How it started 

Walk for the Waiting is the joint effort of three Arkansas ministries focused on caring for 

children and families connected to the foster care system. The CALL, Project Zero, and 

Immerse Arkansas are pooling their efforts to collectively invite the Church to meet the 

needs of these children through prayer, funding, and families. 

In our inaugural year last year, we witnessed God’s power in many ways. Our first 

fundraising “stretch” goal was $80,000. That was quickly surpassed and in the end, over 

$250,000 was raised. Over 800 walkers and nearly 70 churches turned out to show their 

support. When all was said and done, only God could be praised. 

Vision

“The right family for every waiting child.” 

We envision a future for every waiting child beyond their current circumstances or past 

abuse, believing each child’s potential can best be realized in a loving Christian family. 

We are working toward a day when there are NO WAITING CHILDREN in Arkansas. 

Our prayer instead is for families waiting to foster and adopt. Because of God’s mighty 

movement in the Church, when a child enters the system, families will be lined up to take 

the child in. 

Core Values: 

¦ Sacrifice – serving with the heart of God, no matter the cost 

¦ Perseverance – never giving up on a child 

¦ Compassion – walking with children on their path to restoration 

¦ Integrity – in everything, above reproach 

¦ Excellence – giving our best to those in need 

Funding Goal 

Through this year’s Walk, we are asking and praying for $400,000. This goal was 

created based on the combined budget “gap” for 2014 for each of the three 

organizations involved, funds for additional programmatic projects, and to cover the 

underwriting costs of the event. The pages that follow provide additional detail. 

Call to Action

To make “NO WAITING CHILDREN” a reality requires a significant investment of 

resources. The financial cost to the Church to lead in providing a solution cannot be 

minimized. Please consider a sacrificial investment into the lives of these modern day 

orphans and help us lay a foundation for impactful service to these children.
