On-campus mission trip reaches goals
Work week sees projects completed, faculty and staff grow closer

Tigerville, SC - The first week of August saw over 100 faculty and staff from North Greenville University working together to help get the campus ready for students coming this fall.
    Employees worked on projects across Tigerville - finishing University owned houses, painting residence halls, remodeling older buildings for new purposes and enhancing the new athletic complex.
    "We've got a lot of growth happening and a lot of students coming," said NGU President Dr. Jimmy Epting. "We thank the Lord for what He's doing. We are experiencing growing pains, but these are good problems to have."
    Enrollment is expected to be another record with early estimates over 1,900 students this fall. Because of the number of students and the fire damage to Vandiver Residence Hall, the work week was needed to accommodate the influx of students.
    Most volunteers stopped by their office before heading to the work site where team leaders held devotions every morning. All the volunteers gathered for lunch in Hayes Ministry Center, went back out and worked until everyone went home tired but satisfied.
