INTENTIONALITY, CHANGING LIVES APPALACHIAN MINISTRIES SERVED 375 CHILDREN THIS SUMMER, FOCUSED ON BEING INTENTIONAL From the start, this summer was different. Local families and college students alike were coming off of a year of lockdowns, unrest, health crises, and varying degrees of social isolation. That plus other experiences with Appalachian Ministries (AM) in the past led the AM director, Caitlyn Howell, to revamp this summer’s AM schedule. Before, the AM summer team (approximately a dozen Cumberlands students, plus a few Campus Ministries staff members) spent a whole week visiting one local site every day for a few hours. The next week, the team visited a different site, and so on. While the system has merits, Caitlyn realized this schedule meant that local children got to see the AM team for one really great week – and then didn’t see them again until fall. Yet relationships flourish with consistency, and trust takes time to build. So, this year,
AM spent the bulk of the summer visiting all four local sites once a week. That way, kids didn’t have to wait a month or two before seeing AM again; they knew the nice college students would be back next week to play with them, teach them about Jesus, and, of course, give them snacks. “While no strategy is perfect, I am very happy and thankful for how the change has made a positive impact,” said Caitlyn. “Going to the sites once a week proved to be much more intentional and provide ways to deepen relationships with the children.” Not only did the children experience the difference that extra intentionality brought, but the college students were also impacted. For instance, one intentional decision made by Campus Ministries staff was to have the AM team meet together every day before Story continued on page 2
leaving for site to discuss the Bible passage they had read that morning. This daily time to check in with fellow Believers and share what God had taught them in His Word that morning was very meaningful to Channing Baker, a Williamsburg native. “We were held accountable to read Scripture every single day, and that was a blessing,” she said. “Having one-on-one time with God is important, but sharing that with others is important as well. We are the body of Christ! The Lord really opened my eyes to what the Church is supposed to look like: Believers coming together and growing in their faith together!”
“The Lord really opened my eyes to what the Church is supposed to look like.” Channing Baker
Junior, AM SummerTeam In addition to visiting local children at four different sites, the AM team traveled to Canadatown in Kentucky, Piedmont Church in Georgia, and Beaver Dam Baptist Church in Tennessee. The team of 15 served approximately 375 children across all seven sites over a two-month period. It was a summer packed with games, snacks, music and dancing, Bible stories, conversation,

rainy-day plans, flexibility, fun, and perseverance. Some days, the team felt fresh and ready to go. Others days, it took extra positivity and prayer to continue being as intentional as they wanted with the children. “One of the things I did to be intentional with the kids was to really go all-out the best I could every single day,” said Jacob Lowery, a junior from East Bernstadt. “Some kids don’t get to do stuff like this at all except with us, so I tried to put forward 110 percent in everything I did. Just having the mentality of ‘see a need, fill a need’ and stepping in to do whatever job needs done -– it is hard sometimes, but it’s worth it.” The theme this summer was “Heroes of the Faith.” Everything the team did during their time with the kids was centered on this theme, and, though Campus Ministries staff coordinated logistics for the summer and helped the students whenever they needed it, the students took on the bulk of creating the lesson plans. They found music that aligned with the summer’s theme and choreographed a dance to it. They studied Bible stories about Biblical heroes and wrote and taught lesson plans from them. During “split time,” when the group split into an all-boy group and an all-girl group to discuss being a Man of God or being a Daughter of the King, students planned activities and crafts that added onto that day’s Bible story while fitting within the theme of Biblical manhood or Biblical womanhood. A whole summer’s worth of practice creating lessons and leading children boosted the students’ confidence significantly. Each time they prepared a new week of material, they were better at it than the week before. Caitlyn saw the growing confidence in the students and was thankful. That had been one of her goals for them. “My driving questions were, how can we empower these students to give them confidence? How can we help them believe in themselves when they’re out in a world that doesn’t mind trampling on them? How can we get them out from behind their screens to get creative, think through solutions, and network with other people?” Caitlyn said. “Watching them grow in their faith and in their confidence in leadership this summer was amazing. This team was so special. I learned a great deal from them.” It costs approximately $3,000 for Appalachian Ministries to host a full summer of service, not including stipends for the college students who give up summer jobs to volunteer with AM. The team is extremely grateful for the donors who make AM’s summer ministry possible. “It’s encouraging to know that people believe in you and your ministry,” said Jacob. “I’m truly thankful for their funding because it allows us to have so many opportunities to go out to different areas and make an impact, and also allows us to grow the AM ministry! I am very grateful for everyone who gives to this. It makes a difference.”

