New Beginnings Fellowship Church, led by Dr. James A. Jackson, Sr., recently hosted a 6K walk to support children in Rwanda by providing access to cleaner water.

The church partnered with World Vision for the event, which symbolizes the distance children in Rwanda walk to fetch water that is often not clean. The initiative aims to reduce the distance and improve water quality for these communities.

Dr. Jackson highlighted the challenges of maintaining faith amidst life’s struggles, noting that the Bible contains stories of people who faced similar battles.

He stressed the importance of understanding that struggling with faith is a natural response to life’s difficulties.

The church broadcasts its services on WNDY-TV, allowing people to experience ministry from home. Dr. Jackson noted that this has become increasingly popular since the pandemic, as people have grown comfortable with remote worship.

Despite the convenience of home worship, Dr. Jackson emphasized the benefits of attending church in person, such as fellowship and mutual encouragement among believers. He believes that being around others can help individuals realize they are not alone in their struggles.

Through initiatives like the 6K walk, New Beginnings Fellowship Church continues to extend its mission beyond its walls, fostering hope and faith in communities both locally and globally.
