The Way will be closed today as per it’s policy to close when School is closed. Although Trigg will be doing Non Traditional Instruction (NTI), students will be doing so from home and school campus closed. Should there be an appreciable snow today, it is extremely doubtful School will be open on Friday either since temps will not be above freezing and county roads unclear. Please stay as safe and warm as possible. Thank you so much and GOD bless you. ... See MoreSee Less

Twenty six of the approximately 30 students who graduated (successful completion of 5 of 6 weeks) from Wildcat At The Way Workshops were treated to a Movie (Disney’s Encata) at WK Cinema in Hopkinsville before returning to The Way to eat their Chick Fil A meal. We were unable to eat on site because CFA’s does not currently allow dining in, due to COVID. Thanks to Trigg Schools for funding movie and meal for their graduates from Guitar, Cooking, Sewing, Arts and Crafts, Singing, “Sparta Cats” (physical fitness), Work Ready Job Skills and “Best Self” (Topic of Grief Counseling), and Line Dancing, Trigg Schools and The Way are very proud of these graduates. The Way is also very proud of the 5 students (Carl Corley, Donnie Howard, Braden Goodman, Kurt Thomas and Caleb Wadlington) who completed a Bible Study (“JESUS in HIS own words”) taught by Bro. Matt Shown, Pastor of Crossroads Church. Four of these were able to enjoy movie and meal. Funding and transportation provided by The Way. Thanks so much to “Team Laura” (Shelton and Miller) for arranging the transportation and meals for WATW students and for going as Chaperons. Thanks to The Way’s own “Music Man” Bruce Grace for also going as a Chaperon. Bruce always knows when and where to be to make sure students are doing what they are suppose to do. All students were deserving of such a trip, which reinforces good things happen when one demonstrates commitment and perseverance towards accomplishing goals. ... See MoreSee Less

On Tuesday (December 14t), Students and Volunteers were so very blessed to be provided a Mini CHRISTmas Concert by “GOD’s Crew”, The Way’s Singing Group. The Choir, led by Sister Laura Miller, Worship Leader at Crossroads Church and Joy Stallons of Liberty Point, were formed in 2018 and have been such an inspiration and source of pride for all of us who serve at The Way. Laura and Joy are such wonderful role models for these young women and not only teach them how to improve their musical abilities, while learning and singing Spiritually uplifting songs, but build their confidence to accomplish great things. They are assisted by Bruce Grace, who along with Mark Thomas and Jerry Brown are doing a fantastic job of teaching beginning and intermediate guitar to aspiring musicians like Alex Smith and Taryn Carter, who are in the below video. GOD’s Crew performed the popular Casting Crowns/Matthew West song “Nobody” as well as CHRISTmas favorites “Do You Hear What I Hear” and “Angels We Have Heard On High”. Please pray for these men and women as they pour their Christian love and wisdom into our students and for students to grow in CHRIST.Singers (L-R) Abby Cartwright, Joy Stallons, Amy Brown, Gracie Eiben, Daniel and Anna Davis, Sara Cartwright, Laura Miller, and Bruce Grace. ...

Sisters and Brothers in CHRIST, Although The Way’s primary mission is to Evangelize, Disciple, and prepare students for success in the future (Spiritually and Physically), GOD uses it for much much more ----hosting medical classes, adult education, job training classes, senior citizen ministries, adult prayer groups and recreation, etc. HE also blesses us to be able to partner with local Churches, school officials, individuals, organizations etc. to provide and coordinate supplies and services to the community including giving needed home items –beds, furniture, etc. (free usually through collection of items for yard sales), CHRISTmas presents (though school, churches, Knights of Columbus, etc) and food from many sources. These are just a few of the many ministry opportunities GOD has given to us and we have been obedient to perform. Humbled by what GOD has allowed us to be a part of. Yesterday (Wednesday November 3rd) is the most recent example. Wal-Mart Distribution Center (thank you Trish Jones and Greta Smith) donated 7 pallets of 8 oz bottles of hand sanitizer, 1 pallet of kids masks and some other miscellaneous item. We have already distributed approximately 300 cases of hand sanitizers and a dozen boxes of masks (1,000 per box) to numerous organizations in Trigg County (Churches, Nursing Homes, Assisted Living, Hospital, Genesis Express, Simple Blessings, etc. etc. Items also given to ministries outside Trigg e.g. Bright Life Farms in Princeton (thanks to Schisler), The King’s Ministry in Bardstown (thanks to Kenneth Jones), Micah’s Ministry (David Bannister) in Hopkinsville, Marcella’s Kitchen in Benton (Dennis Whitten) and Fifth Ward Missionary Baptist Church in Clarksville. We still have plenty of hand sanitizer and some masks to donate to non profit organizations. Thanks to Jerry and Ann Schisler and Dennis Whitten for transporting and delivering items and to Gene Oller, Bobby Sellers, Mike Bryan, Matt Franklin and others for helping unload trailers and assisting those picking up items. Narratives for pictures below are as follows: Hopefully in the order shown as FB uploads images weird. 1. Matt Franklin, Refuge Church.2.
