Our youth team from the 1st Baptist Church in Frisco, Tx. is back for the 4th time!! It’s such a blessing to see how the kids from this community in West Virginia remember them from past years and run up to greet them with a big welcome! Long lasting relationships right there!

When I tell you the Blue Student Ministry did A-MA-ZING on their first day of VBS! Kids were running, singing, jumping and laughing! It was a total blast! We are so excited to see what God has prepared for the rest of the week.

Linda and Bob have been working for their community for more than 20 years! They are in charge of this amazing food bank that helps whoever needs it.
We love to see how God uses this place to bless this region and we look up to them as an example for empathy towards others!

Today, a dedicated team from Dallas, TX, rolled up their sleeves and made a significant impact at Twin Branch Trinity School. This passionate group of volunteers spent the day cleaning the school's walls, bringing a fresh and vibrant look to the educational environment.

What commitment have the youth from Dallas TX!!! Painting a wall of more than 1000 feet and working side by side with the people of the community with one heart. After 10 years of not painting the wall tomorrow will be the final day guys! We can do it all together as one people of God!!!

Vacation Bible School is the best part of the day! Getting to know the kids in Twin Branch and playing with them is such a blessing!
“I love how their faces light up when they come in and see us…for a coup of hours, they can fully enjoy their time, without worrying about the rest of their lives” Shared one of the students of Blue Ministry.
We thank God for the way he uses us!

Our team has been doing a lot of work with the rollers and brushes!! It’s amazing to see their willingness to help out the people in this community.
Even when things like the Appalachian weather make things a little bit more complicated, they do it with love just because they can! And that reminds us of Galatians 6:10 “ Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.”
Don’t worry though, we are always making sure everyone is drinking plenty of water! ;)

"Yesterday, our amazing Christian team came together to serve one of our partner church members in a beautiful way!
We cut grass, cleaned walls, and so much more, but most importantly, we showed up with love and care. It's moments like these that remind us of the true heart of the church - to serve, to love, and to support one another.

Painting this wall for the community has been pending for 3 years!!! And now it has been done!!! This is so satisfying!!! We all were so happy, and the mayor told us," thank for coming and help our community! You did a great job!" And had the opportunity to pray with him. Praise the Lord!!!

We are so thankful to God for the amazing week that we had! He blessed us in so many ways! We got to work with kids, with our amazing partners in this community and we got to strengthen relationships along the way. The Lord just kept on showing us how much He Loves us, and showed once again the incredible things He can do trough us!

Before going back home, we took some time to stop and chat with God, one on one, about what happened this week.
Our mission is not over! We are coming home and we’re hungry for revival in our cities!
We pray that The Lord will keep on using us for his plan!
