June 20th-25th This week in Nashville God moved in a way that is so brilliant that it can only be attributed to a God as beautiful as ours. A wonderful group from Ochechobee Florida arrived on June 20th and stayed in a Nashville suburb, Smyrna.

The final night of the trip, we asked the team to share some memorable stories and reflections. Amy shares how her mission trip to Nashville impacted her:   God is limitless unlike I’ve ever imagined. I came into the week wanting to serve and I knew I would have the chance but I didn’t know what chances God would give me to grow.