Generous donations allowed Mountain Outreach (MO) to host two “Doin’ Good” food giveaways this summer. The food benefited hundreds of people in the community. To help ensure the events were the most effective, MO partnered with local churches to better pinpoint the families who needed the food the most. But the event’s impact went beyond supplying much-needed food to hungry families. It also provided an opportunity for friendly human interaction, which, for many families, was sparse over the past year and a half. “We’re blessed that we had the funding it took to purchase all this food. Grocery costs can add up quick. It’s great being able to take some of that burden off local families’ shoulders,” said Rocky Brown, director of MO. The MO staff packaged the meals, which volunteers from local churches then distributed to community members within their respective areas. Meal boxes supplied enough food for five to six individuals to have breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The packages
disbursed in May included two boxes of Pop Tarts, one box of pancake mix, and a bottle of syrup for breakfasts; a pack of hot dogs, a pack of buns, and two cans of chili for lunches; and two boxes of spaghetti and two cans of pasta sauce for dinners. In July, MO switched the lunch menu to beef stew, rice, and beans, so that all food delivered was non-perishable. The local IGA assisted in procuring the food, and W.D. Bryant in Williamsburg donated 500 bags to package the meals. “Partnering with MO was a blessing,” said Jordan Infield, worship minister at Cornerstone Community Church in Williamsburg, who volunteered at both Doin’ Good events. “We got to reconnect with the people who live in the apartments behind our church and whom we’ve been meeting with for years. They really appreciated the food and, even more so, being able to reconnect with people.” In total, 175 meal boxes were delivered in May, and 300 were delivered in June. Eight local churches partnered with MO.

THE LIFE OF A TIE
DONATIONS GIVE LOCAL CHILDREN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN LIFE SKILL
It’s hard to understand what a Godly man or Godly woman looks like when your own parents aren’t there to show you. Many children Appalachian Ministries (AM) serves are growing up in homes that are missing one or both parents, forcing grandparents or other relatives to step in. This year, AM included “split time” in their daily curriculum for the boys and girls to split up and dive deeper into what it means to be a daughter of the King or a man of God. And what is one of the most classic manhood skills? Tying a tie, of course. AM wanted to give the boys a tie of their own, but ties aren’t cheap. So, AM sent out a call to the community for anyone to donate ties they weren’t using, and, in less than a week, 300 ties came in. The tie drive was, according to the AM director, Caitlyn Howell, “the most random thing we did to save money.” But it turned into so much more. First of all, several college guys on the AM team didn’t know how to tie a tie, so they got to learn! Secondly, approximately 50 young boys learned this valuable life skill. Unexpectedly, the men who donated ties – many of whom were retirees – felt a deeper meaning behind

giving their ties away. It was like they were passing a baton, handing the memories and big moments they’d had while wearing those ties to the young boys who would wear them next. The symbolism was probably lost on the boys, but they had fun tying the ties! A few were overwhelmed with keeping track of the steps, but their faces lit up when the college guys stepped in and helped guide them. One rambunctious boy bounced up to Howell after he’d finished tying and said, “Look! I’m ready for work!” With some of the children’s families relying solely on federal checks for financial support, it was striking to see how a simple thing like a tie could help gear the boys’ minds toward working a regular job. Any step toward a financially stable future is a step in the right direction. AM donated the leftover ties to Pete’s Closet, a Cumberlands service that provides essential items to college students who don’t have the finances to purchase them. Up to 300 boys and young men will benefit from the community’s donations.

