Walk for the Waiting 2016 –
An Inspiring Success!
What an amazing event this past Saturday! The Church, community and state agency all came together in the effort to make sure every child in Arkansas has a foster or forever family. Most encouraging was seeing so many church teams participating and walking together and embracing the cause of our local orphans and children in crisis — like never before. Lots of new faces! A special thank you to our church reps for leading and growing your church teams!
Over $230,000 was raised and more donations are still coming in. (And our board DIDN’T have to kiss a pig – thank you!) I can’t begin to tell you how incredible it was to see so many people coming together on behalf of these children so dear to God’s heart and watching Him move hearts to action. Thank you to everyone who participated and supported! Looking forward to even greater things for the Walk-in 2017!
