LITE C3E
College Encouragement, Education & Empowerment Tour
LINC’s L.I.T.E. recently hosted a trip to North Carolina Central University in Durham for youth participating in the program. The young people had a wonderful time. Based on the experience, two of the participants have expressed their desire to become NC Central Eagles after graduation.
We are giving a huge shout-out to our community partners, supporters, and sponsors for donations and the gift of time that made the trip possible:
- Greater Shekinah Glory Full Gospel Ministries | Jacksonville, NC
- Epoch Church | Wilmington
- Vigilant Hope, Inc. | Wilmington
- Local Reentry Council at LINC
- Good Shepherd Center
- Anthony Brumm aka Shaka Ali
- and many individual donors
