UPDATE Week of June 6

 

Winston-Salem Fellows Sustainability Campaign

Friends!

Through volunteering, mentoring, advocating, teaching and financially supporting - you are part of the legacy that has brought us through seven classes of Fellows. Now, we are inviting you to take part in making sure our next seven years are even more successful by becoming a Sustaining Partner. 

Our goal is to build a foundation of support that will ensure the Fellows Program continues for years to come. 

Most of our funding comes through tuition and church sponsorships. However, every year we need an additional $75,000 of local support to run our program. 

Sustaining Partners make an ongoing monthly or annual commitment that will help us broaden our base and strengthen our foundation for the future. We accept contributions of any amount, but recommend giving at a $25, $50, or $100 per month level. We understand that some can give more, and we will not refuse it! We also understand that some can give less, and we will not refuse that either! What we are seeking is to build a community of support we can rely on and that we can connect with continually.

Sustaining Partners will receive a custom Sustainer Coin!
(Designed by Fellow Alum, Bryn Lenkaitis)

Other perks include:
  • invitation to our Night of Blessing in the early Fall to meet our new Fellows
  • an invitation to our Night of Stories in the Spring to hear about our Mission Trip
  • our traditional photo card and Christmas card
  • a tax deduction
  • special correspondence and content just for our sustainers! 
Would you please pray about what level of commitment is best for you? 

We would love to have your help in reaching our goal of fully sustaining the Winston-Salem Fellows program for years to come! If you are interested, please click the link below.

On June 1, we hosted a re-invent the Fellows Night with Alums. A great evening of sharing, reflecting, and brainstorming


The weekend was bookended with Farms. In the evening we celebrated Lexi Edens marriage at Chas Edens' farm. 


In the morning, we participated in NCS Family Day at the Epperson Farm


We are still recruiting for next year, so please contact us if you know of any young twenty-somethings looking for a life-changing experience. 

Thanks!

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...
