October 21, 2024

First person: Serving in North Carolina

October 20, 2024

This past week God put it on my heart to go down and serve the people affected by Hurricane Helene in North Carolina. I didn’t know what that would look like or if it would even be possible so I just prayed that if it was God’s will that He would open doors and if not that He would shut them.
