Grace Baptist Church Vero Beach, FL Our last week in Florida was spent at Grace Baptist Church in Vero Beach. We began our time with Grace with Aaron speaking to the men for Sunday school and Steph to the ladies. The rest of the team met with the youth group, and we came back together for the morning service. Sunday evening after the service, we enjoyed an ice cream fellowship with the church. What a fun way to get to know this sweet body of believers! On Tuesday before the evening service, the team met with the teens and played ultimate frisbee. Hudson gave a short challenge to the teens and after we enjoyed some pizza together. We had a fun time getting to know the teens during our activity! Wednesday evening was our Irish concert. Half way through the concert when we have a short “intermission”, the pastor told us that a lady had already gotten saved! She had come to the church on that Sunday because of a flyer that the church had left at her home. She had returned to the concert on Wednesday night and immediately found someone to talk to before the concert had even begun! There are people who are searching for answers, and because of the Good News, they can find their answer for hope in Jesus! What a blessing to partner with Grace Baptist in furthering the Gospel in Vero Beach this week. On our day off, Pete, a sweet member of the church, offered to take our team out on his boat! We are so thankful for the experiences and sweet memories God gives us as we travel to different places, as well as the people He brings into our lives as we serve in different churches. We are thankful for the sweet spirit of the congregation at Grace Baptist, and we enjoyed our week of ministry there. Click "Read More" to see more pictures from our week at Grace Baptist!

Berea Baptist Church Palm Harbor, FL We traveled from Miami to the west coast of Florida to Palm Harbor for a week of ministry at Berea Baptist. We started off our week together with an Irish concert on Sunday night. We were encouraged by how many people had friends attend, and we are praying for the many who heard the Gospel that evening. Monday night, we had our first Ladies Night! The ladies brought in different soups and salads, and enjoyed fellowshipping together before Steph taught a devotional on Luke 9. The men had an evening together on Tuesday. Aaron challenged the men from the Word. Our team guys had a great time with the men and boys of the church and afterwards enjoyed some meat! Wednesday night, we held our family fun night. It is always such a fun time to see everyone get involved in competing for their team. While Aaron preached after our tic tac toe challenge, the rest of the team took the children back to finish our kid’s program for the week. Thursday night, we had a teen event, and our team had a sweet time of singing, playing games, and getting to know the teenagers. Hudson led a singspiration, and afterwards, we played spikeball. We enjoyed our week at Berea Baptist, and we are thankful for the opportunity we had to serve there! Click "Read More" to see more pictures from our week at Berea Baptist! Jan 8-13
First Baptist Church of Westwood Lake Miami, FL Our team is back together after a few weeks of rest during the holidays! Everyone had a sweet time celebrating with family over the past several weeks. The team met up in Miami at First Baptist of Westwood Lake, and we jumped right in with preparations for a full week of ministry with the church and the Christian school! Sunday through Tuesday night we held our regular evening services with the church family, and on Wednesday evening, we had our first Family Fun Night of 2023! It did not disappoint, and we had an absolute blast laughing and cheering together during our tic tac toe challenge. On Thursday, we hosted an outdoors dodgeball tournament, and we had over 100 teenagers from the church and school show up both to watch and compete. It was quite the busy evening, and we had a fun time with all the kids! In the middle of the evening, Aaron had the opportunity to share the Gospel with the kids before we had pizza and finished the tournament. We ended our time at First Baptist with our Irish concert on Friday night. It was an enjoyable time of making music, and Aaron was able to share the gospel with the many people that came out for the concert. We also led several chapels for the K-12 grades during the week. Hudson and Aaron led the teen chapels Monday through Thursday, and on Monday and Wednesday, the whole team got to participate in the elementary chapels with Aaron and Josh leading. The kids were eager to listen and be involved, and we had fun interacting with them. Please pray for the hearts of the teenagers from the school this week, and that God would continue to work in them and soften their hearts. Our first week back on the road was filled with many wonderful people and experiences, and we are so thankful for our time of partnering in ministry with the people at First Baptist! November 20th
Maranatha Baptist Church Clarkston, MI Our final Sunday of the semester was at Maranatha Baptist Church in Clarkston, Michigan. Aaron had Sunday school with the men, Steph with the ladies, and the team with the youth group. It’s always a sweet time when we’re able to lead several different classes for Sunday school. We then led the Sunday morning service. We’ve always loved our time at Maranatha, and this time was no different! We’re thankful for the sweet fellowship with the church family. November 13-16
Fellowship Baptist Church Portland, IN Our six team members, plus Ella and Asher, traveled to Portland, Indiana to do the Sunday services and chapels at Fellowship Baptist Church from Monday to Wednesday. We had a wonderful time with this church and school family! We did youth group for Sunday school, and Hudson preached to the congregation while the rest of the team led our kids’ program. Sunday evening, the church had a Thanksgiving potluck, and following that we held a singspiration for the evening service. Monday and Tuesday, we did both the elementary and high school chapels for Jay County Christian Academy, the school that uses the church’s facilities. Wednesday, we had the opportunity to do Cola Wars during the entire school day for the high schoolers. We had a great time doing several different games, and Hudson preached two sessions for the students. We enjoyed getting to know the students throughout the week, and we’re thankful for all the opportunities to minister to the people of Portland this week! |
