God’s Word
For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe (I Thessalonians 2:13).
God’s Word has inherent power because it is the carrier of undisputed truth. Nothing can withstand it, succeed against it, overcome it, or disprove it. In fact, God’s Word “is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart” (Heb. 4:12).
Because God is timeless, living in the continual present, his Word is always immediate. These are not mere ideas we read and study in the Bible; they are the contemporary thoughts and expressions of the boundless God who is always now. That is why they are living, used by the Holy Spirit to penetrate and effect change where mere words or ideas could not.

July Devotional
Free Indeed If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:31-32). People like to talk about freedom. But true freedom is not the freedom to do what you wish also it is the
June Devotional
In this life, we are prone to worry about many things. But David gives us the cure for worry in Psalms 37: 5-7 he writes, “Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass. Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for
May Devotional
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work (II Timothy 3:16-17 NKJV). The word inspiration literally means God-breathed. In this word, we have

Helping Our Community Navigate Their “Road Trip”
Pisgah Lutheran Church in Lexington, SC recently hosted their Vacation Bible School with the theme “Road Trip”—and we were glad to help them bring it to life!
We loaned a few roadway signs from the I-26 MM 85–101 Archer United JV project to make the experience even more fun and immersive for the kids. It’s always rewarding to see how our work in infrastructure can also support and connect with our local communities in unexpected ways.
At the close of the program, it was inspiring to see the smiles, laughter, and lessons learned along the way. Big thanks to Pisgah Lutheran for inviting us to be part of their journey—and safe travels to all the young explorers as they head out from this year’s school adventures!
Restoring Access and Hope: Emergency Bridge Project in Asheville, NC
In the wake of Hurricane Helene’s devastation across the Carolinas, United Infrastructure Group (UIG) had boots on the ground quickly. While supporting storm recovery efforts in the Asheville area as part of the I-26 Buncombe project with Fluor, our team received a unique opportunity to serve on a more personal level.
In January 2025, Pastor Robert Joly of Kingstree Presbyterian Church, leading a disaster response mission under the Presbyterian Church in America’s Mission to North America, contacted UIG CEO Jim Triplett. Pastor Joly was assisting homeowners in Western North Carolina and had learned of a local resident whose private bridge had been washed away during the storm in September 2024. The bridge was the only means of vehicular access to the man’s home—and for over four months, he had been cut off.
On Saturday, January 18, five UIG employees—Edward Castillo, Edward Castillo Jr., Stanley Clark, Bo Harris, and Manny Privette—volunteered their time and skills to restore access. They developed a plan using salvaged materials from the stream bank to construct a temporary bridge. The original girders were lifted and stabilized, fill was placed beneath the washed-out section, and timber decking was installed. Approximately 50 volunteer man-hours were contributed to complete the project.
Special thanks to Carolina CAT for providing an excavator on short notice, allowing the team to complete the work efficiently.
This project exemplified what UIG stands for: faith, service, and real-world impact. The resident was finally able to drive home again—for the first time in four months.
Bridging the Gap for Youth: Camp Canaan Bridge Replacement in Rock Hill, SC
In April 2025, United Infrastructure Group took on a project close to home—replacing the main access bridge to Camp Canaan, a nonprofit Christian youth camp located on a 100-acre island in the Catawba River in Rock Hill, SC. Camp Canaan serves over 2,500 children and families annually through summer camps, church retreats, school programs, and leadership training.
When Hurricane Helene swept through the region in 2024, the camp’s only vehicle-accessible bridge was destroyed, leaving staff, emergency services, and campers without access. With the camp’s summer programming at risk, and commercial bridge replacement costs estimated in the hundreds of thousands, Camp Canaan faced the possibility of canceling its upcoming season—and worse, long-term financial strain that could threaten its mission.
United Infrastructure Group stepped in and committed to rebuilding the bridge at no cost to the organization. Crews from our Rock Hill and Columbia offices coordinated permitting, design adjustments, and full construction—all on an accelerated timeline.
More than 300 hours were donated by UIG employees, restoring critical access to the island just in time for the summer camp season. Thanks to this collaborative effort, Camp Canaan resumed operations safely, continuing to provide life-changing experiences for youth across the region.
This project not only reconnected a physical bridge—it reinforced our belief in building up the communities we serve.
UIG Teammate Requests
