“When I first met Ron and Kylie, it was hard to know what to say. I remember standing in what used to be their master bedroom, while they shared their story, and all I could think to say in response was, ‘Do you mind if I just pray?’

I didn’t know how to bring hope into their lives, but I knew the Lord did. I also didn’t know that we would become part of the answer to that prayer. In the months since, it has been such an honor to journey with Ron & Kylie. To walk with them, laugh with them, cry with them - to truly carry their story in one of the hardest moments of their lives, and to say definitively that this is not the end. There is more to this story. God is not done writing it yet.

There is no greater joy than getting to provide that hope, especially because through the whole process they have become more than just clients, but dear friends. I feel immensely privileged to be part of a team committed to restoring and re-building not just homes, but the people who live in them, and I hope and pray that with each home we finish that the hearts of those living in it would be equally as restored, refreshed and renewed.”

“A few months ago, I had the opportunity to step into one of the most painful chapters of a woman’s life. Judith lost everything in the devastation from Hurricane Helene—her home, all of her belongings, and her sense of security. Walking into what was left of her house, you could feel the weight of that loss. But even more than that, we were stepping into her story—into her grief, her resilience.

Over time, as we’ve begun rebuilding her home, we also started to build a friendship. Through prayer, shared stories, laughter, and just showing up day after day, I’ve gotten to know Judith—her strength, her heart—and had the opportunity to remind her that she is not forgotten.

One of the biggest turning points was lifting her house and laying a brand new foundation—physically and symbolically. It was a powerful reminder that even after everything falls apart, God is in the business of rebuilding. Not just structures, but lives. Not just homes, but hearts.

The progress has been amazing, but more than anything, it’s been a story of hope—of watching the love of Jesus move through people, through hands that serve, and through a community that refuses to let someone walk through tragedy alone. Jesus always meets us in the rubble, and He rebuilds with love.”

“When I first met Chris and Angela, I was left speechless after hearing about their terrifying evacuation. Angela shared how their kids hadn’t even been able to step foot in their backyard again and weren’t sure if they ever would.

Over the winter, I was able to work on their once-gorgeous backyard, regrading the landscape and installing a retaining wall, while also containing the large stream that now runs down toward their home. I felt honored to play a small role in the restoration of their home, bringing beauty to their backyard again.

Now that it’s warmed up, the grass is finally starting to sprout. Just recently, Angela told me that the last time they stopped by, the kids began to play in the backyard, jumping on the trampoline and playing in the creek. Hearing that nearly brought me to tears. Not only was new life beginning, but something lost was also being restored.

Joining them on their journey has been an honor and a blessing in my life. What a joy it is to be part of a team dedicated to rebuilding the High Country and beyond.”

“The things that have meant the most to me in this job have been fellowship with the crew and serving alongside some amazing volunteers.

I’m thankful for a team committed to bringing Christ into construction—which is not normally the most Godly environment—and being aware of His presence.

I also can’t say enough about the volunteers that we’ve been blessed to work with—people who left their busy lives and made time to show Gods love by helping others. You never know what you might run into on a job site, but they all come and get straight to work! One group actually helped pull me up out of one of my own spiritual battles.

I relate and have empathy with most of the people whose homes I have had the privilege of working on. I grew up in poverty in a coastal town where it was pretty common to get hit by hurricanes. I understand the power of hope, and it’s such an awesome privilege to be bringing Christ into these homes.

I love my job and the men and women I work with. This group is giving it all to get families back into their homes. We are all dedicated to our mission, and it’s the most gratifying job I’ve ever had. I thank Jesus for sending me to them!”

“I joined the Kingdom Overflow team after Hurricane Helene. Quickly, I came to know that the people who work here have hearts drastically bent toward people and eyes focused on the Lord.

They willingly walk with people in the midst of trial and tragedy. Here, it’s not work; it’s serving. It’s not a job site; it’s a home and a family. It’s restoration. It’s the obvious restoring of homes but—more importantly—restoring safety, hope, and a knowledge that each homeowner matters deeply to our Creator.

It’s an honor to serve alongside these men and women and to be able to support them as they go out and serve local families!”

“For centuries, Christians were the innovators and culture setters. In my lifetime, it seems that the church has ceded this ground, isolating and insulating from society and surrendering that ground to the enemy.

But I think things are changing, and I’m proud to be part of that change alongside the rest of the team here at Kingdom Overflow. It’s a huge joy to see the church mobilized and to be part of a team bringing the hope of the gospel of Jesus along with practical help in peoples’ time of greatest need.”

“I feel deeply called to disciple and invest in others. My heart is to walk alongside those around me—sharing life with them and encouraging them to step fully into who the Lord has created them to be. This position with Kingdom Overflow allows me to live that out by spending intentional time with our Project Managers: walking with them, praying with them, and being present in their journeys. It’s both my responsibility and my joy to ensure they feel seen, heard, cared for, and most importantly, covered in prayer.

This ministry also allows me to hear stories and testimonies from people of all backgrounds and life situations—giving me the opportunity to pray over their unique experiences and circumstances. It’s a true privilege to stand in the gap for others and be someone who can reflect the heart of Christ.”
