In February, 197 individual students came to youth events—we’re grateful for each of you who showed up and invited friends. Thank you for being part of this.

After being in the park for about 30 minutes, we walked by a lady sitting on a bench. I honestly got nervous, just walking by her, but Lauren said that she felt it in her that we should go talk to her. We turned back around, and as we made an approach, another woman started going towards her and sat down next to her. We made conversation with the two of them and came to find out that their names were Ava and Alyssa. They were clearly struggling in life, drugs in hand, and covered in sores...

What I got out of this weekend was how important prayer is. Prayer isn’t new to me. It’s something I’ve done my whole life, but sometimes it feels more like a routine you’re following. But prayer is really a way of talking to God to grow closer to him and to grow deeper in your faith. It’s a way to become a follower by talking to God, one on one instead of just being a fan and watching what God does around you. - written by a student that attended D-Now Weekend 2025

This semester has been powerful, and we’ve already seen God moving in big ways. So far in January, 167 individual students have come through our doors—each counted only once, no matter how many events they’ve attended. But the real impact isn’t in the numbers; it’s in the lives being changed and the community being built.

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...

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...
