ABC 7 Prime Time News Coverage

Friday May 24th, our story aired on the 5:00pm news. This is a huge step towards getting as many people behind this project as possible. We need all the help we can get, and the more who know about it, the more that will help.

We're so thankful for all of the media outlets that have shared our story for us.

We were recently interviewed by Different Drummers, an online show that talks to churches about different topics regarding religion, and service, and community. That video will be up soon, but in the meantime, here are some behind-the-scene shots.
