On April 7th, Mark and JoAnne Morris welcomed more than 200 guests who in turn applauded the Help One Child founders for their passion and vision that has sustained the ministry of Help One Child for 20 years!
Their stories, along with others who have worked alongside them over the years, inspired even more advocates and churches to actively engage with our ministry programs. The goal to raise funds sufficient ($100,000) to significantly increase the mission’s impact, including through the Safe Families for Children program was exceeded!
- 29 Churches were represented and over 35 volunteers stepped forward to act as their church liaison to advocate for the ministry
- 11 homes identified themselves as candidates for the new Safe Families for Children program $77,000 was raised before, during, and after the event and continues to grow as corporate matches and other donors join the cause
- Matching grants increased these funds to more than $132,000 ~ praise God!
It was invaluable for guests to hear the testimonies of volunteers and dedicated foster parents like Lois and Peter Raap who have opened their home to children in dire need, only to see their own lives transformed.
Now, how do you put a price on that?
In His Service,
Susan
