Sunday morning outreach (written by Lauren Strickland): Today Chris and I took a group to do outreach in the community. We had plans on going to one neighborhood, but God had other plans.

We talked to several people on their porches and had just hopped back in the van to head to a different area when Chris and I saw a woman walking down the sidewalk. We pulled over and got out to introduce ourselves. The...

We had an incredible trip to New Orleans this past week! While this week looked much different from the mission trips of the past, the word that kept coming up throughout the trip was obedience.

In a time of paralyzing uncertainty, God still whispered “trust me” and by trusting Him, we learned this week that while...

Your gifts went to maintenance and renovations of Building 229 that is so ready to be filled with the laughter of students again. And with each...

Here is one of the stories that Lauren shared with us that we would like to share with you: We met a homeless woman named Kathy sitting in the park. We went and sat with her and gave her a rose and bandana. She stared at the Rose and went on...