“I KNEW I WANTED TO BE THAT PERSON ”
EDUCATION MAJOR WINS BROOME SCHOLARSHIP The Mavis F. Broome Memorial Scholarship is helping Hailey Richardson, ’22, pay for her education degree so she can impact schoolchildren with special needs. Hailey, who is from Williamsburg, Kentucky, is a middle school education major with emphases in special education and social studies. She is a member of the Education Club and the JV softball team. “I chose to pursue education because I’ve had several educators who truly impacted my life for the better. Once I saw their impact, I knew I wanted to be that person for others,” Hailey said. “After shadowing a special education class and hearing how natural it was for some of the kids to speak derogatorily about themselves, I decided to add a special education emphasis. I want to help, guide, and encourage these students.” The Mavis F. Broome Memorial Scholarship was established in 2017 by the family of the late Mavis Broome, a beloved wife, mother, and teacher. She taught elementary and special education in McCreary County for 27 years and taught evening special education courses at University of the Cumberlands (then Cumberland College) for approximately 10 of those years, sometimes teaching on weekends. Her husband, Dr. John Broome, taught at Cumberlands from 1966 – 1999 and continues to live in Williamsburg. Their three daughters, who all work at the University, graduated from Cumberlands and married fellow Cumberlands alumni. The scholarship is awarded annually to a junior or senior at Cumberlands studying special education who hails from Whitley, McCreary, Knox, Laurel, or Bell County.

MEET OUR STUDENTS
JOHN OWENS CHRISTIAN STUDIES & BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION, ’21 Generosity from donors not only enable community service events, they also keep our on-campus ministries alive. Plugging into Band of Brothers (men’s ministry) and the campus worship team placed John Owens in the environment he needed for God to change him. He used to live a life of constant people-pleasing and caring what others thought of him more than what God wanted him to do. Not anymore. “I was hesitant to share my faith, and I put up a front because I wanted to please those around me. It left me empty,” he said. “But God, being rich in mercy, revealed to me these sins through mentors speaking into me, my brothers in Christ challenging me, His word, and prayer. God has changed me and allowed me to put those sins to death by the blood of the Cross.” God pruned and refined John through Band of Brothers, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, worship team, and Godly mentorship. John and his wife, Cailee, ’21, have also led many Bible studies in their home. The experiences have humbled him, encouraged him, and given him a greater urge to share the Gospel and love others well. “Ministry is designed to turn brokenness into God’s glory,” John said. “Choosing Christ has changed my life, and I want the same for everyone else!”
TRISTAN GIBBS BIOLOGY, ’22 Appalachian Ministries (AM) only exists thanks to (1) the Lord, (2) donors, and (3) willing students who serve in the program. Tristan Gibbs is a senior who views the people around her through a more gracious lens thanks to her experiences in AM. If there was a contest for Most Bubbly Personality on Campus, Tristan would probably win. That said, it’s no surprise she loves being around children, and they love being around her. She has served in AM since her sophomore year. As she’s built relationships with the kids who attend AM’s events, she has learned how rough some of their home lives are. “AM requires us to be steadfast,” she said. “We try to provide consistency that they might not be getting at home.” God has taught Tristan a lot through AM. In addition to better teamwork with fellow students and thinking on her feet, God also helped Tristan see her inner struggle with judging others who aren’t like her. She’s since repented from her partiality. “God desires every heart,” she said. “He has used some hard conversations to help me love people like He does.” On campus and in the community, she is learning to do just that.
KARSON CHESNUT ELEMENTARY EDUCATION, ’23 Karson is a junior at University of the Cumberlands. She grew up in London, Kentucky, a very small town not far from Williamsburg. “It’s one of those towns where everyone knows everyone,” she said. “Although that can be aggravating at times, it is nice to have such a sense of community.” From her first tour at Cumberlands, she fell in love with the campus and wanted to attend. She is an Elementary education major who has wanted to be a teacher since she was in elementary school. Her dream is to teach at the elementary school she attended. In her free time during the school year, she participates in Appalachian Ministries. Karson comes from a big family with many siblings, so her family’s finances can get spread thin at times, taking care of everyone. She believes scholarships are the only reason she has gotten as far as she has in school. “I wouldn’t be where I am today without such crucial financial assistance,” she said. “I hope that donors know how much they truly help students out.”
GARRETT BAILEY INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, CHRISTIAN STUDIES ’22 To Garrett, the biggest benefit of enrolling at Cumberlands has been the fact that he is surrounded by genuine Christians who not only believe in Christ but live out His word daily. Seeing the authentic community, worship, and service around campus convicted him to follow Christ in December 2020. “If it were not for the tuition reduction and my scholarships, I would not be at Cumberlands. Therefore, I would not be the believer in Christ that I am today,” he said. Garrett served in the Office of Campus ministries this summer as an intern through Immanuel Baptist Church. Following graduation, he is considering two different paths. Either he will pursue a graduate degree in cyber engineering through Cumberlands, or he will choose to complete a Journeyman program with the International Missions Board, then enroll in seminary and pursue full-time ministry. With his recent conversion to Christianity fresh in his mind, Garrett is especially thankful to those who made it possible for him to attend Cumberlands. He said, “To all donors who contribute to scholarships, please know that it does make an impact. Thank you for all your support!”
NEW HOME BUILT FOR FAMILY IN NEED
MOUNTAIN OUTREACH FUNDING PROVIDES NEW HOUSE FOR YOUNG LOCAL FAMILY When simply walking downstairs to do your family’s laundry presents a safety hazard, it’s time for a change. In this case, it isn’t just a change – it’s a whole new home. Thanks to the Lord’s provision and donors’ funding, Mountain Outreach (MO) was able to provide a brand-new home for Tyler and Amber Hall and their three young children. The family is overjoyed! (And the kiddos can’t wait for Mom and Dad to paint their rooms. Mallory wants pink, and Bryson wants green. Baby Benjamin hasn’t decided yet.) “I could probably cry about it. God is so good,” said Amber. “I wish I could personally thank everyone who made this possible. The Lord sees you. We are really, really thankful. Stuff like this is important. All good things come from the Lord. I truly believe that God sees Mountain Outreach, the donors who funded this home build, my family, everything. God sees this.” Renting a house was the only financially feasible option for the Halls before. But along with renting came a few difficult factors.

