Love Builds

There’s something powerful about sharing a meal and serving our community together.

This weekend, we’ll be gathering in Selma for a FREE Community Meal, and everyone is invited.

Before Saturday’s meal, we’ll be hitting the neighborhood Friday evening, going door-to-door to meet people, invite them to join us, and pray for anyone who has needs. Sometimes ministry is as simple as showing up, listening, and letting people know they are loved.

Then on Saturday at 12:00 PM, we’ll gather around the table for good food, good conversation, good music, and good people.

A special thank you to Potts' Meats, First Baptist Church of Normandy, Homestead Way, and everyone volunteering their time and resources to make this event possible.

Whether you come to serve, eat, pray, or simply connect with others, there’s a place for you.

Let’s continue building relationships, strengthening our community, and sharing the love of Jesus one conversation at a time.

“There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.” -Douglas H. Everett

What better place to have that happen than on a mission trip. When you join us for a trip, you can expect to be encouraged and inspired to reach your full potential in this world. We hope to see you soon!

May 1–8, 2026 we are heading back to Zambrano, Honduras — and we have plenty of room if you’d like to join us.

On this trip we will:

• Go door to door in every village handing out food
• Pray personally for families
• Meet practical needs
• Hold local church services
• Preach, teach, and encourage

We are raising $7,000 to purchase 7,000 lbs of food to distribute throughout the villages. Any additional food will be distributed locally to families in need.

...
After years of being trapped in a toxic work environment that left me with little time for anyone, I finally broke free. That experience led me to a decision: I would never let work or ministry come between my relationships again.

At its core, life is about two simple truths—loving God and loving others.

Paul emphasizes the importance of making time for people in Ephesians 5:15-16:

"Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men, but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil."

This verse reminds us to be intentional with our time, using it wisely to prioritize what truly matters—our relationships—because the time we have is precious.

As 2025 comes to an end, our hearts are full.

Yesterday we had the privilege of hosting Homestead Way Church for a full day of ministry — walking with the monks in Selma on their peace walk, homeless outreach with conversations and prayer over pizza, our afterschool program promotion night, and then heading back out to deliver meals to those in need after the event.

This is what Love Builds is all about — showing up, loving people where they are, and serving in tangible ways.

Thank you to every volunteer, partner, church, donor, parent, and supporter who made 2025 possible. None of this happens without you.

We’re incredibly grateful… and we’re expectant for what 2026 holds.

Love builds. Always.
