    Build Day with Shiloh Baptist Church

    In October, Find Your Rest Ministries hosted a build day with a mission group from Shiloh Baptist Church in Ocoee, Tennessee. We are beyond thankful to the volunteers who worked hard to construct three bunk beds. It was a joy to hear the group’s excitement about our ministry and their plan to take our mission home to Tennessee. Thank you, Shiloh Baptist Church!

    Build Day with the Seckman High School Boys Varsity Basketball Team

    We were so excited to host a build day with the Seckman High School Boys Varsity Basketball Team on June 3rd. Head coach, Coach Carroll, encourages his players on and off the court. He shared with us that he wants the boys to know there is much more to life than just basketball, and a big priority for him is encouraging them to give back to the community. Thank you to this amazing team and their coach for helping us prep and build bunk beds for families in need. We appreciate all your hard work!

    Build Day with CBC of Pevely

    On June 1st, we hosted a build day with Community Bible Church of Pevely. We were able to build eight bunk beds thanks to the hard work of the volunteers. This is a record amount of beds for us in a single day! Dozens of church members worked in stations to cut and stain the wood, assemble the bunk beds, and annotate the Bibles we deliver to the families. This was an awesome day filled with service and fellowship. Thank you to everyone who came out to help!

    Elkhart Christian Academy volunteered with Find Your Rest on March 27. As a group of all seniors, this group participated in a build day with Find Your Rest for their senior trip.

    Build Day with Lake Mead Christian Academy

    On March 1, Lake Mead Christian Academy traveled from Henderson, Nevada, to Pevely, Missouri, to participate in a Find Your Rest build day. This group purchased enough lumber to build one bunk bed for the community, and they spent most of the day building. To optimize time and resources, Lake Mead Christian Academy split into groups to perform different tasks, such as sawing, measuring, and sanding. This group of volunteers did not stop there. After the group finished building beds, they then helped clean the partnering church of Community Bible Church of Pevely. Then, they walked throughout the Pevely community, evangelizing from door to door. Because of their willingness and…

    Build Days with Calvary Bible Church and FishHawk Fellowship Church

    “You don’t need to be a professional carpenter to build bunk beds with Find Your Rest; you simply need a willing heart to serve the Lord,” said co-founder of Find Your Rest Nik Maxwell, as he explained the plan for the mission work that would occur over the next three days. On Monday, June 15, two groups of volunteers arrived at Community Bible Church of Pevely (a partnering church of Find Your Rest) for their mission trip with SCORE International Ministries. Calvary Bible Church from Kalamazoo, Michigan, and FishHawk Fellowship Church from Lithia, Florida, stayed Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Combined, there was a total of 48 volunteers ready to build…

    First Build Day with Victory Christian Academy

    On May 26, Find Your Rest had its first build day with Victory Christian Academy (VCA), which aimed to prepare the ministry for its upcoming mission trip to Harlan, KY. VCA brought its youth group–a group of about 15–who were a tremendous help to Find Your Rest’s bunk bed initiative. The volunteers divided into groups to preform relatively simple tasks that would eventually lead to the completion of various bunk bed parts. As pictured below, these tasks included cutting wood, drilling pieces together, and sanding the imperfections. The parts built during this build day will be assembled into the homes of families in the future, providing Find Your Rest with…
