Our Journey South Ended with Global Impact Conference

We had a great time at the Global Impact Conference at First Baptist North Spartanburg. FBNS has partnered with Redemption Hill and invited us down for their annual missions conference. What a blessing it was to be there! We had an amazing host family, the Strouds! They were more than generous and we loved getting to know them and their sweet boys. Throughout the weekend we had the opportunity to share about our mission field in Medford, work with the Food From the Heart Food Drive, make new friends and visit with family. What an amazing weekend!

Ava and Thomas
They quickly became friends and wanted to be together all weekend! So sweet!
The Chasteen and Stroud kiddos!
Our host Sunday School Class
Dinner on the night of Home Briefings
Darren (our host) was in charge of the food drive. He had 1000 boxes donated from Upward for packing the food for the food drive. By the end of Saturday they were all full and they were in need of more because so much food was collected!
The food drive will stock the food banks in Spartanburg County for 3 months! Amazing!
Our hosts...Darren and Brigitte Stroud....love them!
My sweet, new friend, she is amazing!
