traditions like Santa Claus—it’s about the greatest gift of all: Jesus Christ. We explored the purpose of Advent, the anticipation of His coming, and why His birth is the foundation of...

We are incredibly thankful to everyone who helped us bring Thanksgiving cheer to our community this year!

It was especially heartwarming to reconnect with people we’ve seen over the years and share a simple meal with those who may not have family during this season. We were also inspired by so many new students and...

Lady reading: she was crying and was going through a rough time, she didn’t want to talk about it or say her name, asked if she went to church and she didn’t want to talk about it. She asked to pray for God’s will to be done and it took her a minute to catch herself from crying. And I could tell she really needed someone today to help her with whatever she is going through. - a journal entry from a student on our NYC 2024 fall break mission trip The Walk Youth Group Building...

I have no clue what to say or do. I never have written to God, only talked through prayer. So here goes nothing. Today I said I wasn’t going to wash feet at all, but I did end up washing feet. I had an interaction where I was about to begin washing this man’s feet, and he comes in on his wheelchair. I shake his hand and we introduce ourselves. He says his name was Harold or something along that line, and I ask him his shoe size, and he says 13, but at that point we were out of everything...
