Mountain Ministry has become one of the focuses of missions work for them, and we are so grateful! Over the last 5 years, they have come alongside us with service projects, trail maintenance, and local community events. Through the work of LIFT, our Thrift and Coffee Shop has been transformed into a cozy and welcoming space that is versatile enough to also host our Sunday morning worship services and many other events, which has allowed our local church to grow and thrive. They have been a true blessing to our ministry and community!

Understanding that "eternity is forever" encourages us to live deliberately. Our daily choices can reflect God's love and goodness, shaping not only our lives but also impacting those around us. We can prioritize moments of connection, kindness, and service—actions that resonate into eternity.

I am willing to bet there are spiritually, physically and emotionally weary people in your community that you can help or encourage in the grocery store, on the roadside or walking down your street. Step out in faith and lend a helping hand. Who knows how God will use your brief encounter to impact someone's life for eternity!
