Grace Given

10/09/2026

On Wednesday, Grace Given had the privilege of speaking to the Student LIFT Class of 2027, alongside United Way, Partnership for Children, and Habitat for Humanity.

Seeing the students engaged, asking questions, and eager to volunteer and get involved in helping their community is exactly what we pray for. We thank God for these young people and the opportunity to invest in their lives. They are our future, and with God’s guidance, investing in them today helps build a stronger, more compassionate tomorrow.

Life comes with challenges, and it’s important that we teach our children early about financial hardship, the importance of family, compassion, faith, and the power of helping one another. When we equip our young people with understanding, empathy, and a heart for service, we help prepare them not only for their own futures but also to make a difference in the lives of others while reflecting God’s love.

A special thank you to Adam Deathe with the Asheboro/Randolph Chamber for inviting us to be part of this wonderful opportunity. Thank you for leading this class, investing in these students, and serving as a positive example as you help them learn valuable life lessons.

At Grace Given, we believe that when we pour into our youth, encourage them to serve, and teach them the importance of faith and community, we are planting seeds that will continue to grow for generations to come. We pray that God will continue to guide these students and use them to make a positive impact in the world.

Together, with God’s help, we can make a difference one student, one family, and one act of kindness at a time.

As we reflect on these past few weeks and all the ways God has been so good to us, we truly can’t thank Him enough. Without Him, none of this would have been possible.

God has blessed us with the opportunity to serve and bless so many families and individuals with all kinds of needs. We’ve been able to spend time with seniors playing bingo, feed people at the bus station, provide families and individuals with access to showers and laundry, furniture, medications and so much more. We’ve also had to walk through the difficult experience of facing the loss of one of our extended family members. We also want to thank Authora Care for coming out and setting up and serving the community in Winston Salem bus station.

We can’t even begin to tell you all that God has blessed us to be able to do. And we certainly can’t thank everyone enough who has blessed us, supported us, volunteered, donated, prayed, and helped make it possible for us to bless others.

One of the places we visited recently truly blessed our hearts. A precious 3-year-old came up to us, gave us all hugs, and said, “Thank you.” But she didn’t stop there, she kept telling us that we had become her sisters.

Children are so innocent. They love because they don’t know any other way. They see everyone the same. What a beautiful lesson that is for all of us.

God sees no difference in any of us, so why should we?

One of the most amazing parts of serving our community is realizing just how much we are blessed while we are blessing others. Every hug, smile, conversation, and “thank you” reminds us that this work is about so much more than meeting physical needs. It’s about showing people the love of Jesus.

We are beyond thankful for every volunteer who faithfully and willingly gets up each day to go out and serve our community and the surrounding communities. Your time, your heart, and your willingness to serve mean more than you know.

We say it all the time, and we will keep saying it: the main ingredient in why we are able to do what we do is Jesus.

All glory belongs to Him.

We’ve still got room for a couple more teams! Don’t miss out, get your team together and let’s make it a great one!

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.
