Run2TheCross 5K and Fun Run

Here is a letter from a young student that we have sponsored in Africa. He has finished his studies and is going on to the next step in life. This is a “thank you” for helping him get through school. It is so heartfelt and sincere.
If any one of you would like to make an end of the year donation to help others, you can do it by donating to Run2theCross. There are so many others that need our help. PM me or Venmo -DW

11 YEARS STRONG💪

Today we’re celebrating Evan Radtke, our VP of Business Development, who just hit 11 years of continuous sobriety; and we couldn’t be prouder.

Evan’s impact stretches far beyond his impressive wingspan (you can’t tell in this picture but he’s 37 feet tall), he’s a leader, a mentor, and a friend to so many in the recovery world and beyond.

His commitment to growth, connection, and service shows up every single day, and we’re lucky to walk alongside him.

Happy 11 years, Evan! Here’s to many more!

I got the sweetest note today from a precious soul! Thank you, this touched me beyond words. Run2theCross will continue to help those in need both here in our area and around the world!

This is Jon’s well in Zimbabwe, Africa built in 2010 and still pumping water after all these years. Christian Academy school began at Nkulumane church of Christ where Lisa Morris, Diane and Sarah Young and I visited in 2014. If not for this well the government would not have given their approval to begin the school. There is no other consistent available water in the area and these high schoolers would have had no other opportunity to further their education. Above all, they are becoming children of God.

Some updated photos of work we’ve helped with at Emmaus House in Haiti.

Our continued support for One Place of the Shoals.

What a huge success! Thank you to all who turned out, ran, prayed and donated to our Run2theCross event!! We’re still trying to reach our goal. Can you help us? Venmo -DW or mail 151 Shadybrook Dr 35630
