Nearly 200 gathered at The Farm for our 2nd Annual Foster FUN Walk. It could not have been a more beautiful day! Kids and families raced off the FUN Bus to start walking their mile walk — four times around the Activity Path. Enthusiastic, fun-loving volunteers hooted encouragement as Walkers passed by. Bubbles, an egg hunt, and carnival games added to the festivities. Over $25,000 was raised thanks to all our generous sponsors and hard-working families! A huge thanks also to our very engaging volunteers who made this day SO much fun!

On Good Friday, we hosted our beloved ministry partner Village Church of Bartlett at The Farm for their Good Friday Encounter. Nearly 160 came to observe this holy day through Bible teaching, a service project, and an overview of The Ruth Project by walking the Activity Path. This included hunting for eggs holding tiny sheep representing our Tela, the blemished lamb, and our own need for salvation. Thanks to the wonderful VCOB staff, who made this an incredibly meaningful event for all of us!

The Ruth Project is forming a sweet partnership with Selah Home, a new home in Yorkville providing immediate love and care to foster children. We hosted the team, led by Shari Chapman, for a tour and luncheon before their team created their own prayer walk around the Activity Path to prepare for their launch this summer. We can’t wait for Selah Home to become a Ruth Family and join in on all our Support Events and activities. What a wonderful opportunity with wonderful new friends!
