UPDATE Week of October 3

 

Praise! We got a satisfactory photo of our group! Woo Hoo!


Ned Just Keeps On Getting Older!

We celebrated Ned's birthday on Monday at the Miller Mansion! It was extra special for the old Nedster as there were several alumni who popped in to also share the love. 


Leader Extraordinaire

Wednesday, we had a fantastic Leader Lunch with Steve Lineberger, a true leader of leaders. Thanks Steve! You never disappoint. 


Farm Life 

Believe it or not, we are the only Fellows Program in the world that lives on a farm. I mean, I have no idea how we would entertain these kiddos without Tutti Fruitti and a horse escape!

The donkey almost knocked on our front door!


SAM and EGGS

Several Fellows woke up extra early to help serve at the annual Sam and Eggs Breakfast. Some of our past Fellows were in attendance as financial contributors! What!!!!


Drew Holcomb and all our Neighbors Came to Town

It was very kind of Drew Holcomb to come to town so that everyone in Winston-Salem could have a chance to come together and catch up with each other. 


Ned Voluntarily Goes Under the Knife

Ned went under the knife on Thursday to address a nagging hernia in his neck. The surgery was successful. Praying for a swift recovery. 

Ned honestly feels great. And LOOKS great with his new turtleneck. 

The best news is that his voice is totally shot, so the rest of us don't have to listen to him!

Hoping it returns by the weekend as he is scheduled to give two talks!


COVID rears its Ugly Head

We are not out of the woods yet. Poor Callie and Lucy tested positive for Covid. Erg. Callie Is on the mend and Lucy is asymptomatic, praise the Lord.

April 2025

April 2025 Update It's our last full month with the Fellows from the class of 2024-2025, and it was a full one! We celebrated as several Fellows received job offers to stay in Winston Salem. A couple are still looking, but we are crossing our fingers that all nine will remain here next year.  Bryn and Dean Got Married! Well, they actually tied the knot back in February but we forgot to mention them in the last update! Bryn and Dean actually met walking down the aisle together for AJ and Bailey's wedding a few years ago. Fortunately for us, they are still in Winston Salem. We had a wonderful time celebrating them and enjoying a reunion of sorts with folks from several Fellows classes.  Ecuador Video! The very talented Jed put together a short video to capture part of our time in Ecuador. We couldn't possibly show everything, but please check it out!   Leader Lunches We had another stellar lineup this month! A fun fact: every speaker was either a current or former employers...

Ecuador: Days 5 and 6

  Ecuador: Days 5 and 6 Day 5! Started off the day by taking our friends from El Reypin to the park for a field trip. After a delightful drive, we hopped off the bus and circled up in the sunshine to play some games. There were smiles all around as we laughed, ran, jumped, sang, and danced with our buddies! This was truly one of our favorite days playing with our new friends. Kevin was the star in one of our games. He was asked to test his athletic abilities by running around with a bucket tied to his back while being chased by 10 children. He was no match, and every single one of them threw a ball in the bucket. Next time, Kevin! We finished off our park day with a yummy hotdog topped with mayo, onions, tomatoes, and potato chips.   Afterwards, we journeyed to the center of the Earth. That's right! The Equator. Zero degrees latitude didn't hold anything on this peculiar group of individuals. The Fellows not only survived but looked fly doing it. And that is really all th...

May 2025

May 2025  Above, you'll see how it started versus how it ended. May has been a bittersweet month as we officially wrapped up the ninth class of Winston-Salem Fellows. What a year it has been—full of growth, laughter, challenges, and transformation. Truly, an incredible year worth celebrating! World Relief Race Earlier this spring, the Fellows were deeply impacted by our time with Jon Musser as we learned about the incredible work World Relief is doing here in the Triad. So when they heard that River Oaks Community Church was hosting a 5K to benefit World Relief, they were all in. And apparently, they brought their A-game—Steve and Ellie both placed in their divisions! Leader Lunches Our final two Leader Lunches were spent with two remarkable individuals. First, we heard from Charlie Barham of Cassia Capital, followed by a meaningful conversation with Amy Carlan, Associate Pastor at First Presbyterian. Classes We wrapped up the year with two of our longest classes. First, Gospel-Cen...
