So, in case some of you don't know about ARM (Alabama Rural Ministries) I will enlighten you. This is an awesome ministry that serves families in need in rural Alabama (hence the name!). ARM achieves this by helping families repair their homes, providing day camps for children during the summer, etc. BUT, this post is about ARM's "Walk Across Alabama". A group of sure footed folks are walking across the Black Belt of Alabama (from Tuskegee to Livingston) to raise awareness of the condition of poverty housing in Alabama. This is an amazing endeavor and Jason and I got the opportunity to participate with the walkers in a work day in Selma this Saturday. It was an awesome blessing to us to be able to serve and I hope by blogging about it more people will know about this great group of people! Please pray for the walkers but more importantly, pray for the people they are raising awareness for! I am not sure how to put captions under the pictures, but these are the pictures: Lisa Pierce (Executive Director of ARM), David and Jason (dirty but still smiling), the sort of "before" picture of the house (note the size of the brush pile), the "after" picture (we had 3 other piles going at this point because this brush pile got too tall), the Edmund Pettus bridge (site of the historic civil rights march)
