Camille Stogner

"I am thankful for my family and this program." Camille Stogner

Christina Sandstedt

Sean Henderson

 "Everything haha. Life. Breath. Food. Friends. Nature. Family. Jesus." Sean Henderson

Alex Loy

"I am thankful for a home in Tennessee with family and friends who love me so well. What has made me extra thankful this year is returning from Thanksgiving break to a family (shoutout to the Sotos) and friends that have made Winston-Salem feel just as much like a home to me. Y’all are awesome. Also, I am really thankful for coffee." Alex Loy 

Reese Schaffner

 "New friends and community." Reese Schaffner

Rahel Tafese

 "I'm thankful for my aunt who is coming to the US in two weeks and the Winston-Salem Fellows." Rahel Tafese

Campbell Anderson

 "1. The support and love of my family. 2. The opportunity to do the WS Fellow. 3. (Most important) God's faithfulness to me when I am not faithful to him." Campbell Anderson

Julia Lovett

 "Thankful for friendships - new and old, the opportunity to explore NC mountains and laughter, lots and lots of laughter!" Julia Lovett

Jessika Kok

 "I am thankful for North Carolina, as it may truly be the prettiest state I've ever lived in. I'm also thankful for the wisdom of the old and the yearning for wisdom that characterizes each fellow in this community of believers." Jessica Kok

THANKSGIVING

I am thankful to be entrusted with the leadership of this program. It could not be done without the help of dozens upon dozens of volunteers. They make this thing work. 

All I try to do is be a blessing. And as my friend Nigel told me: you can't be a blessing unless you are a blessing. Which is true: I am blessed beyond measure.

I am also thankful for this big, crazy family that spent the holiday with us!


THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR
