Missions Mondays – CROP walk



Have you ever participated in a CROP walk? Our family has done many. I actually walked with the children before they could walk themselves. Our church works with three other nearby church to host the annual walk which is usually in late October. We have walked in shorts, raincoats, and parkas. One year it actually snowed. CROP walks are a great way to get exercise, spend time with the family, and raise money to end hunger around the world. Fortunately our organizers usually plan a long and short route in an attempt to be as inclusive as possible. I am posting about this now in case you are so inspired that you wish to set up a walk for your local community. To see a listing of walks that are already scheduled, go here.

CROP walks are one of the many great works performed by Church World Services. Checkout their website to find out more about their programs.
