Arkansas Challenge

March 29, 2025

Registration Deadline is March 15th. We expect registration to fill up quickly, so be sure to secure your spot! 

*This is a women's-only event.

In Arkansas, our Challenge will take place at Queen Wilhelmina State Park, a historic park that has Arkansas's second-highest peak and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding Ouachita National Forest. There, we will strengthen our faith, passion, and sisterhood while standing against the injustice of human trafficking. Through guided prayer, we’ll approach the issue of human trafficking with the perspective of heaven, trusting that our worship and dedication will move mountains on behalf of the vulnerable.  

The funds raised go to projects worldwide, supporting freedom through prevention, development, rescue, and restoration to set oppressed and vulnerable women and children on a pathway to freedom. Together in Arkansas, we will dedicate our efforts to freeing the enslaved.
