UPDATE Week of September 11

These Fellows shine so bright

Labor Day Round Table

We invited Fellows Alums to join us for a special Labor Day Potluck Fellows Round Table


It was so fun to see 40 plus folks join us for a great night of laughter and story


The dogs were particularly happy


The festivities went well into the evening.

A tradition that is growing every year!

Leader Lunch

We had THE BEST time with John Bost in his cabin in Clemmons. John as usual brought his rare gift of storytelling. A particular highlight this year was his wife LaDonna. She dropped by then went on to steal the show! What a dynamic duo. Thank you John!

Salem tour

Ginny Tobiason, the Pastor at Home Moravian Church and one of the most well researched archivists of Salem history, gave us a great morning of sharing the stories behind the sights of Salem.

I need to record her and let everybody hear what she has to say. 



We stand on the prayers of many many people. We were called here to continue the chain for generations to come...

Palmer's Bday

Palmer's Bday was Saturday! The Fellows had a fun time taking him out to the Latino Festival and then back to the house for a game night!

Latino Festival

The Latino Festival is such a fiesta!


It sticks to you


Lia is a major celebrity there! It was so fun for me to be the husband of such a famous person.

Bible Study

I dropped by church on Sunday to see Marley Cait leading a Bible Study with gals.


Rope Swing

The Fellows decided to construct a rope swing at Crossnore!



It's in process.

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...