APPALACHIAN VOICE
For one thing, Amber knew in the back of her mind that a landlord can decide to ask their tenants to leave at any point, and the tenants can’t control that. Additionally, when there is a lack of ownership, there is a lack of control; a renter can’t make a house feel like their own as fully as they might like to, since the property isn’t theirs. Having a neighbor’s belongings in their basement, and the neighbor stopping by every now and then to remove an item or two, didn’t help Amber feel at home either. Besides, the staircase to the basement – where the laundry machines were – was extremely steep, making Amber worry for her safety, especially while she was pregnant. Now, the Halls won’t have to worry about those problems anymore. They have their very own home that was built with high standards and good materials to keep the family safe and reduce costs over the years. During construction, MO asked the family to decide several elements of the home as well, such as the flooring, siding, and roofing. Amber appreciated that. Before the house was even complete, it already felt like their own. Tyler’s mother had heard about Mountain Outreach’s annual home
build and pushed Tyler and Amber to apply. At first, the two of them were hesitant. They had been working on building their credit, but they figured it would be years before it would be high enough for a bank to okay them to pay a mortgage. Still, they picked up an application at their church. That same night at church, there was a revival. The pastor talked about challenging God, not in a fighting sense but in the sense of handing your biggest dreams to God and watching Him work. The Hall family took the sermon to heart. If they trusted God enough to hand Him their smaller dreams, they reasoned, why not their biggest one? They filled out the MO application.

Soon, Rocky Brown, director of MO, called Amber, and the family filled out additional paperwork and went through an interview process. Tyler’s parents got down on their knees to pray with the family regularly, that they would be chosen to receive the house. Early one morning, Rocky called and started giving Amber all kinds of information about the home build. “I just want you to know,” he said, “that you’re the family.” “We just knew it was going to happen,” Amber said. “Sometimes it was hard to have faith, but we just kept believing and putting our trust in the Lord.” Walking around the new house was a “wow” moment. The kids liked it too, immediately picking their rooms. One child asked why their furniture wasn’t already there. It was surreal. All good things come from God, and walking through their new home was very good.

SHARE THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

As decorations go up and temperatures go down, Mountain Outreach prepares for another holiday season. The holidays are a time of festivity and family, hope and merriment. For some families, however, the holidays represent a period of struggle and disappointment as stockings remain empty and tables stay barren. Each year, at the start of December, Mountain Outreach works to provide food, clothing, shoes, and household items to families so that children in need can wake up Christmas morning with gifts under the tree and food in the pantry. Your support makes it possible!
