Hello FWALT Community,

It’s hard to believe that we have wrapped up another excellent round of walks with FWALT #33 and #34!  It is always amazing to see how God shows up, and I am never in doubt that He will indeed show up and show out.  We had two very successful walks, and plans are well on their way for walks #35 and #36!

We continue to have Send-Offs at Camp Bethany.  This has been going very well, and we appreciate all who came out to make Send Off, Serenade, and Closing such a success.

This past Saturday, we had our annual Fall Gathering.  Even with the torrential downpour that spread across the Arklatex (and we all know we needed the rain!), many of you came out to fellowship, worship, hear testimonies, and pray over our newest Lay Leaders.

Thank you to Cornerstone Baptist Church for hosting us again.

At our Gathering, we heard remarkable testimonies from Christian Kemp and Thomas Kennedy, who just walked on walks #33 and #34.  Thank you both for sharing a little of your stories and how your FaithWalk experiences have impacted your lives.

Kevin Holt provided a great devotional, and worship was led by Sarah Fortenberry, Reisa Johnson, and Sara Lloyd.  Rain on a metal roof was loud, but an entire community of brothers and sisters in Christ worshiping together was even more deafening.

Thank you very much to our outgoing board members, Joyce Bell and Nick Hyman.

Your FWALT Board for 2026 will be: 
Melisa Plunk – Chair
Brant Allen – Chair
Peyton Wyatt – Treasurer
Tommie Crow – Secretary
Adam Traylor – Communications
New board members coming on in January:
Vicki Cabra
