UPDATE Week of July 10


Meghan Beck is now Meghan Walker!

Weddings and White Coats!

We had some big happenings over the weekend. Meghan Beck (Class of '22) got married to college sweetheart (and basically our fourteenth Fellow for all the times he visited!) Ross Walker. The wedding and after party could not have been more hype. 


Meanwhile Lucy Lawrence donned her White Coat on Saturday morning as she begins her journey at Wake Forest Medical School. 


In other news, Fellows alums are moving out and moving in all around town. I received word yesterday that Christina Sandstedt (year 1 Fellow) ran into Riley Burress (year 4 Fellow)mat church in Washington DC over the weekend. 

Small world!
Speaking of small world. Here is Ned with Dr. Miranda Orr, professor and scientist studying Alzheimers who is from Saco, Montana (population 197). The night before in the same room I had dinner with Rocky Erickson, also from Saco, Montana! 



The Fourth

the Ericksons went on their annual trek to Columbus, Ohio for the 4th of July. The highlight, other than a power point party (so fun!) was getting to be some of the official judges for the floats in the parade!


The Ericksons actually made it back to Winston for the fireworks here! Whew! What a weekend!

A Visit From Patrick


Speaking of highlights! Ned had the chance to go for a walk with Year 2 Fellow, Patrick McCarthy. He is doing well in Louisville, Kentucky where he is teaching and preparing for Law School. 

A BIG Welcome to Clara!


Clara Whitman is a recent graduate from University of Virginia and now our most recent Fellow!

Our prayers are answered. Clara is incredible. Can't wait to introduce you all to her. Welcome!


Recruiting Update

speaking of prayers, keep them coming! We would love two more females for next year's class, which open the door to let in another male! Let's pray it into existence team! It's not too late. 

If someone comes to mind - please connect us. It never hurts to at least have a conversation. You can contact Ned via text (336) 413-4918


Giving Update

You may be receiving or have already received some emails about financially supporting the Fellows. It is because we REALLY NEED your support. 

Don't rest on the idea that someone else is going to do it. YOU BE THAT SOMEONE!

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.

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...
