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...

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...

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...

We prayed for Holocaust survivors, Muslims, agnostics, atheists, individuals battling mental illness, drug dealers, addicts, a deaf individual, soldiers in our military, and so many others. We even prayed in the name of Jesus...

While we were in Central Park, a young autistic man in his 20s approached us. His face was smeared with chocolate from eating ice cream. He began asking questions and engaging in conversation, with a smile so bright it was impossible not to be drawn in. At one point, he asked, “Do I have chocolate on my face?” He attempted to wipe it off, but it became clear he couldn’t do it alone. I asked, “Would you like some help?” and he nodded. Gently, I began wiping his mouth and hands...
