The past two weeks have been nothing short of AMAZING!

We’ve been blessed to participate in back-to-school events, resource fairs, community outreach, and so much more. We’ve experienced challenges, ups and downs, but through it all, God has continued to show Himself faithful!

We’ve helped furnish homes for 9 people, connected seniors with 2 motorized hover rounds, played bingo, provided showers, and fed families and individuals in Randleman and Winston-Salem. We’ve made countless connections, received an overflow of blessings, and had the opportunity to share the love of Jesus with every person we encountered.

And then came the greatest blessing… SALVATION!

We’ve had people call and say, “I’m ready to be baptized!” because they gave their lives to Christ. God is moving! God is doing a new thing! God is pouring out an overflow of blessings!

We also took our final field trip to the Natural Science Museum, and what an incredible time it was! The group may have been small, but the memories were BIG! The kids and adults had an amazing time, and we were able to sit down with the children and have intimate conversations about who Jesus is.

Honestly, we can’t remember everything we’ve done. We can’t remember every person who has donated, every connection we’ve made, or every door God has opened. We can’t even fathom all that God is doing through Grace Given.

But one thing we DO know:

WE’RE EXPECTING GREAT THINGS! 🙌🏽🔥

We’re expecting MORE families to be blessed.
We’re expecting MORE lives to be changed.
We’re expecting MORE people to say YES to Jesus.
We’re expecting MORE doors to open.
We’re expecting MORE of God’s purpose to unfold.

Just one phone call can change everything. Being able to bless a family of five yesterday and another family of six has brought a joy that is truly indescribable. There is nothing like knowing you were able to be the hands and feet of Jesus when someone needed it most.

So as the blessings continue to overflow, as the opportunities continue to grow, and as God continues to do what only He can do, we will continue to give Him ALL the glory!

Thank You, Lord, for what You have already done, what You are doing right now, and what You are STILL going to do!

And to everyone who has donated, volunteered, taken the time to pray for us, or simply encouraged us along the way, THANK YOU! Your support, prayers, generosity, and encouragement mean more than you know. You are a part of every life we touch, every family we bless, and every opportunity we have to share the love of Jesus. We could not do this without you!

Grace Given is expecting GREAT things!

A heartfelt thank-you to High Pine Wesleyan Church for their incredible generosity and willingness to serve those in our community who are unsheltered.

They lovingly prepared backpacks filled with canned goods, snacks, water bottles, and an encouraging Bible verse to remind each person that they are seen, valued, and cared for.

We truly can’t thank you enough for your kindness, compassion, and commitment to serving others. Your generosity is making a meaningful difference in the lives of people right here in our community. Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus!

Grace Given — Another Adventure! Field Trip #7!

This past Wednesday we kept it simple—but what a wonderful day we had!

As always, we started our day with prayer before heading out. We went to see Toy Story 5, then enjoyed a delicious meal at Zeko’s. Thank you so much for all the hospitality and love you showed our kids!

After lunch, we headed to the park, and then made one more stop at Pelican’s SnoBalls.

It may have been a simple trip, but it was filled with so much joy! We had the opportunity to talk, laugh, and spend time getting to know the kids even more. Most importantly, we were able to share Jesus with them and make sure they know who Jesus truly is.

Sometimes the simplest days create the sweetest memories. We are so thankful for every conversation, every laugh, and every opportunity to pour into these kids.

We also want to give a HUGE thank-you to Uwharrie Charter Academy for allowing us to use their bus all summer. You have truly been one of the biggest blessings to us!

And to all of our amazing volunteers, THANK YOU! Your time, love, and dedication have meant more than you know.

Every donation, prayer, helping hand, volunteer hour, and word of encouragement has made a difference. We could not have done this without the love and support of so many amazing people.

We are so grateful for every adventure, every child, every volunteer, and every opportunity God has given us.

Until the next adventure!

Today has been an overflow of blessings, and we simply can’t thank God enough for all He is doing through Grace Given!

This morning, we were overwhelmed by the generosity of so many individuals, churches, and organizations. Your kindness, prayers, and support continue to remind us that God is faithful and that His people have such giving hearts.

A special thank you to Red Cross Baptist Church for the wonderful donations collected by your Vacation Bible School children. What a blessing!

Thank you to New Union United Methodist Church for faithfully donating every month. Your continued support means so much to Grace Given, and we are truly grateful.

Thank you to First Baptist Church and Pastor Trogdon for organizing your church family to come and serve our community during our Shower & Laundry Day. Thank you for providing food, serving with joyful hearts, and sharing the love of Jesus with everyone who came.

Thank you to Crossroads Baptist Church for sending volunteers to serve alongside us during Shower & Laundry Day. Your willingness to love and serve others is a tremendous blessing.

Thank you to Journey Church for continually allowing us to provide showers for our unsheltered family. Your partnership helps make this ministry possible.

