UPDATE Week of August 12

WOW!

Andrew surprised all of us and popped the question last week to an ecstatic Abby. She said YES!!! So did the rest of us! So excited for you two

Congrats to Andrew Miller and Abby Holdsworth. What happy news to see you two taking the next step in your relationship!


WE ARE GETTING CLOSE

The New Fellows are rolling in August 21st! That's 9 days y'all!

I wish I could say that we have all our slots filled in terms of Host Families, Jobs, and Mentors, but we still have a little ways to go. 

OUR BIGGEST NEED is HOST FAMILIES!

Have you ever wanted to be an answered prayer? Well, you can be one. Contact winstonsalemfellows@gmail.com and volunteer to be a Host Family this year!

We also are looking for Mentors for our 2019-20 Class. Maybe this is your year to be a Mentor? If interested, please contact us at winstonsalemfellows@gmail.com

THANKS!


GIVE!

We have just transitioned to our 2019-20 budget (which is $172,000). Over half of that is raised by Fellows tuition and church sponsorships - but we need you all to help make up the balance!

Would you consider joining the team this year?

Checks can be sent to 
Winston-Salem Fellows
PO BOX 20514
Winston-Salem, NC 27120

Or give online

Or consider giving online and hitting the Monthly Button my personal favorite to give. 

Whatever way you give - we appreciate it! There are many things about this upcoming year that you will want to be a part of. A great way to be a part is by giving your support.
