I checked my voicemail after seeing I'd missed a call from John Shockley on Monday evening. This is what I heard: I was joyfully stunned. We'd received the good news just a few weeks ago that concrete footers were finally being poured on the site for the foundation. Now this. Since the voice [...]

In the past few weeks as dirt has begun to move on the land, the building team has been meeting ever more frequently.

Trey Moore is the fundraising team leader on the Immeasurably More team. He also serves on staff at Virginia Tech Cru, leads a small group for Northstar with his wife Rebecca and serves on Northstar's Leadership Board. He shared these thoughts with us for our Immeasurably More Celebration Sunday on November 4.
