Voices of Faith Ministries hosts “Jesus Saves” 5K

Voices of Faith Ministries kicked off its “Jesus Saves” 5K walk on April 13 at its Stone Mountain campus with nearly 300 registrants turning out for the event.

Bishop Gary Hawkins, Sr., founder of Voices of Faith, said the church launched the inaugural walk ahead of Resurrection Sunday as a way to evangelize and reach the unchurched in a way that had not done previously.

“We have participated in other walks but never had a walk of our own. With so many people celebrating Easter, we wanted to show our love for Jesus Christ by being visible in the community as one body,” said Bishop Hawkins.

Many who participated wore “Jesus Saves” T-shirts.

Congregation members provided water, fruit and breakfast bars for the event. Moves 2 Inspire Owner Cherise Atwater led the warm-up exercises before the walk.