We also want to thank everyone who donated, attended, and supported our 5-Year Gala. Because of your generosity, we now have our brand-new shower trailer!

We give God all the glory for this incredible blessing. This new shower trailer will allow us to provide many more showers, reach more people, and expand our ministry into surrounding counties. We are excited to see how God will use it to share His love and meet the needs of so many.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who has donated, volunteered, prayed, and loved on Grace Given. You are making a lasting difference, and we are honored to serve alongside you as God continues to move and work through this ministry.

What an amazing time we had serving our community during National Night Out!

A heartfelt thank you to the Asheboro Police Department, Asheboro Fire Department, and the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office for hosting such a wonderful event for our community.

A special thank you to our Grace Givens volunteers for serving popcorn and cotton candy throughout the evening. Your willingness to serve helped make the night even more special.

It was truly a blessing to see so many families and neighbors come together to enjoy a fun, safe, and memorable evening. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve alongside so many dedicated community partners. Thank you to everyone who came out and made the night a success!

Monday was such a blessing, and we can’t believe we forgot to post about it!

We had the best time visiting The Kids of Hope and sharing about what Grace Given does to help serve our community. Most importantly, we were able to share that it’s all about Jesus and how He calls us to love and treat others with kindness. We also had the opportunity to give each child a treat bag to take home. Thank you for welcoming us and allowing us to spend time with such an amazing group!

After that, we headed to Randleman and set up at Pink Swan Thrift. We were blessed to serve right at 90 people! A huge thank you to Pink Swan Thrift for allowing us to serve there, and to Women in Faith for preparing the delicious meal and helping serve our community.

We are so thankful for every opportunity God gives us to love, serve, and share the hope of Jesus. Thank you to everyone who makes this ministry possible.

We don’t even know where to begin! God has been moving in such amazing ways, and He has done so many wonderful things through this ministry that it’s impossible to remember or tell it all. But God knows every life that has been touched, and for that, we give Him all the glory.

Over the past couple of months, we have been blessed to help furnish homes for 15 families, providing them with a fresh start and a place to call home.

We are also incredibly thankful for our amazing volunteers. They have faithfully stepped up to serve, and they even represented our ministry by speaking on a panel. Their dedication and willingness to serve have been a tremendous blessing.

God has also allowed us to bless two individuals with vehicles—one today and one two weeks ago—helping provide reliable transportation for work, school, family, and everyday life. We are so thankful to God for placing it on the hearts of the individuals who donated these vehicles. We know they do not want recognition, but we want to take a moment to honor their generosity and thank them for choosing to help others in such a meaningful way. Their kindness is a beautiful example of serving others and showing God’s love.

In Winston-Salem, we have served meals to more than 350 people today and last month. . We have continued providing showers and laundry services for members of our community, meeting practical needs while sharing the love of Christ.

The blessings don’t stop there. We’ve seen people find employment, reconnect with family, restore relationships, and begin rebuilding their lives. There have been so many testimonies and victories that we couldn’t possibly list them all, but every single one matters.

We are overwhelmed with gratitude for what God is doing. Thank you to every volunteer, donor, supporter, and prayer partner who continues to make this work possible. Your love, generosity, and faithfulness are making a real difference in the lives of so many people.

To God be all the glory for every life changed, every need met, and every door He continues to open. We are excited to see what He will do next!

Yesterday was a challenging day. It felt like nothing was going our way. Even in the middle of every obstacle, God reminded us that everything will be alright if we continue to trust Him.
Through every challenge, we kept thanking Him. We kept praising Him because we know God can do the unthinkable.
We are incredibly thankful to Browers Wesleyan Church for choosing Grace Given as the ministry to support during their Vacation Bible School. Thank you to every boy and girl who gave so willingly, and to the parents who made it possible.
The sweetest moment of all came as one child was leaving. They found a quarter on the ground and said, “You can donate this to them too.” What a beautiful reminder that it’s not the size of the gift that matters, but the heart behind it.
God is so amazing, and we’re grateful to witness His love at work through generous hearts of all ages. Thank you to everyone who gave, prayed, and supported Grace Given. May God bless each of you abundantly.

Today we had the privilege of speaking at Flags Springs United Methodist Church about how Grace Given is serving our community. What a blessing it is to have my parents by my side as we share what God is doing through this ministry.

Today’s scripture was Psalm 24, and the message reminded us that it’s not about me, it’s all about God.

A heartfelt thank you to Flags Springs United Methodist Church and Seagrove United Methodist Church for welcoming us so warmly and for the incredible generosity you showed to Grace Given. Your kindness and support mean more than words can express.

God continues to show up and show out in ways we could never imagine. We are so thankful for all He has done, all He is doing, and all that is still to come. We know He has great things in store, and we give Him all the glory.
God is so amazing! #
