IT’S REGISTRATION DAY and everyone here in Rockingham County, NC is more than ready for a fantastic week. As early 1:30pm churches were arriving at Rockingham Co. High School and excited for a week of serving. We had churches from as far as New Jersey to as local as a mile away from the facility showing up with smiles on their faces. We are thankful for the safety and provision that God has provided as everyone traveled.
After a successful time of registration, all of the participants were able to settle into their rooms and explore their new home for the week. Shortly following, we all joined together for the Opening Celebration. Then, adults went to their meeting and students were able to have fun and play games. We then had a delicious, classic North Carolina dinner of BBQ that was accompanied by much fellowship and enthusiasm.
During worship this evening, our speaker for the week, Brandon Roney, spoke on the cost of both following Jesus as well as the cost of not following Jesus. He challenged each participant to be bold and daring by sharing their story with at least one person this week. We are really excited to hear how God is going to use each person who chooses to do so.
It has been a long day of travel and preparation. Tomorrow morning we hit the ground running as we work towards starting jobs on Monday! We meet our squads first thing and look forward to making new relationships with the people that we will be serving along side of. We are also very eager to be attending local churches and forming relationships with people who live here in Rockingham County. What an sensational day that lies ahead!
Please be in prayer as we embark on a busy, fun, and hopefully impactful week. Also, don’t forget to encourage each of our participants by sending ServeMail.
We can’t wait to fill you in on another incredible day tomorrow evening.
Serving you this summer,
Jackson & Alexis
