This video is awesome if you haven't watched it! It tells about the many different ways to volunteer with Dig-In. After the harvest and other work is done, anyone can pick up free produce on Wednesdays. Not only is this a win for your table and grocery budget, but it's also an opportunity for outreach, evangelism, and to help put food on your neighbor's table. When you pick up a box for your family, grab one, two, or maybe more for your friends and neighbors as well. Taking them food is a way of sharing God's love and an opportunity to share your story of how the Lord has blessed you.

That hole needs patching in your Sheetrock. That hill needs weed eating. Those walls could use a fresh coat of paint. Can’t clean those cobwebs in your house anymore. Let us know so we can help! Many of us find ourselves needing help with home projects and Higgins is offering to help with these needs through “Construction Love” and simply just helping to clean your house or hang a picture. There will be HOME PROJECT BOXES placed in the Sanctuary and Family Life Center. When you have a need, fill out the card provided with your contact information and a brief description of the project and place it into the box. Someone will reach out to you. Heads up Higgins family! We’ll be asking for volunteers as needs arise. This will be an opportunity to be the hands and feet of Christ. Come fellowship, and share your gifts to bless others. Many thanks! Donna Woodie We at Higgins have a wonderful opportunity to support a missionary here in the United States that grew up just down the road in Gastonia. He played football with Cole Shehan at Wingate University. Jaheim did not know Christ at that time. After graduation, he transferred to Stephen F. Austin State University in Texas. It was there that he met a young man who changed his life. I'll stop at that and let him tell you his story himself in the video linked below. After completing his time in Texas, Jaheim joined Campus Outreach and moved to the Chicago area where he disciples to students, bringing them to Christ. He then teaches these students how to disciple to other students. As part of Campus Outreach, he is responsible for raising funds to cover his work. The funds go directly to Campus Outreach under Jaheim's name. Due to his background, he does not have the support of a faith family backing him. He remembered his Christian friends from the universities he attended and reached out to them, in hopes of finding faith families to connect with that would help to support him through prayers and financial assistance. After reaching out to Cole, Cole contacted Amy in hopes of his home church of Higgins helping to support Jaheim. Amy was inspired by his story, as I'm sure you will be also. We ask that above all, you will keep Jaheim and his work in your prayers. If you feel called to help him financially there is a link below where you can send support in his name. This can be a one-time or monthly donation. For those of you who have young people in your life, or know of others that might be inspired by his story, please share this link to his video. One never knows when a simple gesture could change someone's life forever. Higgins Missions Committee is partnering with High Country Caregivers (HCC) in a few exciting ways we will be sharing with you soon. HCC is a non-profit that offers comprehensive whole-family care to empower kinship caregivers who take on the responsibility of caring for, or raising, the child of a relative or close friend. Check out the link below to watch two excellent videos (short) showing what this organization does, what it has meant to some of their clients, and the impact HCC had on the life of one of the children. Watch for opportunities coming soon on how you can get involved in helping out caregivers and their families in our area.  |

Here at Higgins, we are actively involved in mission work within the community and around the world. Our three-fold focus is on sharing the gospel, serving to meet the needs of others, and building connections. There are many ways you can get involved. Some opportunities may tug at your heart to get involved by participating in a project. Other times, you may feel you could better serve the mission through your prayers or a donation. All levels of involvement are important and very much needed. Our hope is that we will see you out in the field soon, involved in one or more of the upcoming opportunities. Archives
