Jeremy Woodall, BCM Campus Minister at the University of Arkansas Monticello, is using his passion for a worthy mission. In 2020, he hiked the 223-mile Ouachita National Hiking Trail to raise funds and awareness for children in foster care. This November, he will be hiking for the same mission – homes for vulnerable children. This hike will help keep adoptions free for waiting families. At just over 200 miles, Jeremy will hike the Ozark Highlands Trail from Lake Fort Smith to the Buffalo National River.
This hike presents greater challenges, but Woodall is passionate about supporting the mission of Arkansas Baptist Children & Family Ministries. Jeremy is asking for 200 people to match his 200 miles by giving $100. All proceeds will go directly toward Connected Adoptions, a Division of ABCFM.
Immanuel Baptist Church Monticello will be holding an online dessert auction starting Friday April 15th on their Facebook page.
Due to health concerns and the unknown in the near future on gatherings due to the spike in covid our plans had to unfortunately change.
First, thank you for your support of changing lives of children in your community and creating a new special event for Monticello. We have made the difficult decision to transition the 5K from an in-person run/walk to a virtual run/walk, where participants can complete the run/walk in their neighborhood, on treadmill, wherever they usually run or walk. They can send results to us and we will send them a T-shirt and medal.
