Update Week of Nov 7


"Short" Week
It was a short and not short week for the Fellows. We took a Halloween hiatus from Round Table and did not have classes this week...on the other hand we attended the Micah 6:8 National Conference Thursday through Sunday!

Leader Lunch with Phillip Summers
Phillip Summers never goes half way. Not only did he bike to his own Leader Lunch but he brought handouts, stickers, decals, and a story! 

Can we all just agree that Phillip is amazing! Thanks friend for all you do in the community. 

Micah 6:8 National Conference

Fellows from around the country converged on the suburbs of Oxford, North Carolina for a weekend of fun, learning and connecting. Here the Fellows are getting caffeined up for the morning session.


The two keynote speakers were Eric Ha (not pictured). He is the Chief Administrative Officer for International Justice Mission. The other speaker (pictured) was Dr. Luke Bobo from Arrabon and formerly from Made To Flourish. They were both great. I particularly enjoyed Dr. Bobo. 


Hef held court during meal time as always. 


The Fellows were fired up to be there (and also for their Cookout run!)

Ultimate

Because there were so many groups this year, Winston-Salem teamed up with Greensboro for the ultimate tournament. We lost to a stout team from DC. Boo.

Emi is getting even more open than she already is. 


We thoroughly enjoy our friends to the slightly east!

September 2025

  September 2025 It’s hard to believe, but this year marks the tenth class of Winston-Salem Fellows! We can’t wait for you to meet them. The first month has already been full and exciting, and we can’t wait to share some highlights with you. Plus, if you read all the way to the end, you’ll get a special update on what the very first class of Winston-Salem Fellows is up to today!

Thanks to Jed’s help, that dream is becoming a reality and we can’t wait to share the finished product with you!

October 2025

October 2025 The Carolina Classic Fair seems to usher in fall here in Winston-Salem. We are now in the full swing of our Fellow's schedule. We've celebrated birthdays, enjoyed the beautiful weather, and more!  Happy Birthday Alana! Sweet Alana is so easy to celebrate! Dharma and Gracie, from the class of '24, threw Alana a party and planned an early morning hike for our girl that loves the great outdoors! Round Table We've continued to be hosted by some incredible alumni and have done a terrible job of taking pictures. Above, Kevin was leading us in worship and Jed (dressed as a pirate) was capturing footage for our video. Thank you to all our hosts this month: Ava, Ellie, Eliza, and Hardy; Molly and Lucy; Drew, Kevin, and Jed; Steve and Christy!  Leader Lunch We are so honored and humbled by the men and women who take the time to invest in the Fellows year after year and share their stories.

May 2026

The Winston-Salem Fellows class of 2025–2026 has officially graduated! We had a wonderful end to the year celebrating all that this class and our year together.  As we close out another incredible year, be sure to check out an update on the Fellows class of 2023–2024 below. We’re excited to share what they’ve been doing since graduation and how they continue to make an impact in Winston-Salem and beyond. Happy Birthday, William! William’s birthday is actually in August, but summer birthdays are always a surprise celebration around here. Although, since we celebrated at the last Round Table, I’m not sure it was much of a surprise after all.  For the guy who can’t have peanuts and doesn’t like most chocolate, birthday cake ice cream saved the day!   Leader Lunch Our last Leader Lunch of the year was with Charlie Barham at Cassia Capital. While Charlie has an  impressive résumé, much of our conversation centered on his passion for Jesus and his leadership with Bible Stu...
