Welcoming Paton Fulginiti into the World
On Tuesday, October 27th at 3:58am, our family
welcomed Jacob Paton Fulginiti into the world.
He weighed 7 lbs and 9 oz and was 21 inches long. We are affectionately going to call him Paton.
We would commend everyone to listen or read the following lecture on John G. Paton's life, family and ministry to get a full appreciate for our son's namesake. Click here to access it.
Prayer Request:
Our most urgent prayer request is for Amy. She received an epidural upon arriving at the hospital that never quite worked. The next day, Amy began to experience sudden pain in her back and neck. The doctors believe that she is experiencing some negative side effects from the epidural which is causing her spinal fluid to leak. In addition to her pain, she's had dizziness, nausea, vomiting and overall weakness. She's on bedrest for the foreseeable future.
In the midst of our family's joy, this is definitely challenging and discouraging for Amy and all of us. Would you pray for Amy to experience relief and recovery during this time?
**UPDATE**
Thank you for praying! I wanted to give you a quick update on Amy's wellbeing. She is still moving slowly, but is progressing. Her headaches and dizziness have subsided a great deal. She's able to get up and move around a bit, which is a good sign! Recovery is still slow, but it's moving in the right direction.
Paton is doing great. He had his first doctor's appointment and everything is looking good. He sleeps and eats well.
We have been very blessed by your prayers. Thank you so much!
-Zach, Amy, Zachary, Mae & Paton

Summer 2015 Trials
Post was originally composed on July 15, 2015
Over the past three weeks, God has been stripping away our family's desire for comfort and stability. Last update, I mentioned some trouble in our home. Thank you for praying for us. Here's a little bit of what our family has been through recently:
In the midst of all of this, I've been reminded of Philippians 3:21 which tells us that our citizenship is not here on earth but rather in heaven. Life as a sojourner or a foreigner is not usually easy. And such is life for the Christian. Even in these small things, we are reminded of our need for a Savior and long for Him to return soon.
Thank you for partnering with us. Thank you for interceding on our behalf.

Over the past three weeks, God has been stripping away our family's desire for comfort and stability. Last update, I mentioned some trouble in our home. Thank you for praying for us. Here's a little bit of what our family has been through recently:
- Returned from Myrtle Beach to find the A/C in our home was not working properly.
- To avoid the heat, we decided to stay with my parents for a night and came back to our house to find a a toilet had run all night and leaked all over our downstairs. Parts of four different rooms were ruined by the water damage.
- It has been three weeks and the drying company still has not completely dried our downstairs. Blowers and dehumidifiers are still running.
- All of our downstairs hardwoods need to be ripped up because we were unable to match new flooring with that which remained.
- YESTERDAY, the repair crew came by to rip up the tile downstairs to more completely dry the subflooring but instead of ripping up the downstairs, THEY MISTAKENLY RIPPED UP THE UPSTAIRS BATHROOM TILE. We were shocked, stunned and very upset.
- After three weeks, the floors are still not dry, the downstairs hardwoods still need to be ripped up and now the upstairs bathroom tile needs to be removed and replaced.
- It's now been seven weeks since we lat slept in our beds and it looks like it'll be another 2-3 weeks before the damages are repaired
In the midst of all of this, I've been reminded of Philippians 3:21 which tells us that our citizenship is not here on earth but rather in heaven. Life as a sojourner or a foreigner is not usually easy. And such is life for the Christian. Even in these small things, we are reminded of our need for a Savior and long for Him to return soon.

Campus Kickoffs!
The first six weeks of school are some of the busiest weeks on campus. Our staff teams and student leaders at Wingate and UNC Charlotte have spent hours upong hours of meeting students all over campus meeting students, building relationships and having SALT talks. We would love your prayers for us during this intensive season of ministry. Pray that the gospel would go forth and the Lord would be preparing "diving appointments" for our staff and students.
Primetime
Wingate University: This week marked the first evangelistic meeting at Wingate this year. There were 130 students who came to hear the message of the gospel, to meet new people and have fun! In the coming weeks, investigative Bible Studies will be starting all over campus. Pray for the seeds of the gospel to fall on good soil at Wingate University!The U
UNC Charlotte: There have been two weekly evangelistic meeting on campus so far. These meetings are called: "The U". The U is a place for student leaders to bring their friends to hear the gospel message. This past week, 140 students came to hear about the reality of sin in the world and the consequences of sin in their lives. Pray for next week as we share the Good News of the gospel at The U!
Amy & I are deeply thankful for your partnerhsip in the gospel. Your prayers and support are invaluable to our ministry. If there is anyway in which we can pray for you, please contact us! Thank you again and God Bless!
For the World,
Zach & Amy

Summer Beach Project Update!
Summer Beach Project Update!
We have been here over three weeks now and this coming Sunday our staff leave and turn the project over to student-run leadership. Click here: http://summerbeachproject2012.wordpress.com/ to see an update from the SBP. Five students on our project have made professions of faith and over 15 more people have professed faith in Christ as we share the gospel with the community of Myrtle Beach. Thank you for your prayers for us and the 170 students here to know Christ and make Him known!
Zachary has been having a great time here in Myrtle Beach, but is a bit timid around the ocean!
Here is a picture from a recent UNC Charlotte campus time with many of the students who are participating on the Summer Beach Project. Thank you for your prayers for them!
