OCM Mission Trip: Please keep this team of twelve AU students led by Amber LeMaster (The Well) and Nate Ediger (Newman) in prayer as they serve in Lake Lure, North Carolina this week. They are serving residents that have faced difficulties after Hurricane Helene caused major flooding in 2024. OCM has partnered with Praying Pelican Missions. Here is a link to the trip travel journal with PPM: https://www.ppm.org/mission-trip-journals/21392

Praise God for the 68 student-athletes with Fellowship of Christian Athletes at Ashland University who spent the last week serving in Lancaster, South Carolina! From leading youth camps and worship to helping with building projects and providing food, these students faithfully used their gifts to serve others at the start of their spring break. We are grateful for the leadership of Rev. Joe Maggelet, Austin Brenner, Grace Miller and several community members that assisted with transportation.

Please keep them in your prayers as they travel home on Sunday!
