UPDATE Week of January 30

 
Through highs and lows, it is great to be a Winston-Salem Fellow...

SWEET COMMUNITY
That was the theme this week...

Witness the last picture taken prior to Lucy finding out she was accepted into medical school...


We had decided to sing a song that was not in our songsheet, so we had to pull up the lyrics on our phones. When Lucy did, she saw that she had a notification from Wake Forest (which she assumed was bad news). She excused herself to go to the bathroom where she proceeded to not go to the bathroom but read her email. 


Praise took on a whole new meaning after that...



What a gift to get to celebrate with people at the very moment our prayers were answered!



It was time to celebrate! 

Congratulations Lucy! You are going to be a doctor!

Community also manifests itself in sweetness in the hard moments as well. 

On Wednesday, Emi was having some car difficulties. 


But we put our heads together, and got that Prius back on the road!


Praise God from whom all blessings flow!


CHILI NIGHT AT ROUND TABLE

Hef provided Round Table dinner for us on Monday. 

Her chili is fabulous...but her chocolate chip cookies are MAGICAL!

It was a great night of fellowship, fun, and mission trip preparation! Always a joy to be with the Turner family!


LEADER LUNCH WITH ELMS ALLEN

After a COVID break, Elms Allen rejoined the rotation of Leader speakers for the Fellows. What a story! What a man! We could have listened to his stories for hours. 


Which is why the Fellows lingered. 


Among the great treasures of Winston-Salem - you will find Elms Allen to be one of the greatest.

GREAT OUTDOORS

Speaking of great. I love that this area has some of the best hiking around. The fam went on a 10 miler to the top of Hanging Rock on Saturday. 


There were a couple frigid creek crossings.




Lia was not pleased


But the view was worth it.

RECRUITING UPDATE

 Crossing our fingers, but it looks like we may officially have our first Demon Deacon in the class of 2024!

Interviews are picking up. 

If you have a friend or loved one that you believe would be a great addition to the WS Fellows, please contact us ASAP.

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! Video Loading    For the past year, we’ve been dreaming about creating a new video to share the Fellows’ stories and highlight the impact of this program. 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...
