More Than Just Alive

I have had a hard time putting into words our experience in Boone, NC last week with Samaritan’s Purse. But I am going to try. If you have an opportunity to go with them and volunteer, DO IT! It doesn’t cost you anything….only your time off work. Samaritan’s Purse is one of the most organized groups I have been with and their main purpose is truly ministering to not only the people who are being served but those that came to serve.

The stories we heard from our neighbors and their experiences during and after Hurricane Helene are nothing short of miraculous. We would stop every morning and every afternoon at a local coffee shop and EVERY time, people would stop us and tell us their story and how Samaritan’s Purse volunteers had helped and ministered to them. God is so good and allowed me the opportunity to serve in Jesus name last week!
Here are a few pictures.

Hey friends! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas season celebrating the birth of our savior! As we go into the new year, I wanted to make you aware of a serving opportunity for you. Well, I have one spot left on the team. It is currently slotted for a female but I can change to a male if a male is interested. 😊

I have organized a team to go to Boone, NC to help our neighbors rebuild from Hurricane Helene. We are partnering with Samaritan’s Purse to minister to the people of Watuga County, NC. In September 2024, hurricane Helene tour through western North Carolina, dumping extreme, rainfall and causing catastrophic damage, leading parts of the region in ruins. Rebuild volunteers will work to rebuild and repair homes damaged during this event. Far beyond the physical help you will extend to the homeowners, the spiritual, and emotional support you offer to them is even more important. 

So if you have been interested in a mission opportunity but not ready to go international, here is your opportunity!! Send me a message and I can give you the details.

And guess what? No fundraising needed!! It does not cost anything but your food on the way up and back home. Room and board is covered!!

Hey friends! I just wanted to come on and post a quick update. So after much prayer and seeking discernment, our leader for The Gambia trip made the very difficult decision to cancel our trip. We fpund out last night. There were a lot of issues with The Gambia government and they were not going to allow us to bring any of our medications or supplies in addition to wome orher issues. Our team is very sad but also 100% confident that the right decision was made. All the funds contributed and raised will go toward another trip in the future. Please join with me in praying for the people of The Gambia as well as our team. Your prayers are so appreciated!!
