Hello All! It’s been a while.

I appreciate all the prayers, and I thought I would give one final update.

First off, the summer we all (you included) helped build homes for 10 families and countless people encountered the gospel. That is a beautiful thing.

The next steps for me involve, at this chapter, being close to family and my home church back in Wisconsin! I am going to continue serving here, but in a bit of a different way. That is, through a new job (yay!) and through getting involved more in my church/community (also yay!)

One thing I learned through my internship is we are all missionary’s in all of our fields. We can all be used to share the gospel and serve our communities, no matter what career we are in.

I go to Haven Church in Eau Claire, feel free to stop by anytime and say hi 🙂 I see a fair amount of you every Sunday 😉

Lastly here’s my cell if you every want someone to talk to: 715-828-8716. Feel free to reach out 🙂

God bless you all, and continue to shine the light of Jesus in our communities!

Love, Bryce

So I am halfway through my internship. I have helped lead 6 home builds, and there are 4 more to go.

God has been working here, in our hearts and in our minds. The families we have built for have left incredibly blessed, in more ways that just receiving a home. We have all felt the spirit work, and being the hands and feet of Jesus has been wonderful.

One of the coolest parts of the process is when the family we are building for gets involved in building the home themselves. Or even when their children come up and share the biggest smile. It reminds us why we do what we do; to bless families.

“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace” ( 1 Peter 4:10 )

I pray we all continue to serve each other through God’s grace, as we open our hearts to Him.

Hope everyone at home is doing well 🙂 I can’t wait to connect with you all in person when I get back!

For most of my life I have been focused on myself. What I want, what I feel, etc.

I have heard three testimonies in the last 2 days, and one thing has become more and more clear, it’s not about me.

The impact we are able to have on the families we serve and sharing the love of God changes hearts and lives. There is so much joy in the photos attached, and all of us have a blast serving the Kingdom.

Service can look so many different ways, and I am still learning more about what service looks like, but one thing I encourage you to do is open your hearts to love one another.

I want you to know you already have and will change lives. Your support allows us to share the love of Jesus with families, and every one of you plays a critical role in Kingdom building.

I can truly say God has changed my life. I pray he continues to change the lives we touch through Him, opening all our hearts to service, putting the focus on loving one another and Him.

With love,

Bryce Hurd

The outpouring of support I’ve felt from everyone has been incredible. It has been wonderful to connect with old friends, new people, and fellow believers. And because of all you awesome people, my $4,000 fundraising goal is now complete! (with 2 days to spare!).

Thank you everyone for your prayerful, personal, and financial support. I can’t wait to keep you updated on how your support impacts the families we serve in Mexico.

Starting Monday, I will start the training process through my first build with 3 other interns (Ian, Cade, and Gabe) and the Casas staff.

Please be praying for the health and safety of Yovani and Araceli (our first family we will be building for) and their 3 children. I am attaching a link to their profile page on the Casas Por Cristo website here.

I can’t wait to get started on the build and learning process, and sharing it with you all.

Many more blog posts and new pictures to come!

Thank you all!
