History
Ever since we founded Awakening Events many years ago, we knew we had a great opportunity to reach out and help those less fortunate than ourselves. Through the Awakening Foundation we are able to offer care and practical support to people who need it both in our local community in Arkansas and some specific projects around the world. You will see we aim to encourage and equip folk who are poor, marginalised, broken and hurting.
Rather than choose many projects to support, we have committed to offer long-term friendship to a specific few situations and shine some light for them, and when the need arises to respond to crises here in the USA.
We would be thrilled if you might be prompted to join us in offering hope into one or more of these places!
