Our Interview and some updates
First, I have to say “thank you” to WSFA and Kim Hendrix for allowing us another opportunity to share about the work of ARM and more specifically the walk. I was glad to have Carla Reddle join us. This will be Carla’s second summer of serving with us and she will also be a support driver. I’m not sure what is worse-walking 20 miles a day-or driving 20 miles.
So, I’m really excited! We will have people joining us in some of the communities as we stop through and we are having the United Methodist television crew coming to Selma to film. It will be very exciting but it is still really about those we will be serving. I love where Jesus describes his mission as to give sight to the blind, release the captives, and allow the oppressed to go free. I pray that is our sense of mission. As we get closer, I will be writing a little bit more about our call to serve with the poor and those who struggle.
If you still want to walk but aren’t registered, we have extended the deadline to June 4th. If you are in Tuskegee or Auburn, we would love for you to join us for the launch event and possibly walk a mile or two. Our next big rally time is in Selma and we will have a workday on the 13th. We will meet at Church Street UMC in downtown Selma. A reception is planned in Livingston on June 19th as we finish our journey. So, please pray for us or find us somewhere on HW 80!
Finally-please pray for me…I’ve been a bit under the weather which makes training somewhat difficult.
Blessings!- see you on the walk
